| * An interface to be implemented by a {@link FileSystem} that is aware of entropy injection. |
| * |
| * <p>Entropy injection is a technique to spread files/objects across more parallel shards of |
| * a distributed storage (typically object store) by adding random characters to the beginning |
| * of the path/key and hence spearing the keys across a wider domain of prefixes. |
| * |
| * <p>Entropy injection typically works by having a recognized marker string in paths |
| * and replacing that marker with random characters. |
| * |
| * <p>This interface is used in conjunction with the {@link EntropyInjector} (as a poor man's |
| * way to build a mix-in in Java). |
