What Hacker News says
8 sourcesShow HN: OpenDAL, one API to access all the storages (S3, Azblob, HDFS, etc.)
30 points · Open discussionSounds likely.
The core part of OpenDAL is a Rust crate that provides fs-like APIs over different storage backends, but we also investigate providing other interfaces like a CLI. We have an experimental binary named `oli`[1].
You're welcome to start a discussion[2] to share how you use rclone and we may find it fit in OpenDAL's scope :D

In Welcome to Apache OpenDALI've often felt we need an abstraction for just this. "Bring your own storage" so that you can sign up and provide a "bucket", then the service will read/write to that. I think the difficulty lies in all the discrepancies between different storage mechanisms and normalizing the SLA there. If Dropbox is down, and your user is on Dropbox, you'll need a way to communicate that their particular "storage" is offline. The trade off is likely worth it - that is being in full control of your data and having a data export "for free" is worth it to a lot of folks.
OpenDAL was on HN recently and would be a pretty decent abstraction to use for this: https://github.com/apache/incubator-opendal
In Ask HN: Experience using your user's Google Drive instead of a database?Yes, we need a unified API layer like OpenDAL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-opendal
In What's the Future of Unified Cloud Storage?Recommand Apache OpenDAL if you're using S3 to access your data. It's a unified data access layer that simplifies pulling data across different storage backends.
