None of us at DataStax has gotten around to providing that, but to quickly throw something over the wall this is it: https://github.com/datastax/cassandra/blob/main/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/io/storage/StorageProvider.java (with a few friend classes under o.a.c.io.util) We then have a RemoteStorageProvider, private in another repo, that implements that and also provides the RemoteFileSystemProvider that Jake refers to. Hopefully that's a start to get people thinking about CEP level details, while we get a cleaned abstract of RemoteStorageProvider and friends to offer.
