High Performance Storage System |

|
The following is an overview of three new features that can be found in HPSS 8.2.0. |
New to HPSS 8.2.0
Rumbler API Support
HPSS provides an API to allow unified storage namespace (USN) applications to incorporate snapshots of the HPSS namespace.
USN applications provide a higher-level view of storage in data centers, including parallel file systems, project space, community and campaign stores, and archive namespaces. Such applications provide high-speed search capabilities and additionally allow annotation of data sets with custom metadata for multiple purposes including, but not limited to:
- Assign provenance e.g. Digital Object Identifiers (DOI)
- Describe access frequency (hot, warm, cold) to drive data migration policies
- Classify data with arbitrary tags to assist with workflow automation
- Calculate/apply hashes for purposes of data integrity checking, de-duplication, etc.
Parallel FTP Update: Support for MLST
MLST functionality is added to PFTP. MLST provides data about exactly the object named on its command line and no others.
Parallel FTP Update: Support Checksum
The PFTP client and server now support setting and getting HPSS file hash information. This information is the E2EDI file hash metadata stored along with the bitfile - this is not the legacy User-defined Attributes-based file hash.
