CloudPools protocol support

CloudPools supports inline access of cloud data through protocols such as SMB, NFS, Swift, and HDFS. Consequently, users who access files from other systems can also access files stored in the cloud.

When a user connects to the cluster with a given protocol (SMB, NFS, Swift, and HDFS) and browses files, Smartlink files appear to be original (normal) files.

In those scenarios, when the user opens a SmartLink file, CloudPools retrieves and caches the original file data from the cloud. Depending on the Cache Read Ahead setting, either a portion of the file data, or the entire file, is cached.

If the user modifies the file, CloudPools caches the changes and periodically writes the changes back to the cloud. In this way, the cloud data is kept fully up to date.
