Distributed Systems File Systems

AI Summary: Implement a configuration management system using YAML/JSON, and create a command-line interface (CLI) using Cobra for the GoVaultFS distributed file system. This includes features like environment variable support, configuration validation, and commands for file operations, peer management, and system status checks.

AI Summary: Implement network health monitoring and self-healing mechanisms for a distributed peer-to-peer file system. This involves adding peer health checks, network partition detection, automatic reconnection, and load balancing to enhance the system's resilience and reliability. The implementation will require creating new modules for health monitoring and self-healing, modifying existing networking and server components, and potentially adding network analytics capabilities.

AI Summary: Implement file streaming capabilities for the GoVaultFS P2P file system, including HTTP range requests for partial downloads, resumable transfers, and potentially streaming protocols for media. This involves modifying existing server components and adding new modules for range request handling and caching.

AI Summary: Implement an access control and permission management system for a distributed peer-to-peer content-addressable file system. This involves creating a user authentication system (likely JWT-based), a permission model (including file ownership, read/write permissions, and public access flags), and integrating these features into the existing file server and API to enforce access control and maintain audit logs.

AI Summary: Develop a web-based user interface for a distributed peer-to-peer file system, including features like file upload/download, peer network visualization, storage analytics, and file search/browsing. This requires building a frontend (React/Vue.js suggested), extending the existing REST API, and creating supporting static assets and templates.

AI Summary: Implement block-level deduplication and compression (gzip, lz4, zstd) within a Go-based, distributed, peer-to-peer content-addressable file system. This involves creating a chunking mechanism, a block index, integrating compression before encryption, and potentially adding delta compression for similar files. Storage analytics should also be implemented to track efficiency gains.

AI Summary: Implement comprehensive logging and monitoring for a distributed peer-to-peer file system, including structured JSON logging, Prometheus metrics integration for performance tracking (file operations, network bandwidth, storage usage, peer connections, request latency), and a Grafana dashboard for visualization. This involves creating a logging framework, a metrics collector, and integrating with Prometheus, as well as adding logging calls throughout the existing codebase.

AI Summary: Implement a dynamic peer discovery mechanism using a Distributed Hash Table (DHT) in a Go-based peer-to-peer content-addressable file system. This involves creating a Kademlia-style DHT, handling peer discovery protocols (FIND_NODE, FIND_VALUE), implementing content routing for efficient file location, and ensuring network resilience against node failures. The goal is to replace the existing bootstrap node dependency for improved scalability and robustness.

AI Summary: Implement file metadata and versioning for a distributed, peer-to-peer, content-addressable file system. This involves designing a metadata structure, choosing a storage mechanism (e.g., SQLite, JSON files), implementing versioning logic (copy-on-write, garbage collection), and integrating metadata handling into existing file operations and APIs. The system should preserve original filenames, track timestamps and sizes, maintain version history, and allow for file tagging and descriptions.
