## Integration with CHORUS Systems

### DHT Integration
The distributed storage layer integrates seamlessly with the existing CHORUS DHT system:
- Uses existing node discovery and communication protocols
- Leverages consistent hashing algorithms
- Integrates with leader election for coordination

### Crypto Integration
The encryption layer uses the existing CHORUS crypto system:
- Role-based key management
- Shamir's Secret Sharing for key distribution
- Age encryption for data protection
- Audit logging for access tracking

### Election Integration
The leader coordination uses existing election systems:
- Context generation coordination
- Backup scheduling management
- Cluster-wide maintenance operations

## Usage Examples

### Basic Context Storage
```go
// Create context store
store := NewContextStore(nodeID, localStorage, distributedStorage, 
    encryptedStorage, cacheManager, indexManager, backupManager, 
    eventNotifier, options)

// Store a context
err := store.StoreContext(ctx, contextNode, []string{"developer", "architect"})

// Retrieve a context
context, err := store.RetrieveContext(ctx, ucxlAddress, "developer")

// Search contexts
results, err := store.SearchContexts(ctx, &SearchQuery{
    Query: "authentication system",
    Tags:  []string{"security", "backend"},
    Limit: 10,
})
```

### Batch Operations
```go
// Batch store multiple contexts
batch := &BatchStoreRequest{
    Contexts: []*ContextStoreItem{
        {Context: context1, Roles: []string{"developer"}},
        {Context: context2, Roles: []string{"architect"}},
    },
    Roles: []string{"developer"}, // Default roles
    FailOnError: false,
}

result, err := store.BatchStore(ctx, batch)
```

### Backup Management
```go
// Create a backup
backupConfig := &BackupConfig{
    Name: "daily-backup",
    Destination: "/backups/contexts",
    IncludeIndexes: true,
    IncludeCache: false,
    Encryption: true,
    Retention: 30 * 24 * time.Hour,
}

backupInfo, err := backupManager.CreateBackup(ctx, backupConfig)

// Schedule automatic backups
schedule := &BackupSchedule{
    ID: "daily-schedule",
    Name: "Daily Backup",
    Cron: "0 2 * * *", // Daily at 2 AM
    BackupConfig: backupConfig,
    Enabled: true,
}

err = backupManager.ScheduleBackup(ctx, schedule)
```

## Monitoring and Alerts

### Prometheus Metrics
The system exports comprehensive metrics to Prometheus:

## Security Considerations

### Data Protection
- All context data is encrypted at rest using role-based keys
