It used to be a map from shnum to a string saying "placed this share on XYZ server". The new definition is more in keeping with the "sharemap" object that results from immutable file checking and repair, and it is more useful to the repairer, which is a consumer of immutable upload results.
Rename "downloadable" to "target".
Rename "u" to "v" in FileDownloader.__init__().
Rename "_uri" to "_verifycap" in FileDownloader.
Rename "_downloadable" to "_target" in FileDownloader.
Rename "FileDownloader" to "CiphertextDownloader".
FileDownloader takes a verify cap and produces ciphertext, instead of taking a read cap and producing plaintext.
FileDownloader does all integrity checking including the mandatory ciphertext hash tree and the optional ciphertext flat hash, rather than expecting its target to do some of that checking.
Rename immutable.download.Output to immutable.download.DecryptingOutput. An instance of DecryptingOutput can be passed to FileDownloader to use as the latter's target. Text pushed to the DecryptingOutput is decrypted and then pushed to *its* target.
DecryptingOutput satisfies the IConsumer interface, and if its target also satisfies IConsumer, then it forwards and pause/unpause signals to its producer (which is the FileDownloader).
This patch also changes some logging code to use the new logging mixin class.
Check integrity of a segment and decrypt the segment one block-sized buffer at a time instead of copying the buffers together into one segment-sized buffer (reduces peak memory usage, I think, and is probably a tad faster/less CPU, depending on your encoding parameters).
Refactor FileDownloader so that processing of segments and of tail-segment share as much code is possible.
FileDownloader and FileNode take caps as instances of URI (Python objects), not as strings.
This was somewhat sad; the assertion didn't say what path caused the
error, what went wrong. So... silently skip over things that are
neither dirs nor files.
pyflakes pointed out to me that I had committed some code that is untested, since it uses an undefined name. This patch exercises that code -- the validation of the ciphertext hash tree -- by corrupting some of the share files in a very specific way, and also fixes the bug.
Once again I inserted a bug into the code, and once again it was hidden by something catching arbitrary exception/failure and assuming that it means the server failed to provide valid data.
We were not making sure that we really got all the crypttext hashes during download. If a server were to return less than the complete set of crypttext hashes, then our subsequent attempt to verify the correctness of the ciphertext would fail. (And it wouldn't be obvious without very careful debugging why it had failed.)
This patch makes it so that you keep trying to get ciphertext hashes until you have a full set or you run out of servers to ask.
This makes Uploader take an EncryptedUploadable object instead of an Uploadable object. I also changed it to return a verify cap instead of a tuple of the bits of data that one finds in a verify cap.
This will facilitate hooking together an Uploader and a Downloader to make a Repairer.
Also move offloaded.py into src/allmydata/immutable/.
Maybe it already got one of the corrupted hashes from a different server and it doesn't double-check that the hash from every server is correct. Or another problem. But in any case I'm marking this as TODO because an even better (more picky) verifier is less urgent than repairer.
Brian noticed that the constant was wrong, and in fixing that I noticed that we should be saturating instead of modding.
This code would never matter unless a server downgraded or a share migrated from Tahoe >= v1.3.0 to Tahoe < v1.3.0. Even in that case, this bug would never matter unless the share size were exactly 4,294,967,296 bytes long.
Brian, for good reason, wanted this to be spelled "2**32" instead of "4294967296", but I couldn't stand to see a couple of more Python bytecodes interpreted in the middle of a core, frequent operation on the server like immutable share creation.
Because the unit tests on the VirtualZooko? buildslave failed when it took 31 seconds for a process to go away.
Perhaps getting warning message after only 5 seconds instead of 40 seconds is desirable, and we should change the unit tests and set this back to 5, but I don't know exactly how to change the unit tests. Perhaps match this particular warning message about the shutdown taking a while and allow the code under test to pass if the only stderr that it emits is this warning.
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. :-)
The code for validating the share hash tree and the block hash tree has been rewritten to make sure it handles all cases, to share metadata about the file (such as the share hash tree, block hash trees, and UEB) among different share downloads, and not to require hashes to be stored on the server unnecessarily, such as the roots of the block hash trees (not needed since they are also the leaves of the share hash tree), and the root of the share hash tree (not needed since it is also included in the UEB). It also passes the latest tests including handling corrupted shares well.
ValidatedReadBucketProxy takes a share_hash_tree argument to its constructor, which is a reference to a share hash tree shared by all ValidatedReadBucketProxies for that immutable file download.
ValidatedReadBucketProxy requires the block_size and share_size to be provided in its constructor, and it then uses those to compute the offsets and lengths of blocks when it needs them, instead of reading those values out of the share. The user of ValidatedReadBucketProxy therefore has to have first used a ValidatedExtendedURIProxy to compute those two values from the validated contents of the URI. This is pleasingly simplifies safety analysis: the client knows which span of bytes corresponds to a given block from the validated URI data, rather than from the unvalidated data stored on the storage server. It also simplifies unit testing of verifier/repairer, because now it doesn't care about the contents of the "share size" and "block size" fields in the share. It does not relieve the need for share data v2 layout, because we still need to store and retrieve the offsets of the fields which come after the share data, therefore we still need to use share data v2 with its 8-byte fields if we want to store share data larger than about 2^32.
Specify which subset of the block hashes and share hashes you need while downloading a particular share. In the future this will hopefully be used to fetch only a subset, for network efficiency, but currently all of them are fetched, regardless of which subset you specify.
ReadBucketProxy hides the question of whether it has "started" or not (sent a request to the server to get metadata) from its user.
Download is optimized to do as few roundtrips and as few requests as possible, hopefully speeding up download a bit.
