Hosting

FarEarth uses the concept of "hosting" to share data between processing nodes (executors). Each executor stores the output from its processing job on a host, to be fetched there by the next processing node.

FarEarth supports these hosting protocols:

  • Filesystem: used to integrate local filesystems directly into FarEarth (most commonly used in a standalone self-hosted version of FarEarth)
  • Azure: interfaces with Microsoft's Azure blob storage technology
  • Amazon S3: interfaces with Amazon's S3 buckets
  • Google Cloud Storage: interfaces with Google Cloud Storage buckets
