Sylvia Ratnasamy, Sean Rhea, and I are working on OpenHash, a public DHT service that supports a put()/get() interface. OpenHash will run on PlanetLab nodes continuously; thus it will be a service, and not a library that requires you to bring up your own DHT and keep it running. A good part of the motivation for OpenHash is to provide a broadly accessible service that offers a DHT routing layer, rendezvous, and persistent (key, value) storage for those who want to *use* a DHT, but not *run* one. We've submitted a (very) preliminary argument for and description of OpenHash to IPTPS 2004; interested parties can find a draft at: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bkarp/openhash-preprint.pdf We're hard at work on the first-pass implementation of OpenHash. While the system isn't available for use yet, we hope to be testing an early pre-alpha version in January. -Brad, bk...@cs... |
