- Make some important utility functions clearer and more thoroughly
documented.
- Assert in upload.servers_of_happiness that the buckets attributes
of PeerTrackers passed to it are mutually disjoint.
- Get rid of some silly non-Pythonisms that I didn't see when I first
wrote these patches.
- Make sure that should_add_server returns true when queried about a
shnum that it doesn't know about yet.
- Change Tahoe2PeerSelector.preexisting_shares to map a shareid to a set
of peerids, alter dependencies to deal with that.
- Remove upload.should_add_servers, because it is no longer necessary
- Move upload.shares_of_happiness and upload.shares_by_server to a utility
file.
- Change some points in Tahoe2PeerSelector.
- Compute servers_of_happiness using a bipartite matching algorithm that
we know is optimal instead of an ad-hoc greedy algorithm that isn't.
- Change servers_of_happiness to just take a sharemap as an argument,
change its callers to merge existing_shares and used_peers before
calling it.
- Change an error message in the encoder to be more appropriate for
servers of happiness.
- Clarify the wording of an error message in immutable/upload.py
- Refactor a happiness failure message to happinessutil.py, and make
immutable/upload.py and immutable/encode.py use it.
- Move the word "only" as far to the right as possible in failure
messages.
- Use a better definition of progress during peer selection.
- Do read-only peer share detection queries in parallel, not sequentially.
- Clean up logging semantics; print the query statistics whenever an
upload is unsuccessful, not just in one case.
When I first implemented #778, I just altered the error messages to refer to
servers where they referred to shares. The resulting error messages weren't
very good. These are a bit better.
The Tahoe2PeerSelector returned either NoSharesError or NotEnoughSharesError
for a variety of error conditions that weren't informatively described by them.
This patch creates a new error, UploadHappinessError, replaces uses of
NoSharesError and NotEnoughSharesError with it, and alters the error message
raised with the errors to be more in line with the new servers_of_happiness
behavior. See ticket #834 for more information.
- Fix comments and confusing naming.
- Add tests for the new error messages suggested by David-Sarah
and Zooko.
- Alter existing tests for new error messages.
- Make sure that the tests continue to work with the trunk.
- Add a test for a mutual disjointedness assertion that I added to
upload.servers_of_happiness.
- Fix the comments to correctly reflect read-onlyness
- Add a test for an edge case in should_add_server
- Add an assertion to make sure that share redistribution works as it
should
- Alter tests to work with revised servers_of_happiness semantics
- Remove tests for should_add_server, since that function no longer exists.
- Alter tests to know about merge_peers, and to use it before calling
servers_of_happiness.
- Add tests for merge_peers.
- Add Zooko's puzzles to the tests.
- Edit encoding tests to expect the new kind of failure message.
- Edit tests to expect error messages with the word "only" moved as far
to the right as possible.
- Extended and cleaned up some helper functions.
- Changed some tests to call more appropriate helper functions.
- Added a test for the failing redistribution algorithm
- Added a test for the progress message
- Added a test for the upper bound on readonly peer share discovery.
This patch modifies the regular expression used for verifying of '--node-url'
parameter. Support for accessing a Tahoe gateway over HTTPS was already
present, thanks to Python's urllib.
This handles the case where we upload a new tahoe directory for a
previously-processed local directory, possibly creating a new dircap (if the
metadata had changed). Now we replace the old dirhash->dircap record. The
previous behavior left the old record in place (with the old dircap and
timestamps), so we'd never stop creating new directories and never converge
on a null backup.
These edits were suggested by my watching over Jake Appelbaum's shoulder as he completely ignored/skipped/missed install.html and also as he decided that debian.txt wouldn't help him with basic installation. Then I threw in a few docs edits that have been sitting around in my sandbox asking to be committed for months.
To test the changes for #577, we need a deterministic way to simulate
the passage of long periods of time. twisted.internet.task.Clock seems,
from my Googling, to be the way to go for this functionality. I changed
a few things so that OphandleTable would use twisted.internet.task.Clock
when testing:
* WebishServer.__init___ now takes an optional 'clock' parameter,
* which it passes to the root.Root instance it creates.
* root.Root.__init__ now takes an optional 'clock' parameter, which it
passes to the OphandleTable.__init__ method.
* OphandleTable.__init__ now takes an optional 'clock' parameter. If
it is provided, and it isn't None, its callLater method will be used
to schedule ophandle expirations (as opposed to using
reactor.callLater, which is what OphandleTable does normally).
* The WebMixin object in test_web.py now sets a self.clock parameter,
which is a twisted.internet.task.Clock that it feeds to the
WebishServer it creates.
Tests using the WebMixin can control the passage of time in
OphandleTable by accessing self.clock.
