Seamlessly transfer local FileHandles to remote workers. #8

Open robertmaynard opened 10 years ago

robertmaynard commented 10 years ago

Currently FileHandles are only used as type to discriminate between data strings and strings that represent a path to a file.

What we need to be able to do is be able to detect when we are sending a FileHandle to a remote server / worker. When that happens we seamlessly read the contents of the file as a binary blob, and transfer them to the server.

Note we should be able to mark these FileHandles as being destructive. When a file handle is destructive after the transfer has occurred we need to properly remove the file.
