What is POOL?
The POOL project is currently developing a common object storage framework for the LHC Computing Grid (LCG) application area.
The POOL software is developed for the storage of experiment and meta data in the multi-petabyte scale in a distributed and grid computing environment. The project follows a hybrid approach combining C++ object streaming technology such as Root I/O for the bulk data with transactionally safe relational database such as MySQL for collections and meta data. POOL is based on a component model. It provides navigational access to distributed data without exposing details of the particular underlying storage technology.
