* stop using IURI as an adapter
* pass cap strings around instead of URI instances
* move filenode/dirnode creation duties from Client to new NodeMaker class
* move other Client duties to KeyGenerator, SecretHolder, History classes
* stop passing Client reference to dirnode/filenode constructors
- pass less-powerful references instead, like StorageBroker or Uploader
* always create DirectoryNodes by wrapping a filenode (mutable for now)
* remove some specialized mock classes from unit tests
Detailed list of changes (done one at a time, then merged together)
always pass a string to create_node_from_uri(), not an IURI instance
always pass a string to IFilesystemNode constructors, not an IURI instance
stop using IURI() as an adapter, switch on cap prefix in create_node_from_uri()
client.py: move SecretHolder code out to a separate class
test_web.py: hush pyflakes
client.py: move NodeMaker functionality out into a separate object
LiteralFileNode: stop storing a Client reference
immutable Checker: remove Client reference, it only needs a SecretHolder
immutable Upload: remove Client reference, leave SecretHolder and StorageBroker
immutable Repairer: replace Client reference with StorageBroker and SecretHolder
immutable FileNode: remove Client reference
mutable.Publish: stop passing Client
mutable.ServermapUpdater: get StorageBroker in constructor, not by peeking into Client reference
MutableChecker: reference StorageBroker and History directly, not through Client
mutable.FileNode: removed unused indirection to checker classes
mutable.FileNode: remove Client reference
client.py: move RSA key generation into a separate class, so it can be passed to the nodemaker
move create_mutable_file() into NodeMaker
test_dirnode.py: stop using FakeClient mockups, use NoNetworkGrid instead. This simplifies the code, but takes longer to run (17s instead of 6s). This should come down later when other cleanups make it possible to use simpler (non-RSA) fake mutable files for dirnode tests.
test_mutable.py: clean up basedir names
client.py: move create_empty_dirnode() into NodeMaker
dirnode.py: get rid of DirectoryNode.create
remove DirectoryNode.init_from_uri, refactor NodeMaker for customization, simplify test_web's mock Client to match
stop passing Client to DirectoryNode, make DirectoryNode.create_with_mutablefile the normal DirectoryNode constructor, start removing client from NodeMaker
remove Client from NodeMaker
move helper status into History, pass History to web.Status instead of Client
test_mutable.py: fix minor typo
This is probably the cause of the very rare "loss of progress" bug. This is tested by unit tests. A recent patch changed this to errback instead of losing progress, and now this patch is changing it again to return a short read instead of errbacking. Returning a short read is what the uploader (in encode.py) is expecting, when it is reading the last block of the ciphertext, which might be shorter than the other blocks.
This implements an immutable repairer by marrying a CiphertextDownloader to a CHKUploader. It extends the IDownloadTarget interface so that the downloader can provide some metadata that the uploader requires.
The processing is incremental -- it uploads the first segments before it finishes downloading the whole file. This is necessary so that you can repair large files without running out of RAM or using a temporary file on the repairer.
It requires only a verifycap, not a readcap. That is: it doesn't need or use the decryption key, only the integrity check codes.
There are several tests marked TODO and several instances of XXX in the source code. I intend to open tickets to document further improvements to functionality and testing, but the current version is probably good enough for Tahoe-1.3.0.
New checker and verifier use the new download class. They are robust against various sorts of failures or corruption. They return detailed results explaining what they learned about your immutable files. Some grotesque sorts of corruption are not properly handled yet, and those ones are marked as TODO or commented-out in the unit tests.
There is also a repairer module in this patch with the beginnings of a repairer in it. That repairer is mostly just the interface to the outside world -- the core operation of actually reconstructing the missing data blocks and uploading them is not in there yet.
This patch also refactors the unit tests in test_immutable so that the handling of each kind of corruption is reported as passing or failing separately, can be separately TODO'ified, etc. The unit tests are also improved in various ways to require more of the code under test or to stop requiring unreasonable things of it. :-)
