#!/usr/bin/env python

"""
Given a list of nodeids and a 'convergence' file, create a bunch of files
that will (when encoded at k=1,N=1) be uploaded to specific nodeids.

Run this as follows:

 make-canary-files.py -c PATH/TO/convergence -n PATH/TO/nodeids -k 1 -N 1

It will create a directory named 'canaries', with one file per nodeid named
'$NODEID-$NICKNAME.txt', that contains some random text.

The 'nodeids' file should contain one base32 nodeid per line, followed by the
optional nickname, like:

---
5yyqu2hbvbh3rgtsgxrmmg4g77b6p3yo  server12
vb7vm2mneyid5jbyvcbk2wb5icdhwtun  server13
...
---

The resulting 'canaries/5yyqu2hbvbh3rgtsgxrmmg4g77b6p3yo-server12.txt' file
will, when uploaded with the given (convergence,k,N) pair, have its first
share placed on the 5yyq/server12 storage server. If N>1, the other shares
will be placed elsewhere, of course.

This tool can be useful to construct a set of 'canary' files, which can then
be uploaded to storage servers, and later downloaded to test a grid's health.
If you are able to download the canary for server12 via some tahoe node X,
then the following properties are known to be true:

 node X is running, and has established a connection to server12
 server12 is running, and returning data for at least the given file

Using k=1/N=1 creates a separate test for each server. The test process is
then to download the whole directory of files (perhaps with a t=deep-check
operation).

Alternatively, you could upload with the usual k=3/N=10 and then move/delete
shares to put all N shares on a single server.

Note that any changes to the nodeid list will affect the placement of shares.
Shares should be uploaded with the same nodeid list as this tool used when
constructing the files.

Also note that this tool uses the Tahoe codebase, so it should be run on a
system where Tahoe is installed, or in a source tree with setup.py like this:

 setup.py run_with_pythonpath -p -c 'misc/make-canary-files.py ARGS..'
