Abstract
One example method includes receiving, by an administrator from a user computer system, a query identifying content the user wants to access, and the administrator and user computer system are elements of a system that includes a group of networked user computer systems, parsing, by the administrator, the query to identify metadata included in the query, identifying, by the administrator, any content of a datastore that matches the metadata, packaging, by the administrator, the datastore content into a virtual filesystem, and exposing, by the administrator, the virtual filesystem to one of the user computer systems.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by an administrator from a user computer system, a query identifying content the user wants to access, and the administrator and user computer system are elements of a system that includes a group of networked user computer systems;
- parsing, by the administrator, the query to identify metadata included in the query;
- identifying, by the administrator, any content of a datastore that matches the metadata;
- packaging, by the administrator, the datastore content into a virtual filesystem;
- and
- exposing, by the administrator, the virtual filesystem to one of the user computer systems.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by an administrator from a user computer system, a query identifying content the user wants to access, and the administrator and user computer system are elements of a system that includes a group of networked user computer systems;
- parsing, by the administrator, the query to identify metadata included in the query;
- identifying, by the administrator, any content of a datastore that matches the metadata;
- packaging, by the administrator, the datastore content into a virtual filesystem;
- and
- exposing, by the administrator, the virtual filesystem to one of the user computer systems.
