v3.3 Custom Storage Driver

Common Steps

1. Please review the Storage Driver Inheritance Hierarchy

2. Implement the custom storage driver by coding the abstract methods (see details below).

3. Build the storage driver implementation jar file.

4. Put the storage driver implementation jar file into the Mongoose's directory among with other Mongoose jar files.

5. Modify the config/defaults.json file by adding the implementation info.

   To do this, find the section storage->driver->impl. This is a list of nodes. Each node reflects the particular storage driver implementation metainfo and contains the following required fields:

   • type: the identifier of the storage driver implementation
   • file: the path to a jar file containing the storage driver implementation
   • fqcn: storage driver implementation FQCN (fully qualified class name)

   Append the node describing the custom storage driver implementation to the list.

   Note:

   When using in the distributed mode, the custom storage driver configuration and implementation jar file are required to be located on the storage driver server host.

6. Run Mongoose with an argument --storage-driver-type=X where X is the custom storage driver identifier.
