['*' means complete] Connection Management: Brian *v1: foolscap, no relay, live == connected-to-queen, broadcast updates, full mesh v2: live != connected-to-queen, connect on demand v3: relay? Encoding: Zooko *v1: fake it (replication), no merkle trees v2: mnet codec, Reed-Solomon? v3: merkle tree to verify each share v4: merkle tree to verify each segment Peer selection: *v1: permuted peer list, consistent hash filetable maintenance: *v1: queen-based tree of MutableDirectoryNodes, persisted to queen's disk no accounts v2: move tree to client side, serialize to a file, upload, queen.set_filetable_uri (still no accounts, just one global tree) v3: break world up into accounts, separate mutable spaces. Maybe implement SSKs checker/repairer: *v1: none v2: centralized checker, repair agent v3: nodes also check their own files storage: RobK *v1: no deletion, one directory per verifierid, one owner per share, leases never expire v2: multiple shares per verifierid [zooko] v2.5: deletion v2: leases expire, delete expired data on demand, multiple owners per share UI: (brian) webish? webfront? PB + CLI tool? FUSE? *v1: readonly webish (nevow, URLs are filepaths) *v2: read/write webish, mkdir, del (files) v2.5: del (directories) v3: PB+CLI tool v4: FUSE back pocket ideas: when nodes are unable to reach storage servers, make a note of it, inform queen eventually. queen then puts server under observation or otherwise looks for differences between their self-reported availability and the experiences of others store filetable URI in the first 10 peers that appear after your own nodeid each entry has a sequence number, maybe a timestamp on recovery, find the newest multiple categories of leases: committed leases -- we will not delete these in any case, but will instead tell an uploader that we are full active leases in-progress leases (partially filled, not closed, pb connection is currently open) uncommitted leases -- we will delete these in order to make room for new lease requests interrupted leases (partially filled, not closed, pb connection is currently not open, but they might come back) expired leases (I'm not sure about the precedence of these last two. Probably deleting expired leases instead of deleting interrupted leases would be okay.) big questions: convergence? peer list maintenance: lots of entries
