At the same time, it is the only way I see to rapidly being able to list all bucket entries...* - -**Blocks:** - -- *Hash key:* Version UUID (string) -- *Sort key:* Offset of block in total file (int) -- Hash of data block (string) - -A version is defined by the existence of at least one entry in the blocks table for a certain version UUID. -We must keep the following invariant: if a version exists in the blocks table, it has to be referenced in the objects table. -We explicitly manage concurrent versions of an object: the version timestamp and version UUID columns are index columns, thus we may have several concurrent versions of an object. -Important: before deleting an older version from the objects table, we must make sure that we did a successfull delete of the blocks of that version from the blocks table. - -Thus, the workflow for reading an object is as follows: - -1. Check permissions (LDAP) -2. Read entry in object table. If data is inline, we have its data, stop here. - -> if several versions, take newest one and launch deletion of old ones in background -3.

When writing a blob, write it to a temporary file, close, then rename so that a concurrent read gets a consistent result (either not found or found with whole content). - -Read strategy: the only read operation is get(hash) that returns either the data or not found (can do a corruption check as well and return corrupted state if it is the case). Can be done concurrently with writes. - -**Internal API:** - -- get(block hash) -> ok+data/not found/corrupted -- put(block hash & data, version uuid + offset) -> ok/error -- put with no data(block hash, version uuid + offset) -> ok/not found plz send data/error -- delete(block hash, version uuid + offset) -> ok/error - -GC: when last ref is deleted, delete block. -Long GC procedure: check in Cassandra that version UUIDs still exist and references this block. - -Rebalancing: takes as argument the list of newly added nodes. - -- List all blocks that we have. For each block: -- If it hits a newly introduced node, send it to them. - Use put with no data first to check if it has to be sent to them already or not. - Use a random listing order to avoid race conditions (they do no harm but we might have two nodes sending the same thing at the same time thus wasting time). -- If it doesn't hit us anymore, delete it and its reference list. - -Only one balancing can be running at a same time. It can be restarted at the beginning with new parameters. - -#### Membership management - -Two sets of nodes: - -- set of nodes from which a ping was recently received, with status: number of stored blocks, request counters, error counters, GC%, rebalancing% - (eviction from this set after say 30 seconds without ping) -- set of nodes that are part of the system, explicitly modified by the operator using the web UI (persisted to disk), - is a CRDT using a version number for the value of the whole set - -Thus, three states for nodes: - -- healthy: in both sets -- missing: not pingable but part of desired cluster -- unused/draining: currently present but not part of the desired cluster, empty = if contains nothing, draining = if still contains some blocks - -Membership messages between nodes: - -- ping with current state + hash of current membership info -> reply with same info -- send&get back membership info (the ids of nodes that are in the two sets): used when no local membership change in a long time and membership info hash discrepancy detected with first message (passive membership fixing with full CRDT gossip) -- inform of newly pingable node(s) -> no result, when receive new info repeat to all (reliable broadcast) -- inform of operator membership change -> no result, when receive new info repeat to all (reliable broadcast) - -Ring: generated from the desired set of nodes, however when doing read/writes on the ring, skip nodes that are known to be not pingable. -The tokens are generated in a deterministic fashion from node IDs (hash of node id + token number from 1 to K). -Number K of tokens per node: decided by the operator & stored in the operator's list of nodes CRDT.
