Support for Complex File Formats in Manta Lineage

So the idea here is to augment the Filesystem flow model and introduce the notion of file section. So the idea here would be to add the notion of file section but make it optional, meaning that a given customer could chose to model file with sections or without the notion of sections, when, for instance, producing OpenManta Extensions. See examples below:

Proposed new Filesystem flow model:

Type  |  Description

Server  |  The file Server

Directory  |  Directory containing files and directories

File  |  File in the filesystem

section  | (optional) Section name within the file 

Column  |  Column in a file 

 

Proposed new flow model rules:

Rule 1 - A File can contain zero or more child Sections

Rule 2 - A Section can contain zero or more child Sections

Rule 3 -  A Column can have as a parent node either a Section or a File.
