Implementation of the File Service
The File Manager Service (FileSvc
) is designed to manage file access within a Gaudi application, providing a centralized interface for handling ROOT files.
This service ensures that files are shared appropriately among algorithms, preventing overwriting or duplication, and simplifies the management of file access in a multi-threaded environment.
Key Features
- Centralized File Management: Provides a single point of access for managing ROOT files, ensuring consistent and controlled file handling.
- File Sharing: Prevents multiple instances of the same file being opened unnecessarily.
- Configuration Mapping: Allows for flexible configuration of file identifiers to file paths.
- File Handling: Includes mechanisms for opening, retrieving, and closing files with error handling.
- Integration with Gaudi Algorithms: Easily integrated with Gaudi algorithms (through the
service
interface)
