Storage Backends¶
Overview¶
metastore-lib
abstracts versioned storage backends, and supports different
storage backends out of the box. The following storage backends are currently
provided:
filesystem
- a “fliesystem-like” storage backend that can use your local file system, in-process memory or any filesystem-like storage supported by [PyFilesystem](https://docs.pyfilesystem.org/).github
- stores metadata in a GitHub repository using the GitHub API
The Storage Backend Factory¶
You can get an instance of any supported backend by providing the backend
type and a configuration dict
to the provided factory function
create_metastore
:
import metastore
# Create an in-memory storage backend
config = {"uri": "mem://"}
backend = metastore.create_metastore('filesystem', config)
