StoreAll REST API. The StoreAll REST API provides the ability to upload and download files,
assign custom (user-defined) metadata to files and directories, manage file retention settings,
◦
and query the system and custom metadata of files and directories. You can associate any
number of custom (user-defined) metadata attributes to any file or directory stored on a
StoreAll retention-enabled file system where the Express Query metadata store is enabled.
Each custom attribute consists of an attribute name and assigned value. The API provides
commands to create custom metadata entries for a file, replace values of existing entries,
and delete entries. The API extends the existing HTTP Shares feature that was introduced in
IBRIX OS version 6.0.
◦ Express Query. Express Query provides a per file system database of system and custom
metadata, and audit histories of system and file activity. When Express Query is enabled on
the file system, you can manage the metadata service, configure auditing, create reports
from the audit history, assign custom metadata and certain system metadata to files and
directories, and query for selected metadata from files.
