Use a storage pipeline

Registered by Flavio Percoco

Sometimes, before getting to the point where operations are fully consumed by the storage driver, it is useful to apply some filters, transformations or simple registrations. In order to keep the transport layer as much agnostic as possible from what the storage layer does, this blueprint proposes the creation of a pipeline that acts as 'middleware' for the storage layer.

The pipeline must be lightweight and return quickly and has to be mapped 1:1 to what the storage API exposes.
