# Create a new instance that will communicate with these trackers:
hosts = %w[192.168.1.69:6001 192.168.1.70:6001]
mg = MogileFS::MogileFS.newdomain => 'test', :hosts => hosts
:root => '/mnt/mogilefs')

# Stores "A bunch of text to store" into 'some_key' with a class
of 'text'.
mg.store_content 'some_key', 'text', "A bunch of text to store"

# Retrieve data from 'some_key'
data = mg.get_file_data 'some_key'

# Store the contents of 'image.jpeg' into the key 'my_image' with
a class of
# 'image'.
mg.store_file 'my_image', 'image', 'image.jpeg'

# Store the contents of 'image.jpeg' into the key 'my_image' with
a class of
# 'image' using an open IO.
File.open 'image.jpeg' do |fp|
mg.store_file 'my_image', 'image', fp
