Question about streaming possibility

[elgatito]

Hello,

I'm investigating this library and can't find the way how to implement file streaming with it.

Let's assume huge file is stored in another storage, so I want to use own implementation of file stream, that implements (open/seek/read/write), which then can be used by a framework to get/send chunks of bytes to requestor of this file.

Is this possible with the current state?

Hi @elgatito ,

Lithium is based on async io to serve concurrent requests in one thread. Is your own implementation also async ?
if not you read method will block the whole thread when reading the file. So you'll loose all the benefits of using an async framework like lithium.
