Filezcache - cache s3 and other files on disk
=============================================

This is a file caching system optimized for use with cowmachine
but can also be used with other services.

It has some unique properties:

 * Lookups return file references (if possible) which can be used with sendfile
 * Cached files can be streamed to requestors while they are being filled
 * On startup the cache is repopulated with existing files
 * Lookups return data formats directly useable for cowmachine serving

The system uses the file system to store files and a disk log. The files are stored
in `priv/data/` and the disk log in `priv/journal`.

The disk log is used to rebuild the cache after a start. Files present on disk but
not mentioned in the disk log are deleted.

Example
-------

    $ ./rebar3 shell

    ===> Compiling filezcache
    Erlang/OTP 26 [erts-14.2.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:10:10] [ds:10:10:10] [async-threads:1] [jit]
    Eshell V14.2.1 (press Ctrl+G to abort, type help(). for help)
    1> application:ensure_all_started(filezcache).
    ok
    2> filezcache:lookup(mykey).
    {error, enoent}
    3> filezcache:insert(mykey, <<"foobar">>).
    {ok,<0.173.0>}.
    4> filezcache:lookup(mykey).
    {ok,{file,6,"priv/data/4J0I2F06043V5P0V603D4O4I6L1J5M1B4I5Y2B2C606W28131H164Z421M4X6221"}}
    5> filezcache:insert(mykey, <<>>).
    {error,{already_started,<0.173.0>}}
    6> filezcache:delete(mykey).
    ok


Configuration keys
------------------

 * `max_bytes` Maximum size of the cache in bytes, defaults to 10GiB (10737418240 bytes)
 * `journal_dir` Directory for the disk log, defaults to `priv/journal`
 * `data_dir` Directory for the cached files, defaults to `priv/data`

TODO
----

There are some known issues that need to be resolved:

 * Add timeouts to `filezcache_entry` states `wait_for_data` and `streaming`
