[infinispan-dev] NOVA: A Log-structured File system for Hybrid Volatile/Non-volatile Main Memories

This looks quite interesting!

Not being just a traditional file system, I wonder if we could
leverage some of its specific features like COW and the log structure
to avoid such redundant operations from our side.

For example Lucene's indexes work hard to re-implement a similar
schema on top of a general-purpose filesystem. I'd assume that the
filesystem has some oppoprtunities to do it "better".

Might be of interest for Our off-heap and CacheStores as well.

Thanks,
