Alluxio

Not mountable yet

The caching layer that sits in front of a data lake.

Not yet tested live

What Mountit does with it

Mount
Not usable yet — the backend has no read path, so every file opens empty
Offline cache
Nothing to cache: with no read path there are no bytes for the cache to hold
Encryption layer
Available on this connection: client-side, rclone-compatible crypt over the data before it leaves your Mac
Editions
Both. Either edition mounts it through File Provider, so it appears in Finder — and, on Standard, in the Files app on iPad and Vision Pro

Limits

What Alluxio cannot do, read from the app's own service_traits() — the same answer its connection picker shows before you connect, not a judgement typed onto this page.

No read path
The vendored backend declares no reader at all, so a connection can be made and every file on the mount opens empty. This is scaffolding, not a working volume, and the page says so rather than describing it as a limitation of an otherwise usable mount.

The engineering ledger does not list Alluxio among the services run against a real server, so this page does not claim it was. That is read out of docs/BACKEND-COVERAGE.md in the app repository when this site is built — the build fails rather than let this page claim more than the ledger does.

The conformance record

No lane yet. No server has been stood up to run the corpus against this service, so there is no record to publish. That is the honest answer, not a pending one. Every service’s standing, side by side.

Alluxio questions

Can Mountit mount Alluxio?

Not usefully, and this page will not pretend otherwise. Alluxio is in the app’s service list, but its backend declares no read path at all — so a connection can be configured and every file on it opens empty. Treat it as scaffolding until the backend gains a reader.

What we will not do is claim it works before it does: this page carries the ledger’s evidence level for Alluxio, and it changes the day the evidence does.

Which edition do I need?

Either — this service is in both editions. The difference is the surrounding app, not the protocol: Mountit Pro is the unsandboxed build with the block protocols; Standard is the Mac App Store build, and on iPad and Vision Pro every service appears in the Files app. Both mount this service through File Provider.

Can I actually mount Alluxio today?

No, and this page says so rather than letting you find out after configuring one. The vendored OpenDAL backend declares read: false behind an upstream FIXME — it has no reader at all — so a mount would list directories and then open every file empty.

This page carries the fact because the site reads it out of the backend when it is built, not because anyone remembered. When Alluxio gains a reader upstream, this paragraph changes on the next build.
