SIG Hierarchical Namespaces

Objective

The SIG aims to design and deliver robust, optionally enforceable hierarchical namespaces as first-class citizens in Rucio. We will strengthen and formalise hierarchy enforcement, eliminate inconsistencies around the use of / in DIDs by overhauling affected APIs, policies, and workflows. Our objective is to make hierarchical namespaces easy to adopt without disrupting existing deployments.

Expected End-Date

April 2027

Means to achieve the objective

• Mattermost channel: #hierarchical-namespaces
• eMail list: rucio-sig-hierarchical-namespaces@cern.ch

• Community shepherds
  • The convener is assisted by a team of community shepherds to ensure that the changes address the needs of communities requiring hierarchical namespaces, but as well to ensure that the communities not requiring them are not negatively impacted.
