Kylin Soong commented on TEIID-4441:
------------------------------------

DO we need Steven's weight? we may need more discussion, If we decided to use VFS, we need change the file translator interface first
{code}
public class FileExecutionFactory extends ExecutionFactory<ConnectionFactory, FileConnection>
{code}
If change 'org.teiid.translator.FileConnection' , add more methods like
{code}
void add(VirtualFile file) throws ResourceException;
VirtualFile getVFSFile(String path) throws ResourceException;
void remote(String path) throws ResourceException;
void delete(VirtualFile file) throws ResourceException;
{code}
 this will bring a vfs dependency to teiid-api module, but teiid-api be used by many modules, vfs has logging dependencies, this looks can not be concise.

I suggest to create a new translator api module like mongo-api, eg, create a VFSFileConnection keep the new methods, and create a new translator
{code}
public class VFSFileExecutionFactory extends ExecutionFactory<ConnectionFactory, VFSFileConnection>
{code}
this translator can work with:
* ftp connector
* hdfs connector
* ...

I will not do any work before I totally clear how we do.
