A file storage stores data in a single file that behaves like
a traditional transaction log. New data records are appended
to the end of the file. Periodically, the file is packed to
free up space. When this is done, current records as of the
pack time or later are copied to a new file, which replaces
the old file.
FileStorages keep in-memory indexes mapping object oids to the
location of their current records in the file. Back pointers to
previous records allow access to non-current records from the
current records.
In addition to the data file, some ancillary files are
created. These can be lost without affecting data
integrity, however losing the index file may cause extremely
slow startup. Each has a name that's a concatenation of the
original file and a suffix. The files are listed below by
suffix:
.index
Snapshot of the in-memory index. This are created on
shutdown, packing, and after rebuilding an index when one
was not found. For large databases, creating a
file-storage object without an index file can take very
long because it's necessary to scan the data file to build
the index.
.lock
A lock file preventing multiple processes from opening a
file storage on non-read-only mode.
.tmp
A file used to store data being committed in the first phase
of 2-phase commit
.index_tmp
A temporary file used when saving the in-memory index to
avoid overwriting an existing index until a new index has
been fully saved.
.pack
A temporary file written while packing containing current
records as of and after the pack time.
.old
The previous database file after a pack.
When the database is packed, current records as of the pack
time and later are written to the ``.pack`` file. At the end
of packing, the ``.old`` file is removed, if it exists, and
the data file is renamed to the ``.old`` file and finally the
``.pack`` file is rewritten to the data file.
