[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-4441?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIID-4441: ------------------------------------- [~kylin] pull request for JIRA had a parallel definition of [FileConnection.java|https://github.com/teiid/teiid/blob/master/api/src/ma...] to represent the FTP access which did not make much sense to me. Since we are requiring the abstraction layer over the File access, I thought why not use [JBoss VFS|https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-vfs] as interface definition, such that we can also cater access to HDFS, GlusterFS kind of source systems with unified interface. We can leave the current File as is and add this additional one or extend the FileConnection to cater both, and hide the complexities of access completely under resource-adapter implementation. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
