ACLs¶

swift.common.middleware.acl.acls_from_account_info(info)¶

Extract the account ACLs from the given account_info, and return the ACLs.

Parameters:: info – a dict of the form returned by get_account_info
Returns:: None (no ACL system metadata is set), or a dict of the form:: {‘admin’: […], ‘read-write’: […], ‘read-only’: […]}
Raises:: ValueError – on a syntactically invalid header

swift.common.middleware.acl.clean_acl(name, value)¶

Returns a cleaned ACL header value, validating that it meets the formatting requirements for standard Swift ACL strings.

The ACL format is:

[item[,item...]]

Each item can be a group name to give access to or a referrer designation to grant or deny based on the HTTP Referer header.

The referrer designation format is:

.r:[-]value

The .r can also be .ref, .referer, or .referrer; though it will be shortened to just .r for decreased character count usage.

The value can be * to specify any referrer host is allowed access, a specific host name like www.example.com, or if it has a leading period . or leading *. it is a domain name specification, like .example.com or *.example.com. The leading minus sign - indicates referrer hosts that should be denied access.

Referrer access is applied in the order they are specified. For example, .r:.example.com,.r:-thief.example.com would allow all hosts ending with .example.com except for the specific host thief.example.com.

Example valid ACLs:

.r:*
.r:*,.r:-.thief.com
.r:*,.r:.example.com,.r:-thief.example.com
.r:*,.r:-.thief.com,bobs_account,sues_account:sue
bobs_account,sues_account:sue

Example invalid ACLs:

.r:
.r:-

By default, allowing read access via .r will not allow listing objects in the container – just retrieving objects from the container. To turn on listings, use the .rlistings directive.

Also, .r designations aren’t allowed in headers whose names include the word ‘write’.

ACLs that are “messy” will be cleaned up. Examples:

Original	Cleaned
`bob, sue`	`bob,sue`
`bob , sue`	`bob,sue`
`bob,,,sue`	`bob,sue`
`.referrer : *`	`.r:*`
`.ref:*.example.com`	`.r:.example.com`
`.r:*, .rlistings`	`.r:*,.rlistings`

Parameters:

name – The name of the header being cleaned, such as X-Container-Read or X-Container-Write.
value – The value of the header being cleaned.

Returns:

The value, cleaned of extraneous formatting.

Raises:

ValueError – If the value does not meet the ACL formatting requirements; the error message will indicate why.

swift.common.middleware.acl.format_acl(version=1, **kwargs)¶

Compatibility wrapper to help migrate ACL syntax from version 1 to 2. Delegates to the appropriate version-specific format_acl method, defaulting to version 1 for backward compatibility.

Parameters:: kwargs – keyword args appropriate for the selected ACL syntax version (see format_acl_v1() or format_acl_v2())

swift.common.middleware.acl.format_acl_v1(groups=None, referrers=None, header_name=None)¶

Returns a standard Swift ACL string for the given inputs.

Caller is responsible for ensuring that :referrers: parameter is only given if the ACL is being generated for X-Container-Read. (X-Container-Write and the account ACL headers don’t support referrers.)

Parameters:

groups – a list of groups (and/or members in most auth systems) to grant access
referrers – a list of referrer designations (without the leading .r:)
header_name – (optional) header name of the ACL we’re preparing, for clean_acl; if None, returned ACL won’t be cleaned

Returns:

a Swift ACL string for use in X-Container-{Read,Write}, X-Account-Access-Control, etc.

swift.common.middleware.acl.format_acl_v2(acl_dict)¶

Returns a version-2 Swift ACL JSON string.

HTTP headers for Version 2 ACLs have the following form:: Header-Name: {“arbitrary”:”json”,”encoded”:”string”}

JSON will be forced ASCII (containing six-char uNNNN sequences rather than UTF-8; UTF-8 is valid JSON but clients vary in their support for UTF-8 headers), and without extraneous whitespace.

Advantages over V1: forward compatibility (new keys don’t cause parsing exceptions); Unicode support; no reserved words (you can have a user named .rlistings if you want).

Parameters:: acl_dict – dict of arbitrary data to put in the ACL; see specific auth systems such as tempauth for supported values
Returns:: a JSON string which encodes the ACL

swift.common.middleware.acl.parse_acl(*args, **kwargs)¶

Compatibility wrapper to help migrate ACL syntax from version 1 to 2. Delegates to the appropriate version-specific parse_acl method, attempting to determine the version from the types of args/kwargs.

Parameters:

args – positional args for the selected ACL syntax version
kwargs – keyword args for the selected ACL syntax version (see parse_acl_v1() or parse_acl_v2())

Returns:

the return value of parse_acl_v1() or parse_acl_v2()

swift.common.middleware.acl.parse_acl_v1(acl_string)¶

Parses a standard Swift ACL string into a referrers list and groups list.

See clean_acl() for documentation of the standard Swift ACL format.

Parameters:: acl_string – The standard Swift ACL string to parse.
Returns:: A tuple of (referrers, groups) where referrers is a list of referrer designations (without the leading .r:) and groups is a list of groups to allow access.

swift.common.middleware.acl.parse_acl_v2(data)¶

Parses a version-2 Swift ACL string and returns a dict of ACL info.

Parameters:: data – string containing the ACL data in JSON format
Returns:: A dict (possibly empty) containing ACL info, e.g.: {“groups”: […], “referrers”: […]}
Returns:: None if data is None, is not valid JSON or does not parse as a dict
Returns:: empty dictionary if data is an empty string

swift.common.middleware.acl.referrer_allowed(referrer, referrer_acl)¶

Returns True if the referrer should be allowed based on the referrer_acl list (as returned by parse_acl()).

See clean_acl() for documentation of the standard Swift ACL format.

Parameters:

referrer – The value of the HTTP Referer header.
referrer_acl – The list of referrer designations as returned by parse_acl().

Returns:

True if the referrer should be allowed; False if not.

Buffered HTTP¶

Monkey Patch httplib.HTTPResponse to buffer reads of headers. This can improve performance when making large numbers of small HTTP requests. This module also provides helper functions to make HTTP connections using BufferedHTTPResponse.

Warning

If you use this, be sure that the libraries you are using do not access the socket directly (xmlrpclib, I’m looking at you :/), and instead make all calls through httplib.

class swift.common.bufferedhttp.BufferedHTTPConnection(host, port=None, timeout=<object object>, source_address=None)¶

Bases: HTTPConnection

HTTPConnection class that uses BufferedHTTPResponse

connect()¶: Connect to the host and port specified in __init__.

getresponse()¶

Get the response from the server.

If the HTTPConnection is in the correct state, returns an instance of HTTPResponse or of whatever object is returned by the response_class variable.

If a request has not been sent or if a previous response has not be handled, ResponseNotReady is raised. If the HTTP response indicates that the connection should be closed, then it will be closed before the response is returned. When the connection is closed, the underlying socket is closed.

putheader(header, value)¶

Send a request header line to the server.

For example: h.putheader(‘Accept’, ‘text/html’)

putrequest(method, url, skip_host=0, skip_accept_encoding=0)¶

Send a request to the server.

Parameters:

method – specifies an HTTP request method, e.g. ‘GET’.
url – specifies the object being requested, e.g. ‘/index.html’.
skip_host – if True does not add automatically a ‘Host:’ header
skip_accept_encoding – if True does not add automatically an ‘Accept-Encoding:’ header

response_class¶: alias of BufferedHTTPResponse

class swift.common.bufferedhttp.BufferedHTTPResponse(sock, debuglevel=0, strict=0, method=None)¶

Bases: HTTPResponse

HTTPResponse class that buffers reading of headers

close()¶

Flush and close the IO object.

This method has no effect if the file is already closed.

nuke_from_orbit()¶

Terminate the socket with extreme prejudice.

Closes the underlying socket regardless of whether or not anyone else has references to it. Use this when you are certain that nobody else you care about has a reference to this socket.

read(amt=None)¶

Read and return up to n bytes.

If the argument is omitted, None, or negative, reads and returns all data until EOF.

If the argument is positive, and the underlying raw stream is not ‘interactive’, multiple raw reads may be issued to satisfy the byte count (unless EOF is reached first). But for interactive raw streams (as well as sockets and pipes), at most one raw read will be issued, and a short result does not imply that EOF is imminent.

Returns an empty bytes object on EOF.

Returns None if the underlying raw stream was open in non-blocking mode and no data is available at the moment.

readline(size=1024)¶

Read and return a line from the stream.

If size is specified, at most size bytes will be read.

The line terminator is always b’n’ for binary files; for text files, the newlines argument to open can be used to select the line terminator(s) recognized.

swift.common.bufferedhttp.http_connect(ipaddr, port, device, partition, method, path, headers=None, query_string=None, ssl=False)¶

MemCacheD¶

Why our own memcache client? By Michael Barton

python-memcached doesn’t use consistent hashing, so adding or removing a memcache server from the pool invalidates a huge percentage of cached items.

If you keep a pool of python-memcached client objects, each client object has its own connection to every memcached server, only one of which is ever in use. So you wind up with n * m open sockets and almost all of them idle. This client effectively has a pool for each server, so the number of backend connections is hopefully greatly reduced.

python-memcache uses pickle to store things, and there was already a huge stink about Swift using pickles in memcache (http://osvdb.org/show/osvdb/86581). That seemed sort of unfair, since nova and keystone and everyone else use pickles for memcache too, but it’s hidden behind a “standard” library. But changing would be a security regression at this point.

Also, pylibmc wouldn’t work for us because it needs to use python sockets in order to play nice with eventlet.

Lucid comes with memcached: v1.4.2. Protocol documentation for that version is at:

http://github.com/memcached/memcached/blob/1.4.2/doc/protocol.txt

class swift.common.memcached.MemcacheCommand(method, key)¶

Bases: object

Helper class that encapsulates common parameters of a command.

Parameters:

method – the name of the MemcacheRing method that was called.
key – the memcached key.

class swift.common.memcached.MemcacheConnPool(server, size, connect_timeout, tls_context=None)¶

Bases: Pool

Connection pool for Memcache Connections

The server parameter can be a hostname, an IPv4 address, or an IPv6 address with an optional port. See swift.common.utils.parse_socket_string() for details.

create()¶

Generate a new pool item. In order for the pool to function, either this method must be overriden in a subclass or the pool must be constructed with the create argument. It accepts no arguments and returns a single instance of whatever thing the pool is supposed to contain.

In general, create() is called whenever the pool exceeds its previous high-water mark of concurrently-checked-out-items. In other words, in a new pool with min_size of 0, the very first call to get() will result in a call to create(). If the first caller calls put() before some other caller calls get(), then the first item will be returned, and create() will not be called a second time.

get()¶: Return an item from the pool, when one is available. This may cause the calling greenthread to block.

exception swift.common.memcached.MemcacheConnectionError¶: Bases: Exception

Parameters:

key – key
delta – amount to subtract to the value of key (or set the value to 0 if the key is not found) will be cast to an int
time – the time to live

Returns:

result of decrementing

Raises:

MemcacheConnectionError –

delete(key, server_key=None)¶

Deletes a key/value pair from memcache.

Parameters:

key – key to be deleted
server_key – key to use in determining which server in the ring is used

get(key, raise_on_error=False)¶

Gets the object specified by key. It will also unserialize the object before returning if it is serialized in memcache with JSON.

Parameters:

key – key
raise_on_error – if True, propagate Timeouts and other errors. By default, errors are treated as cache misses.

Returns:

value of the key in memcache

get_multi(keys, server_key)¶

Gets multiple values from memcache for the given keys.

Parameters:

keys – keys for values to be retrieved from memcache
server_key – key to use in determining which server in the ring is used

Returns:

list of values

incr(key, delta=1, time=0)¶

Increments a key which has a numeric value by delta. If the key can’t be found, it’s added as delta or 0 if delta < 0. If passed a negative number, will use memcached’s decr. Returns the int stored in memcached Note: The data memcached stores as the result of incr/decr is an unsigned int. decr’s that result in a number below 0 are stored as 0.

Parameters:

key – key
delta – amount to add to the value of key (or set as the value if the key is not found) will be cast to an int
time – the time to live

Returns:

result of incrementing

Raises:

MemcacheConnectionError –

set(key, value, serialize=True, time=0, min_compress_len=0, raise_on_error=False)¶

Set a key/value pair in memcache

Parameters:

key – key
value – value
serialize – if True, value is serialized with JSON before sending to memcache
time – the time to live
min_compress_len – minimum compress length, this parameter was added to keep the signature compatible with python-memcached interface. This implementation ignores it.
raise_on_error – if True, propagate Timeouts and other errors. By default, errors are ignored.

set_multi(mapping, server_key, serialize=True, time=0, min_compress_len=0)¶

Sets multiple key/value pairs in memcache.

Parameters:

mapping – dictionary of keys and values to be set in memcache
server_key – key to use in determining which server in the ring is used
serialize – if True, value is serialized with JSON before sending to memcache.
time – the time to live

Min_compress_len:

minimum compress length, this parameter was added to keep the signature compatible with python-memcached interface. This implementation ignores it

swift.common.memcached.load_memcache(conf, logger)¶

Parameters:

conf – a dict, the config options
logger – a logger

swift.common.memcached.sanitize_timeout(timeout)¶: Sanitize a timeout value to use an absolute expiration time if the delta is greater than 30 days (in seconds). Note that the memcached server translates negative values to mean a delta of 30 days in seconds (and 1 additional second), client beware.

Parameters:: query_param – The (case-sensitive) query parameter name which, if present, may contain sensitive information. Examples include temp_url_signature and (if s3api is enabled) X-Amz-Signature. Limited to ASCII characters.

swift.common.registry.register_swift_info(name='swift', admin=False, **kwargs)¶

Registers information about the swift cluster to be retrieved with calls to get_swift_info.

NOTE: Do not use “.” in the param: name or any keys in kwargs. “.” is used: in the disallowed_sections to remove unwanted keys from /info.

Parameters:

name – string, the section name to place the information under.
admin – boolean, if True, information will be registered to an admin section which can optionally be withheld when requesting the information.
kwargs – key value arguments representing the information to be added.

Raises:

ValueError – if name or any of the keys in kwargs has “.” in it

Request Helpers¶

Miscellaneous utility functions for use in generating responses.

Why not swift.common.utils, you ask? Because this way we can import things from swob in here without creating circular imports.

class swift.common.request_helpers.SegmentedIterable(req, app, listing_iter, max_get_time, logger, ua_suffix, swift_source, name='<not specified>', response_body_length=None)¶

Bases: object

Iterable that returns the object contents for a large object.

Parameters:

req – original request object
app – WSGI application from which segments will come
listing_iter –
iterable yielding the object segments to fetch, along with the byte sub-ranges to fetch. Each yielded item should be a dict with the following keys: path or raw_data, first-byte, last-byte, hash (optional), bytes (optional).

If hash is None, no MD5 verification will be done.

If bytes is None, no length verification will be done.

If first-byte and last-byte are None, then the entire object will be fetched.
max_get_time – maximum permitted duration of a GET request (seconds)
logger – logger object
swift_source – value of swift.source in subrequest environ (just for logging)
ua_suffix – string to append to user-agent.
name – name of manifest (used in logging only)
response_body_length – optional response body length for the response being sent to the client.

app_iter_range(*a, **kw)¶

swob.Response will only respond with a 206 status in certain cases; one of those is if the body iterator responds to .app_iter_range().

However, this object (or really, its listing iter) is smart enough to handle the range stuff internally, so we just no-op this out for swob.

app_iter_ranges(ranges, content_type, boundary, content_size)¶

This method assumes that iter(self) yields all the data bytes that go into the response, but none of the MIME stuff. For example, if the response will contain three MIME docs with data “abcd”, “efgh”, and “ijkl”, then iter(self) will give out the bytes “abcdefghijkl”.

This method inserts the MIME stuff around the data bytes.

close()¶: Called when the client disconnect. Ensure that the connection to the backend server is closed.

validate_first_segment()¶

Start fetching object data to ensure that the first segment (if any) is valid. This is to catch cases like “first segment is missing” or “first segment’s etag doesn’t match manifest”.

Note: this does not validate that you have any segments. A zero-segment large object is not erroneous; it is just empty.

swift.common.request_helpers.check_path_header(req, name, length, error_msg)¶

Validate that the value of path-like header is well formatted. We assume the caller ensures that specific header is present in req.headers.

Parameters:

req – HTTP request object
name – header name
length – length of path segment check
error_msg – error message for client

Returns:

A tuple with path parts according to length

Raise:

HTTPPreconditionFailed if header value is not well formatted.

swift.common.request_helpers.constrain_req_limit(req, constrained_limit)¶

swift.common.request_helpers.copy_header_subset(from_r, to_r, condition)¶

Will copy desired subset of headers from from_r to to_r.

Parameters:

from_r – a swob Request or Response
to_r – a swob Request or Response
condition – a function that will be passed the header key as a single argument and should return True if the header is to be copied.

swift.common.request_helpers.get_container_update_override_key(key)¶

Returns the full X-Object-Sysmeta-Container-Update-Override-* header key.

Parameters:: key – the key you want to override in the container update
Returns:: the full header key

swift.common.request_helpers.get_ip_port(node, headers)¶

Get the ip address and port that should be used for the given node. The normal ip address and port are returned unless the node or headers indicate that the replication ip address and port should be used.

If the headers dict has an item with key x-backend-use-replication-network and a truthy value then the replication ip address and port are returned. Otherwise if the node dict has an item with key use_replication and truthy value then the replication ip address and port are returned. Otherwise the normal ip address and port are returned.

Parameters:

node – a dict describing a node
headers – a dict of headers

Returns:

a tuple of (ip address, port)

swift.common.request_helpers.get_name_and_placement(request, minsegs=1, maxsegs=None, rest_with_last=False)¶

Utility function to split and validate the request path and storage policy. The storage policy index is extracted from the headers of the request and converted to a StoragePolicy instance. The remaining args are passed through to split_and_validate_path().

Returns:: a list, result of split_and_validate_path() with the BaseStoragePolicy instance appended on the end
Raises:: HTTPServiceUnavailable – if the path is invalid or no policy exists with the extracted policy_index.

swift.common.request_helpers.get_object_transient_sysmeta(key)¶

Returns the Object Transient System Metadata header for key. The Object Transient System Metadata namespace will be persisted by backend object servers. These headers are treated in the same way as object user metadata i.e. all headers in this namespace will be replaced on every POST request.

Parameters:: key – metadata key
Returns:: the entire object transient system metadata header for key

swift.common.request_helpers.get_param(req, name, default=None)¶

Get a parameter from an HTTP request ensuring proper handling UTF-8 encoding.

Parameters:

req – request object
name – parameter name
default – result to return if the parameter is not found

Returns:

HTTP request parameter value, as a native string (in py2, as UTF-8 encoded str, not unicode object)

Raises:

HTTPBadRequest – if param not valid UTF-8 byte sequence

swift.common.request_helpers.get_reserved_name(*parts)¶

Generate a valid reserved name that joins the component parts.

Returns:: a string

swift.common.request_helpers.get_sys_meta_prefix(server_type)¶

Returns the prefix for system metadata headers for given server type.

This prefix defines the namespace for headers that will be persisted by backend servers.

Parameters:: server_type – type of backend server i.e. [account|container|object]
Returns:: prefix string for server type’s user metadata headers

swift.common.request_helpers.http_response_to_document_iters(response, read_chunk_size=4096)¶

Takes a successful object-GET HTTP response and turns it into an iterator of (first-byte, last-byte, length, headers, body-file) 5-tuples.

The response must either be a 200 or a 206; if you feed in a 204 or something similar, this probably won’t work.

Parameters:: response – HTTP response, like from bufferedhttp.http_connect(), not a swob.Response.

swift.common.request_helpers.is_object_transient_sysmeta(key)¶

Tests if a header key starts with and is longer than the prefix for object transient system metadata.

Parameters:: key – header key
Returns:: True if the key satisfies the test, False otherwise

swift.common.request_helpers.is_sys_meta(server_type, key)¶

key – header key

Returns:

True if the key satisfies the test, False otherwise

swift.common.request_helpers.is_sys_or_user_meta(server_type, key)¶

Tests if a header key starts with and is longer than the user or system metadata prefix for given server type.

Parameters:

server_type – type of backend server i.e. [account|container|object]
key – header key

Returns:

True if the key satisfies the test, False otherwise

swift.common.request_helpers.is_use_replication_network(headers=None)¶

Determine if replication network should be used.

Parameters:: headers – a dict of headers
Returns:: the value of the x-backend-use-replication-network item from headers. If no headers are given or the item is not found then False is returned.

swift.common.request_helpers.is_user_meta(server_type, key)¶

Tests if a header key starts with and is longer than the user metadata prefix for given server type.

Parameters:

server_type – type of backend server i.e. [account|container|object]
key – header key

Returns:

True if the key satisfies the test, False otherwise

swift.common.request_helpers.remove_items(headers, condition)¶

Removes items from a dict whose keys satisfy the given condition.

Parameters:

headers – a dict of headers
condition – a function that will be passed the header key as a single argument and should return True if the header is to be removed.

Returns:

a dict, possibly empty, of headers that have been removed

swift.common.request_helpers.resolve_etag_is_at_header(req, metadata)¶

Helper function to resolve an alternative etag value that may be stored in metadata under an alternate name.

The value of the request’s X-Backend-Etag-Is-At header (if it exists) is a comma separated list of alternate names in the metadata at which an alternate etag value may be found. This list is processed in order until an alternate etag is found.

The left most value in X-Backend-Etag-Is-At will have been set by the left most middleware, or if no middleware, by ECObjectController, if an EC policy is in use. The left most middleware is assumed to be the authority on what the etag value of the object content is.

The resolver will work from left to right in the list until it finds a value that is a name in the given metadata. So the left most wins, IF it exists in the metadata.

By way of example, assume the encrypter middleware is installed. If an object is not encrypted then the resolver will not find the encrypter middleware’s alternate etag sysmeta (X-Object-Sysmeta-Crypto-Etag) but will then find the EC alternate etag (if EC policy). But if the object is encrypted then X-Object-Sysmeta-Crypto-Etag is found and used, which is correct because it should be preferred over X-Object-Sysmeta-Ec-Etag.

Parameters:

req – a swob Request
metadata – a dict containing object metadata

Returns:

an alternate etag value if any is found, otherwise None

swift.common.request_helpers.resolve_ignore_range_header(req, metadata)¶

Helper function to remove Range header from request if metadata matching the X-Backend-Ignore-Range-If-Metadata-Present header is found.

Parameters:

req – a swob Request
metadata – dictionary of object metadata

swift.common.request_helpers.split_and_validate_path(request, minsegs=1, maxsegs=None, rest_with_last=False)¶

Utility function to split and validate the request path.

Returns:: result of split_path() if everything’s okay, as native strings
Raises:: HTTPBadRequest – if something’s not okay

swift.common.request_helpers.split_reserved_name(name)¶

Separate a valid reserved name into the component parts.

Returns:: a list of strings

swift.common.request_helpers.strip_object_transient_sysmeta_prefix(key)¶

Removes the object transient system metadata prefix from the start of a header key.

Parameters:: key – header key
Returns:: stripped header key

swift.common.request_helpers.strip_sys_meta_prefix(server_type, key)¶

Removes the system metadata prefix for a given server type from the start of a header key.

swift.common.request_helpers.strip_user_meta_prefix(server_type, key)¶

Removes the user metadata prefix for a given server type from the start of a header key.

Parameters:

server_type – type of backend server i.e. [account|container|object]
key – header key

Returns:

stripped header key

swift.common.request_helpers.update_etag_is_at_header(req, name)¶

Helper function to update an X-Backend-Etag-Is-At header whose value is a list of alternative header names at which the actual object etag may be found. This informs the object server where to look for the actual object etag when processing conditional requests.

Since the proxy server and/or middleware may set alternative etag header names, the value of X-Backend-Etag-Is-At is a comma separated list which the object server inspects in order until it finds an etag value.

Parameters:

req – a swob Request
name – name of a sysmeta where alternative etag may be found

swift.common.request_helpers.update_ignore_range_header(req, name)¶

Helper function to update an X-Backend-Ignore-Range-If-Metadata-Present header whose value is a list of header names which, if any are present on an object, mean the object server should respond with a 200 instead of a 206 or 416.

Parameters:

req – a swob Request
name – name of a header which, if found, indicates the proxy will want the whole object

swift.common.request_helpers.validate_container_params(req)¶

swift.common.request_helpers.validate_internal_account(account)¶

Validate internal account name.

Raises:: HTTPBadRequest

swift.common.request_helpers.validate_internal_container(account, container)¶

Raises:: HTTPBadRequest

swift.common.request_helpers.validate_internal_obj(account, container, obj)¶

Validate internal account, container and object names.

swift.common.request_helpers.validate_params(req, names)¶

Get list of parameters from an HTTP request, validating the encoding of each parameter.

Parameters:

req – request object
names – parameter names

Returns:

a dict mapping parameter names to values for each name that appears in the request parameters

Raises:

HTTPBadRequest – if any parameter value is not a valid UTF-8 byte sequence

Swob¶

Implementation of WSGI Request and Response objects.

This library has a very similar API to Webob. It wraps WSGI request environments and response values into objects that are more friendly to interact with.

Why Swob and not just use WebOb? By Michael Barton

We used webob for years. The main problem was that the interface wasn’t stable. For a while, each of our several test suites required a slightly different version of webob to run, and none of them worked with the then-current version. It was a huge headache, so we just scrapped it.

This is kind of a ton of code, but it’s also been a huge relief to not have to scramble to add a bunch of code branches all over the place to keep Swift working every time webob decides some interface needs to change.

class swift.common.swob.Accept(headerval)¶

Bases: object

Wraps a Request’s Accept header as a friendly object.

Parameters:: headerval – value of the header as a str

best_match(options)¶

Returns the item from “options” that best matches the accept header. Returns None if no available options are acceptable to the client.

Parameters:: options – a list of content-types the server can respond with
Raises:: ValueError – if the header is malformed

exception swift.common.swob.HTTPException(*args, **kwargs)¶: Bases: Response, Exception

class swift.common.swob.HeaderEnvironProxy(environ)¶

Bases: MutableMapping

A dict-like object that proxies requests to a wsgi environ, rewriting header keys to environ keys.

For example, headers[‘Content-Range’] sets and gets the value of headers.environ[‘HTTP_CONTENT_RANGE’]

keys() → a set-like object providing a view on D's keys¶

class swift.common.swob.Match(headerval)¶

Bases: object

Wraps a Request’s If-[None-]Match header as a friendly object.

Parameters:: headerval – value of the header as a str

class swift.common.swob.Range(headerval)¶

Bases: object

Wraps a Request’s Range header as a friendly object. After initialization, “range.ranges” is populated with a list of (start, end) tuples denoting the requested ranges.

If there were any syntactically-invalid byte-range-spec values, the constructor will raise a ValueError, per the relevant RFC:

“The recipient of a byte-range-set that includes one or more syntactically invalid byte-range-spec values MUST ignore the header field that includes that byte-range-set.”

According to the RFC 2616 specification, the following cases will be all considered as syntactically invalid, thus, a ValueError is thrown so that the range header will be ignored. If the range value contains at least one of the following cases, the entire range is considered invalid, ValueError will be thrown so that the header will be ignored.

value not starts with bytes=
range value start is greater than the end, eg. bytes=5-3
range does not have start or end, eg. bytes=-
range does not have hyphen, eg. bytes=45
range value is non numeric
any combination of the above

Every syntactically valid range will be added into the ranges list even when some of the ranges may not be satisfied by underlying content.

Parameters:: headerval – value of the header as a str

ranges_for_length(length)¶

This method is used to return multiple ranges for a given length which should represent the length of the underlying content. The constructor method __init__ made sure that any range in ranges list is syntactically valid. So if length is None or size of the ranges is zero, then the Range header should be ignored which will eventually make the response to be 200.

If an empty list is returned by this method, it indicates that there are unsatisfiable ranges found in the Range header, 416 will be returned.

if a returned list has at least one element, the list indicates that there is at least one range valid and the server should serve the request with a 206 status code.

The start value of each range represents the starting position in the content, the end value represents the ending position. This method purposely adds 1 to the end number because the spec defines the Range to be inclusive.

The Range spec can be found at the following link: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.35.1

Parameters:: length – length of the underlying content

Examples:

['a'] = split_path('/a')
['a', None] = split_path('/a', 1, 2)
['a', 'c'] = split_path('/a/c', 1, 2)
['a', 'c', 'o/r'] = split_path('/a/c/o/r', 1, 3, True)

Parameters:

minsegs – Minimum number of segments to be extracted
maxsegs – Maximum number of segments to be extracted
rest_with_last – If True, trailing data will be returned as part of last segment. If False, and there is trailing data, raises ValueError.

Returns:

Raises:

ValueError – if given an invalid path

property str_params¶: Provides QUERY_STRING parameters as a dictionary

property swift_entity_path¶

property user_agent¶: Get and set the HTTP_USER_AGENT property in the WSGI environment

class swift.common.swob.Response(body=None, status=200, headers=None, app_iter=None, request=None, conditional_response=False, conditional_etag=None, **kw)¶

Bases: object

WSGI Response object.

__call__(env, start_response)¶: Respond to the WSGI request.

Warning

This will translate any relative Location header value to an absolute URL using the WSGI environment’s HOST_URL as a prefix, as RFC 2616 specifies.

However, it is quite common to use relative redirects, especially when it is difficult to know the exact HOST_URL the browser would have used when behind several CNAMEs, CDN services, etc. All modern browsers support relative redirects.

To skip over RFC enforcement of the Location header value, you may set env['swift.leave_relative_location'] = True in the WSGI environment.

absolute_location()¶: Attempt to construct an absolute location.

property accept_ranges¶: Retrieve and set the accept-ranges header

property app_iter¶: Retrieve and set the response app_iter

property body¶: Retrieve and set the Response body str

property charset¶: Retrieve and set the response charset

property conditional_etag¶

The conditional_etag keyword argument for Response will allow the conditional match value of a If-Match request to be compared to a non-standard value.

This is available for Storage Policies that do not store the client object data verbatim on the storage nodes, but still need support conditional requests.

It’s most effectively used with X-Backend-Etag-Is-At which would define the additional Metadata key(s) where the original ETag of the clear-form client request data may be found.

property content_length¶: Retrieve and set the content-length header as an int

property content_range¶: Retrieve and set the content-range header

property content_type¶: Retrieve and set the response Content-Type header

property etag¶: Retrieve and set the response Etag header

fix_conditional_response()¶

You may call this once you have set the content_length to the whole object length and body or app_iter to reset the content_length properties on the request.

It is ok to not call this method, the conditional response will be maintained for you when you __call__ the response.

property host_url¶: Get url for request/response up to path

property last_modified¶: Retrieve and set the last-modified header as a datetime, set it with a datetime, int, or str

property location¶: Retrieve and set the location header

property status¶: Retrieve and set the Response status, e.g. ‘200 OK’

www_authenticate()¶

Construct a suitable value for WWW-Authenticate response header

If we have a request and a valid-looking path, the realm is the account; otherwise we set it to ‘unknown’.

class swift.common.swob.StatusMap¶

Bases: object

A dict-like object that returns HTTPException subclasses/factory functions where the given key is the status code.

class swift.common.swob.WsgiBytesIO(initial_bytes=b'')¶

Bases: BytesIO

This class adds support for the additional wsgi.input methods defined on eventlet.wsgi.Input to the BytesIO class which would otherwise be a fine stand-in for the file-like object in the WSGI environment.

swift.common.swob.wsgify(func)¶: A decorator for translating functions which take a swob Request object and return a Response object into WSGI callables. Also catches any raised HTTPExceptions and treats them as a returned Response.

Utils¶

Miscellaneous utility functions for use with Swift.

swift.common.utils.ATTRIBUTES_RE = re.compile('(\\w+)=(".*?"|[^";]+)(; ?|$)')¶: Regular expression to match form attributes.

class swift.common.utils.CloseableChain(*iterables)¶

Bases: ClosingIterator

Like itertools.chain, but with a close method that will attempt to invoke its sub-iterators’ close methods, if any.

class swift.common.utils.ClosingIterator(iterable, other_closeables=None)¶

Bases: object

Wrap another iterator and close it, if possible, on completion/exception.

If other closeable objects are given then they will also be closed when this iterator is closed.

This is particularly useful for ensuring a generator properly closes its resources, even if the generator was never started.

This class may be subclassed to override the behavior of _get_next_item.

Parameters:

iterable – iterator to wrap.
other_closeables – other resources to attempt to close.

class swift.common.utils.ContextPool(size=1000)¶

Bases: GreenPool

GreenPool subclassed to kill its coros when it gets gc’ed

class swift.common.utils.CooperativeIterator(iterable, period=5)¶

Bases: ClosingIterator

Wrapper to make a deliberate periodic call to sleep() while iterating over wrapped iterator, providing an opportunity to switch greenthreads.

This is for fairness; if the network is outpacing the CPU, we’ll always be able to read and write data without encountering an EWOULDBLOCK, and so eventlet will not switch greenthreads on its own. We do it manually so that clients don’t starve.

The number 5 here was chosen by making stuff up. It’s not every single chunk, but it’s not too big either, so it seemed like it would probably be an okay choice.

Note that we may trampoline to other greenthreads more often than once every 5 chunks, depending on how blocking our network IO is; the explicit sleep here simply provides a lower bound on the rate of trampolining.

Parameters:

iterable – iterator to wrap.
period – number of items yielded from this iterator between calls to sleep(); a negative value or 0 mean that cooperative sleep will be disabled.

class swift.common.utils.Everything¶

Bases: object

A container that contains everything. If “e” is an instance of Everything, then “x in e” is true for all x.

class swift.common.utils.GreenAsyncPile(size_or_pool)¶

Bases: object

Runs jobs in a pool of green threads, and the results can be retrieved by using this object as an iterator.

This is very similar in principle to eventlet.GreenPile, except it returns results as they become available rather than in the order they were launched.

Correlating results with jobs (if necessary) is left to the caller.

spawn(func, *args, **kwargs)¶: Spawn a job in a green thread on the pile.

waitall(timeout)¶

Wait timeout seconds for any results to come in.

Parameters:: timeout – seconds to wait for results
Returns:: list of results accrued in that time

waitfirst(timeout)¶

Wait up to timeout seconds for first result to come in.

Parameters:: timeout – seconds to wait for results
Returns:: first item to come back, or None

exception swift.common.utils.GreenAsyncPileWaitallTimeout(seconds=None, exception=None)¶: Bases: Timeout

class swift.common.utils.GreenthreadSafeIterator(unsafe_iterable)¶

Bases: object

Wrap an iterator to ensure that only one greenthread is inside its next() method at a time.

This is useful if an iterator’s next() method may perform network IO, as that may trigger a greenthread context switch (aka trampoline), which can give another greenthread a chance to call next(). At that point, you get an error like “ValueError: generator already executing”. By wrapping calls to next() with a mutex, we avoid that error.

class swift.common.utils.InputProxy(wsgi_input)¶

Bases: object

File-like object that counts bytes read. To be swapped in for wsgi.input for accounting purposes.

read(*args, **kwargs)¶: Pass read request to the underlying file-like object and add bytes read to total.

class swift.common.utils.LogAdapter(logger, server)¶

Bases: LoggerAdapter, object

A Logger like object which performs some reformatting on calls to exception(). Can be used to store a threadlocal transaction id and client ip.

exception(msg, *args, **kwargs)¶: Delegate an exception call to the underlying logger.

getEffectiveLevel()¶: Get the effective level for the underlying logger.

notice(msg, *args, **kwargs)¶: Convenience function for syslog priority LOG_NOTICE. The python logging lvl is set to 25, just above info. SysLogHandler is monkey patched to map this log lvl to the LOG_NOTICE syslog priority.

process(msg, kwargs)¶: Add extra info to message

set_statsd_prefix(prefix)¶

This method is deprecated. Callers should use the statsd_tail_prefix argument of get_logger when instantiating a logger.

The StatsD client prefix defaults to the “name” of the logger. This method may override that default with a specific value. Currently used in the proxy-server to differentiate the Account, Container, and Object controllers.

statsd_delegate()¶

Factory to create methods which delegate to methods on self.logger.statsd_client (an instance of StatsdClient). The created methods conditionally delegate to a method whose name is given in ‘statsd_func_name’. The created delegate methods are a no-op when StatsD logging is not configured.

Parameters:: statsd_func_name – the name of a method on StatsdClient.

class swift.common.utils.LogLevelFilter(level=10)¶

Bases: object

Drop messages for the logger based on level.

This is useful when dependencies log too much information.

Parameters:: level – All messages at or below this level are dropped (DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR < CRITICAL|FATAL) Default: DEBUG

class swift.common.utils.Namespace(name, lower, upper)¶

Bases: object

A Namespace encapsulates parameters that define a range of the object namespace.

Parameters:

name – the name of the Namespace; this SHOULD take the form of a path to a container i.e. <account_name>/<container_name>.

class swift.common.utils.PipeMutex¶

Bases: object

Mutex using a pipe. Works across both greenlets and real threads, even at the same time.

acquire(blocking=True)¶

Acquire the mutex.

If called with blocking=False, returns True if the mutex was acquired and False if it wasn’t. Otherwise, blocks until the mutex is acquired and returns True.

This lock is recursive; the same greenthread may acquire it as many times as it wants to, though it must then release it that many times too.

close()¶

Close the mutex. This releases its file descriptors.

You can’t use a mutex after it’s been closed.

release()¶: Release the mutex.

class swift.common.utils.PrefixLoggerAdapter(logger, extra=None)¶

Bases: SwiftLoggerAdapter

Adds an optional prefix to all its log messages. When the prefix has not been set, messages are unchanged.

exception(msg, *a, **kw)¶: Delegate an exception call to the underlying logger.

process(msg, kwargs)¶

Process the logging message and keyword arguments passed in to a logging call to insert contextual information. You can either manipulate the message itself, the keyword args or both. Return the message and kwargs modified (or not) to suit your needs.

Normally, you’ll only need to override this one method in a LoggerAdapter subclass for your specific needs.

class swift.common.utils.RateLimitedIterator(iterable, elements_per_second, limit_after=0, ratelimit_if=<function RateLimitedIterator.<lambda>>)¶

Bases: object

Wrap an iterator to only yield elements at a rate of N per second.

Parameters:

class swift.common.utils.ShardName(account, root_container, parent_container_hash, timestamp, index)¶

Bases: object

Encapsulates the components of a shard name.

Instances of this class would typically be constructed via the create() or parse() class methods.

Shard names have the form:

<account>/<root_container>-<parent_container_hash>-<timestamp>-<index>

Note: some instances of ShardRange have names that will NOT parse as a ShardName; e.g. a root container’s own shard range will have a name format of <account>/<root_container> which will raise ValueError if passed to parse.

classmethod create(account, root_container, parent_container, timestamp, index)¶

Create an instance of ShardName.

Parameters:

account – the hidden internal account to which the shard container belongs.
root_container – the name of the root container for the shard.
parent_container – the name of the parent container for the shard; for initial first generation shards this should be the same as root_container; for shards of shards this should be the name of the sharding shard container.
timestamp – an instance of Timestamp
index – a unique index that will distinguish the path from any other path generated using the same combination of account, root_container, parent_container and timestamp.

Returns:

an instance of ShardName.

Raises:

ValueError – if any argument is None

classmethod hash_container_name(container_name)¶

Calculates the hash of a container name.

Parameters:: container_name – name to be hashed.
Returns:: the hexdigest of the md5 hash of container_name.
Raises:: ValueError – if container_name is None.

classmethod parse(name)¶

Parse name to an instance of ShardName.

Parameters:: name – a shard name which should have the form: <account>/ <root_container>-<parent_container_hash>-<timestamp>-<index>
Returns:: an instance of ShardName.
Raises:: ValueError – if name is not a valid shard name.

class swift.common.utils.ShardRange(name, timestamp=0, lower=MinBound, upper=MaxBound, object_count=0, bytes_used=0, meta_timestamp=None, deleted=False, state=None, state_timestamp=None, epoch=None, reported=False, tombstones=-1, **kwargs)¶

Bases: Namespace

A ShardRange encapsulates sharding state related to a container including lower and upper bounds that define the object namespace for which the container is responsible.

Shard ranges may be persisted in a container database. Timestamps associated with subsets of the shard range attributes are used to resolve conflicts when a shard range needs to be merged with an existing shard range record and the most recent version of an attribute should be persisted.

Parameters:

name – the name of the shard range; this MUST take the form of a path to a container i.e. <account_name>/<container_name>.
timestamp – a timestamp that represents the time at which the shard range’s lower, upper or deleted attributes were last modified.
lower – the lower bound of object names contained in the shard range; the lower bound is not included in the shard range namespace.
upper – the upper bound of object names contained in the shard range; the upper bound is included in the shard range namespace.
object_count – the number of objects in the shard range; defaults to zero.
bytes_used – the number of bytes in the shard range; defaults to zero.
meta_timestamp – a timestamp that represents the time at which the shard range’s object_count and bytes_used were last updated; defaults to the value of timestamp.
deleted – a boolean; if True the shard range is considered to be deleted.
state – the state; must be one of ShardRange.STATES; defaults to CREATED.
state_timestamp – a timestamp that represents the time at which state was forced to its current value; defaults to the value of timestamp. This timestamp is typically not updated with every change of state because in general conflicts in state attributes are resolved by choosing the larger state value. However, when this rule does not apply, for example when changing state from SHARDED to ACTIVE, the state_timestamp may be advanced so that the new state value is preferred over any older state value.
epoch – optional epoch timestamp which represents the time at which sharding was enabled for a container.
reported – optional indicator that this shard and its stats have been reported to the root container.
tombstones – the number of tombstones in the shard range; defaults to -1 to indicate that the value is unknown.

copy(timestamp=None, **kwargs)¶

Creates a copy of the ShardRange.

Parameters:: timestamp – (optional) If given, the returned ShardRange will have all of its timestamps set to this value. Otherwise the returned ShardRange will have the original timestamps.
Returns:: an instance of ShardRange

find_ancestors(shard_ranges)¶

Find this shard range’s ancestor ranges in the given shard_ranges.

This method makes a best-effort attempt to identify this shard range’s parent shard range, the parent’s parent, etc., up to and including the root shard range. It is only possible to directly identify the parent of a particular shard range, so the search is recursive; if any member of the ancestry is not found then the search ends and older ancestors that may be in the list are not identified. The root shard range, however, will always be identified if it is present in the list.

For example, given a list that contains parent, grandparent, great-great-grandparent and root shard ranges, but is missing the great-grandparent shard range, only the parent, grand-parent and root shard ranges will be identified.

Parameters:: shard_ranges – a list of instances of ShardRange
Returns:: a list of instances of ShardRange containing items in the given shard_ranges that can be identified as ancestors of this shard range. The list may not be complete if there are gaps in the ancestry, but is guaranteed to contain at least the parent and root shard ranges if they are present.

find_root(shard_ranges)¶

Find this shard range’s root shard range in the given shard_ranges.

Parameters:: shard_ranges – a list of instances of ShardRange
Returns:: this shard range’s root shard range if it is found in the list, otherwise None.

classmethod from_dict(params)¶

Return an instance constructed using the given dict of params. This method is deliberately less flexible than the class __init__() method and requires all of the __init__() args to be given in the dict of params.

Parameters:: params – a dict of parameters
Returns:: an instance of this class

increment_meta(object_count, bytes_used)¶

Increment the object stats metadata by the given values and update the meta_timestamp to the current time.

Parameters:

object_count – should be an integer
bytes_used – should be an integer

Raises:

ValueError – if object_count or bytes_used cannot be cast to an int.

is_child_of(parent)¶

Test if this shard range is a child of another shard range. The parent-child relationship is inferred from the names of the shard ranges. This method is limited to work only within the scope of the same user-facing account (with and without shard prefix).

Parameters:: parent – an instance of ShardRange.
Returns:: True if parent is the parent of this shard range, False otherwise, assuming that they are within the same account.

classmethod make_path(shards_account, root_container, parent_container, timestamp, index)¶

Returns a path for a shard container that is valid to use as a name when constructing a ShardRange.

Parameters:

shards_account – the hidden internal account to which the shard container belongs.
root_container – the name of the root container for the shard.
parent_container – the name of the parent container for the shard; for initial first generation shards this should be the same as root_container; for shards of shards this should be the name of the sharding shard container.
timestamp – an instance of Timestamp
index – a unique index that will distinguish the path from any other path generated using the same combination of shards_account, root_container, parent_container and timestamp.

Returns:

a string of the form <account_name>/<container_name>

classmethod resolve_state(state)¶

Given a value that may be either the name or the number of a state return a tuple of (state number, state name).

Parameters:: state – Either a string state name or an integer state number.
Returns:: A tuple (state number, state name)
Raises:: ValueError – if state is neither a valid state name nor a valid state number.

property row_count¶

Returns:: the row count

set_deleted(timestamp=None)¶

Mark the shard range deleted and set timestamp to the current time.

Parameters:: timestamp – optional timestamp to set; if not given the current time will be set.
Returns:: True if the deleted attribute or timestamp was changed, False otherwise

update_meta(object_count, bytes_used, meta_timestamp=None)¶

Set the object stats metadata to the given values and update the meta_timestamp to the current time.

Parameters:

object_count – should be an integer
bytes_used – should be an integer
meta_timestamp – timestamp for metadata; if not given the current time will be set.

Raises:

ValueError – if object_count or bytes_used cannot be cast to an int, or if meta_timestamp is neither None nor can be cast to a Timestamp.

update_state(state, state_timestamp=None)¶

Set state to the given value and optionally update the state_timestamp to the given time.

Parameters:

state – new state, should be an integer
state_timestamp – timestamp for state; if not given the state_timestamp will not be changed.

Returns:

class swift.common.utils.ShardRangeList(initlist=None)¶

Bases: UserList

This class provides some convenience functions for working with lists of ShardRange.

This class does not enforce ordering or continuity of the list items: callers should ensure that items are added in order as appropriate.

property bytes_used¶

Returns the total number of bytes in all items in the list.

Returns:: total bytes used

filter(includes=None, marker=None, end_marker=None)¶

Filter the list for those shard ranges whose namespace includes the includes name or any part of the namespace between marker and end_marker. If none of includes, marker or end_marker are specified then all shard ranges will be returned.

Parameters:

includes – a string; if not empty then only the shard range, if any, whose namespace includes this string will be returned, and marker and end_marker will be ignored.
marker – if specified then only shard ranges whose upper bound is greater than this value will be returned.
end_marker – if specified then only shard ranges whose lower bound is less than this value will be returned.

Returns:

A new instance of ShardRangeList containing the filtered shard ranges.

find_lower(condition)¶

Finds the first shard range satisfies the given condition and returns its lower bound.

Parameters:: condition – A function that must accept a single argument of type ShardRange and return True if the shard range satisfies the condition or False otherwise.
Returns:: The lower bound of the first shard range to satisfy the condition, or the upper value of this list if no such shard range is found.

includes(other)¶

Check if another ShardRange namespace is enclosed between the list’s lower and upper properties. Note: the list’s lower and upper properties will only equal the outermost bounds of all items in the list if the list has previously been sorted.

Note: the list does not need to contain an item matching other for this method to return True, although if the list has been sorted and does contain an item matching other then the method will return True.

Parameters:: other – an instance of ShardRange
Returns:: True if other’s namespace is enclosed, False otherwise.

property lower¶

Returns the lower bound of the first item in the list. Note: this will only be equal to the lowest bound of all items in the list if the list contents has been sorted.

Returns the upper bound of the last item in the list. Note: this will only be equal to the uppermost bound of all items in the list if the list has previously been sorted.

Returns:: upper bound of last item in the list, or Namespace.MIN if the list is empty.

class swift.common.utils.Spliterator(source_iterable)¶

Bases: object

Takes an iterator yielding sliceable things (e.g. strings or lists) and yields subiterators, each yielding up to the requested number of items from the source.

>>> si = Spliterator(["abcde", "fg", "hijkl"])
>>> ''.join(si.take(4))
"abcd"
>>> ''.join(si.take(3))
"efg"
>>> ''.join(si.take(1))
"h"
>>> ''.join(si.take(3))
"ijk"
>>> ''.join(si.take(3))
"l"  # shorter than requested; this can happen with the last iterator

class swift.common.utils.StrAnonymizer(data, method, salt)¶

Bases: str

Class that permits to get a string anonymized or simply quoted.

class swift.common.utils.StrFormatTime(ts)¶

Bases: object

Class that permits to get formats or parts of a time.

class swift.common.utils.StreamingPile(size)¶

Bases: GreenAsyncPile

Runs jobs in a pool of green threads, spawning more jobs as results are retrieved and worker threads become available.

When used as a context manager, has the same worker-killing properties as ContextPool.

asyncstarmap(func, args_iter)¶: This is the same as itertools.starmap(), except that func is executed in a separate green thread for each item, and results won’t necessarily have the same order as inputs.

class swift.common.utils.StringAlong(iterable, other_iter, unexpected_items_func)¶

Bases: ClosingIterator

This iterator wraps and iterates over a first iterator until it stops, and then iterates a second iterator, expecting it to stop immediately. This “stringing along” of the second iterator is useful when the exit of the second iterator must be delayed until the first iterator has stopped. For example, when the second iterator has already yielded its item(s) but has resources that mustn’t be garbage collected until the first iterator has stopped.

The second iterator is expected to have no more items and raise StopIteration when called. If this is not the case then unexpected_items_func is called.

Parameters:

iterable – a first iterator that is wrapped and iterated.
other_iter – a second iterator that is stopped once the first iterator has stopped.
unexpected_items_func – a no-arg function that will be called if the second iterator is found to have remaining items.

class swift.common.utils.SwiftLogFormatter(fmt=None, datefmt=None, max_line_length=0)¶

Bases: Formatter

Custom logging.Formatter will append txn_id to a log message if the record has one and the message does not. Optionally it can shorten overly long log lines.

format(record)¶

Format the specified record as text.

The record’s attribute dictionary is used as the operand to a string formatting operation which yields the returned string. Before formatting the dictionary, a couple of preparatory steps are carried out. The message attribute of the record is computed using LogRecord.getMessage(). If the formatting string uses the time (as determined by a call to usesTime(), formatTime() is called to format the event time. If there is exception information, it is formatted using formatException() and appended to the message.

class swift.common.utils.SwiftLoggerAdapter(logger, extra=None)¶

Bases: LoggerAdapter

A logging.LoggerAdapter subclass that also passes through StatsD method calls.

Like logging.LoggerAdapter, you have to subclass this and override the process() method to accomplish anything useful.

exception(msg, *a, **kw)¶: Delegate an exception call to the underlying logger.

class swift.common.utils.ThreadSafeSysLogHandler(address=('localhost', 514), facility=1, socktype=None)¶

Bases: SysLogHandler

createLock()¶: Acquire a thread lock for serializing access to the underlying I/O.

class swift.common.utils.Watchdog¶

Bases: object

Implements a watchdog to efficiently manage concurrent timeouts.

Compared to eventlet.timeouts.Timeout, it reduces the number of context switching in eventlet by avoiding to schedule actions (throw an Exception), then unschedule them if the timeouts are cancelled.

at T+0, request timeout(10)
=> wathdog greenlet sleeps 10 seconds
at T+1, request timeout(15)

=> the timeout will expire after the current, no need to wake up the
watchdog greenlet
at T+2, request timeout(5)

=> the timeout will expire before the first timeout, wake up the
watchdog greenlet to calculate a new sleep period
at T+7, the 3rd timeout expires

=> the exception is raised, then the greenlet watchdog sleep(3) to
wake up for the 1st timeout expiration

spawn()¶: Start the watchdog greenthread.

start(timeout, exc, timeout_at=None)¶

Schedule a timeout action

Parameters:

timeout – duration before the timeout expires
exc – exception to throw when the timeout expire, must inherit from eventlet.Timeout
timeout_at – allow to force the expiration timestamp

Returns:

id of the scheduled timeout, needed to cancel it

stop(key)¶

Cancel a scheduled timeout

Parameters:: key – timeout id, as returned by start()

class swift.common.utils.WatchdogTimeout(watchdog, timeout, exc, timeout_at=None)¶

Bases: object

Context manager to schedule a timeout in a Watchdog instance

swift.common.utils.affinity_key_function(affinity_str)¶

Turns an affinity config value into a function suitable for passing to sort(). After doing so, the array will be sorted with respect to the given ordering.

For example, if affinity_str is “r1=1, r2z7=2, r2z8=2”, then the array will be sorted with all nodes from region 1 (r1=1) first, then all the nodes from region 2 zones 7 and 8 (r2z7=2 and r2z8=2), then everything else.

Note that the order of the pieces of affinity_str is irrelevant; the priority values are what comes after the equals sign.

If affinity_str is empty or all whitespace, then the resulting function will not alter the ordering of the nodes.

Parameters:: affinity_str – affinity config value, e.g. “r1z2=3” or “r1=1, r2z1=2, r2z2=2”
Returns:: single-argument function
Raises:: ValueError – if argument invalid

swift.common.utils.affinity_locality_predicate(write_affinity_str)¶

Turns a write-affinity config value into a predicate function for nodes. The returned value will be a 1-arg function that takes a node dictionary and returns a true value if it is “local” and a false value otherwise. The definition of “local” comes from the affinity_str argument passed in here.

For example, if affinity_str is “r1, r2z2”, then only nodes where region=1 or where (region=2 and zone=2) are considered local.

If affinity_str is empty or all whitespace, then the resulting function will consider everything local

Parameters:: write_affinity_str – affinity config value, e.g. “r1z2” or “r1, r2z1, r2z2”
Returns:: single-argument function, or None if affinity_str is empty
Raises:: ValueError – if argument invalid

swift.common.utils.audit_location_generator(devices, datadir, suffix='', mount_check=True, logger=None, devices_filter=None, partitions_filter=None, suffixes_filter=None, hashes_filter=None, hook_pre_device=None, hook_post_device=None, hook_pre_partition=None, hook_post_partition=None, hook_pre_suffix=None, hook_post_suffix=None, hook_pre_hash=None, hook_post_hash=None, error_counter=None, yield_hash_dirs=False)¶

swift.common.utils.backward(f, blocksize=4096)¶

A generator returning lines from a file starting with the last line, then the second last line, etc. i.e., it reads lines backwards. Stops when the first line (if any) is read. This is useful when searching for recent activity in very large files.

Parameters:

f – file object to read
blocksize – no of characters to go backwards at each block

swift.common.utils.cache_from_env(env, allow_none=False)¶

Get memcache connection pool from the environment (which had been previously set by the memcache middleware

Parameters:: env – wsgi environment dict
Returns:: swift.common.memcached.MemcacheRing from environment

swift.common.utils.capture_stdio(logger, **kwargs)¶

Log unhandled exceptions, close stdio, capture stdout and stderr.

param logger: Logger object to use

swift.common.utils.closing_if_possible(maybe_closable)¶

Like contextlib.closing(), but doesn’t crash if the object lacks a close() method.

PEP 333 (WSGI) says: “If the iterable returned by the application has a close() method, the server or gateway must call that method upon completion of the current request[.]” This function makes that easier.

swift.common.utils.compute_eta(start_time, current_value, final_value)¶

Compute an ETA. Now only if we could also have a progress bar…

Parameters:

start_time – Unix timestamp when the operation began
current_value – Current value

swift.common.utils.document_iters_to_http_response_body(ranges_iter, boundary, multipart, logger)¶

Takes an iterator of range iters and turns it into an appropriate HTTP response body, whether that’s multipart/byteranges or not.

This is almost, but not quite, the inverse of request_helpers.http_response_to_document_iters(). This function only yields chunks of the body, not any headers.

Parameters:

ranges_iter –
an iterator of dictionaries, one per range. Each dictionary must contain at least the following key: “part_iter”: iterator yielding the bytes in the range

Additionally, if multipart is True, then the following other keys are required:

”start_byte”: index of the first byte in the range “end_byte”: index of the last byte in the range “content_type”: value for the range’s Content-Type header

Finally, there is one optional key that is used in the
multipart/byteranges case:

”entity_length”: length of the requested entity (not necessarily
equal to the response length). If omitted, “*” will be used.

Each part_iter will be exhausted prior to calling next(ranges_iter).
boundary – MIME boundary to use, sans dashes (e.g. “boundary”, not “–boundary”).
multipart – True if the response should be multipart/byteranges, False otherwise. This should be True if and only if you have 2 or more ranges.
logger – a logger

swift.common.utils.document_iters_to_multipart_byteranges(ranges_iter, boundary)¶

Takes an iterator of range iters and yields a multipart/byteranges MIME document suitable for sending as the body of a multi-range 206 response.

See document_iters_to_http_response_body for parameter descriptions.

swift.common.utils.drain_and_close(response_or_app_iter, read_limit=None)¶

Drain and close a swob or WSGI response.

This ensures we don’t log a 499 in the proxy just because we realized we don’t care about the body of an error.

swift.common.utils.drop_privileges(user)¶

Sets the userid/groupid of the current process, get session leader, etc.

Parameters:: user – User name to change privileges to

swift.common.utils.dump_recon_cache(cache_dict, cache_file, logger, lock_timeout=2, set_owner=None)¶

the content_type string minus any swift_bytes param,
the swift_bytes value or None if the param was not found

Parameters:: content_type – a content-type string
Returns:: a tuple of (content-type, swift_bytes or None)

swift.common.utils.fallocate(fd, size, offset=0)¶

Pre-allocate disk space for a file.

This function can be disabled by calling disable_fallocate(). If no suitable C function is available in libc, this function is a no-op.

Parameters:

fd – file descriptor
size – size to allocate (in bytes)

swift.common.utils.fdatasync(fd)¶

Sync modified file data to disk.

Parameters:: fd – file descriptor

swift.common.utils.filter_namespaces(namespaces, includes, marker, end_marker)¶

Filter the given Namespaces/ShardRanges to those whose namespace includes the includes name or any part of the namespace between marker and end_marker. If none of includes, marker or end_marker are specified then all Namespaces will be returned.

Parameters:

namespaces – A list of Namespace or ShardRange.
includes – a string; if not empty then only the Namespace, if any, whose namespace includes this string will be returned, marker and end_marker will be ignored.
marker – if specified then only shard ranges whose upper bound is greater than this value will be returned.
end_marker – if specified then only shard ranges whose lower bound is less than this value will be returned.

Returns:

A filtered list of Namespace.

swift.common.utils.find_namespace(item, namespaces)¶

Find a Namespace/ShardRange in given list of namespaces whose namespace contains item.

Parameters:

item – The item for a which a Namespace is to be found.
ranges – a sorted list of Namespaces.

Returns:

the Namespace/ShardRange whose namespace contains item, or None if no suitable Namespace is found.

swift.common.utils.friendly_close(resp)¶

Close a swob or WSGI response and maybe drain it.

It’s basically free to “read” a HEAD or HTTPException response - the bytes are probably already in our network buffers. For a larger response we could possibly burn a lot of CPU/network trying to drain an un-used response. This method will read up to DEFAULT_DRAIN_LIMIT bytes to avoid logging a 499 in the proxy when it would otherwise be easy to just throw away the small/empty body.

swift.common.utils.fs_has_free_space(fs_path_or_fd, space_needed, is_percent)¶

Check to see whether or not a filesystem has the given amount of space free. Unlike fallocate(), this does not reserve any space.

Parameters:

fs_path_or_fd – path to a file or directory on the filesystem, or an open file descriptor; if a directory, typically the path to the filesystem’s mount point
space_needed – minimum bytes or percentage of free space
is_percent – if True, then space_needed is treated as a percentage of the filesystem’s capacity; if False, space_needed is a number of free bytes.

Returns:

True if the filesystem has at least that much free space, False otherwise

Raises:

OSError – if fs_path does not exist

swift.common.utils.fsync(fd)¶

Sync modified file data and metadata to disk.

Parameters:: fd – file descriptor

<hash>[_<epoch>].db

where <hash> matches the <hash> part of the given db_path as would be parsed by parse_db_filename().

Parameters:: db_path – Path to a db file that does not necessarily exist.
Returns:: List of valid db files that do exist in the dir of the db_path. This list may be empty.

swift.common.utils.get_expirer_container(x_delete_at, expirer_divisor, acc, cont, obj)¶: Returns an expiring object container name for given X-Delete-At and (native string) a/c/o.

swift.common.utils.get_hub()¶

Checks whether poll is available and falls back on select if it isn’t.

Note about epoll:

Review: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/18806/

There was a problem where once out of every 30 quadrillion connections, a coroutine wouldn’t wake up when the client closed its end. Epoll was not reporting the event or it was getting swallowed somewhere. Then when that file descriptor was re-used, eventlet would freak right out because it still thought it was waiting for activity from it in some other coro.

Another note about epoll: it’s hard to use when forking. epoll works like so:

create an epoll instance: efd = epoll_create(...)
register file descriptors of interest with epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, fd, ...)
wait for events with epoll_wait(efd, ...)

If you fork, you and all your child processes end up using the same epoll instance, and everyone becomes confused. It is possible to use epoll and fork and still have a correct program as long as you do the right things, but eventlet doesn’t do those things. Really, it can’t even try to do those things since it doesn’t get notified of forks.

In contrast, both poll() and select() specify the set of interesting file descriptors with each call, so there’s no problem with forking.

As eventlet monkey patching is now done before call get_hub() in wsgi.py if we use ‘import select’ we get the eventlet version, but since version 0.20.0 eventlet removed select.poll() function in patched select (see: http://eventlet.net/doc/changelog.html and https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/commit/614a20462).

We use eventlet.patcher.original function to get python select module to test if poll() is available on platform.

Parameters:: str_or_unicode – a string or an unicode which can be invalid utf-8

swift.common.utils.get_zero_indexed_base_string(base, index)¶

This allows the caller to make a list of things with indexes, where the first item (zero indexed) is just the bare base string, and subsequent indexes are appended ‘-1’, ‘-2’, etc.

swift.common.utils.ismount_raw(path)¶

Test whether a path is a mount point. Whereas ismount will catch any exceptions and just return False, this raw version will not catch exceptions.

This is code hijacked from C Python 2.6.8, adapted to remove the extra lstat() system call.

swift.common.utils.link_fd_to_path(fd, target_path, dirs_created=0, retries=2, fsync=True)¶

Creates a link to file descriptor at target_path specified. This method does not close the fd for you. Unlike rename, as linkat() cannot overwrite target_path if it exists, we unlink and try again.

Attempts to fix / hide race conditions like empty object directories being removed by backend processes during uploads, by retrying.

Parameters:

fd – File descriptor to be linked
target_path – Path in filesystem where fd is to be linked
dirs_created – Number of newly created directories that needs to be fsync’d.
retries – number of retries to make
fsync – fsync on containing directory of target_path and also all the newly created directories.

swift.common.utils.list_from_csv(comma_separated_str)¶: Splits the str given and returns a properly stripped list of the comma separated values.

swift.common.utils.lock_file(filename, timeout=None, append=False, unlink=True)¶

Context manager that acquires a lock on a file. This will block until the lock can be acquired, or the timeout time has expired (whichever occurs first).

Parameters:

filename – file to be locked
timeout – timeout (in seconds). If None, defaults to DEFAULT_LOCK_TIMEOUT
append – True if file should be opened in append mode
unlink – True if the file should be unlinked at the end

swift.common.utils.lock_parent_directory(filename, timeout=None)¶

Context manager that acquires a lock on the parent directory of the given file path. This will block until the lock can be acquired, or the timeout time has expired (whichever occurs first).

Parameters:

filename – file path of the parent directory to be locked
timeout – timeout (in seconds). If None, defaults to DEFAULT_LOCK_TIMEOUT

swift.common.utils.lock_path(directory, timeout=None, timeout_class=None, limit=1, name=None)¶

Context manager that acquires a lock on a directory. This will block until the lock can be acquired, or the timeout time has expired (whichever occurs first).

For locking exclusively, file or directory has to be opened in Write mode. Python doesn’t allow directories to be opened in Write Mode. So we workaround by locking a hidden file in the directory.

Parameters:

directory – directory to be locked
timeout – timeout (in seconds). If None, defaults to DEFAULT_LOCK_TIMEOUT
timeout_class – The class of the exception to raise if the lock cannot be granted within the timeout. Will be constructed as timeout_class(timeout, lockpath). Default: LockTimeout
limit – The maximum number of locks that may be held concurrently on the same directory at the time this method is called. Note that this limit is only applied during the current call to this method and does not prevent subsequent calls giving a larger limit. Defaults to 1.
name – A string to distinguishes different type of locks in a directory

Raises:

TypeError – if limit is not an int.
ValueError – if limit is less than 1.

swift.common.utils.make_db_file_path(db_path, epoch)¶

Given a path to a db file, return a modified path whose filename part has the given epoch.

A db filename takes the form <hash>[_<epoch>].db; this method replaces the <epoch> part of the given db_path with the given epoch value, or drops the epoch part if the given epoch is None.

Parameters:

db_path – Path to a db file that does not necessarily exist.
epoch – A string (or None) that will be used as the epoch in the new path’s filename; non-None values will be normalized to the normal string representation of a Timestamp.

Returns:

A modified path to a db file.

Raises:

ValueError – if the epoch is not valid for constructing a Timestamp.

swift.common.utils.makedirs_count(path, count=0)¶

Same as os.makedirs() except that this method returns the number of new directories that had to be created.

Also, this does not raise an error if target directory already exists. This behaviour is similar to Python 3.x’s os.makedirs() called with exist_ok=True. Also similar to swift.common.utils.mkdirs()

https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/v3.4.2/Lib/os.py#l212

SystemExit – First arg (CONFIG) is required, file must exist

swift.common.utils.parse_override_options(**kwargs)¶

Figure out which policies, devices, and partitions we should operate on, based on kwargs.

If ‘override_policies’ is already present in kwargs, then return that value. This happens when using multiple worker processes; the parent process supplies override_policies=X to each child process.

Otherwise, in run-once mode, look at the ‘policies’ keyword argument. This is the value of the “–policies” command-line option. In run-forever mode or if no –policies option was provided, an empty list will be returned.

The procedures for devices and partitions are similar.

Returns:: a named tuple with fields “devices”, “partitions”, and “policies”.

swift.common.utils.parse_prefixed_conf(conf_file, prefix)¶

offset – index of first byte to de-allocate
length – number of bytes to de-allocate

swift.common.utils.put_recon_cache_entry(cache_entry, key, item)¶

Update a recon cache entry item.

If item is an empty dict then any existing key in cache_entry will be deleted. Similarly if item is a dict and any of its values are empty dicts then the corresponding key will be deleted from the nested dict in cache_entry.

We use nested recon cache entries when the object auditor runs in parallel or else in ‘once’ mode with a specified subset of devices.

Parameters:

cache_entry – a dict of existing cache entries
key – key for item to update
item – value for item to update

swift.common.utils.quorum_size(n)¶

quorum size as it applies to services that use ‘replication’ for data integrity (Account/Container services). Object quorum_size is defined on a storage policy basis.

swift.common.utils.quote(value, safe='/')¶: Patched version of urllib.quote that encodes utf-8 strings before quoting

swift.common.utils.random() → x in the interval [0, 1).¶

swift.common.utils.ratelimit_sleep(running_time, max_rate, incr_by=1, rate_buffer=5)¶

Will eventlet.sleep() for the appropriate time so that the max_rate is never exceeded. If max_rate is 0, will not ratelimit. The maximum recommended rate should not exceed (1000 * incr_by) a second as eventlet.sleep() does involve some overhead. Returns running_time that should be used for subsequent calls.

Parameters:

running_time – the running time in milliseconds of the next allowable request. Best to start at zero.
max_rate – The maximum rate per second allowed for the process.
incr_by – How much to increment the counter. Useful if you want to ratelimit 1024 bytes/sec and have differing sizes of requests. Must be > 0 to engage rate-limiting behavior.
rate_buffer – Number of seconds the rate counter can drop and be allowed to catch up (at a faster than listed rate). A larger number will result in larger spikes in rate but better average accuracy. Must be > 0 to engage rate-limiting behavior.

Returns:

The absolute time for the next interval in milliseconds; note that time could have passed well beyond that point, but the next call will catch that and skip the sleep.

swift.common.utils.readconf(conf_path, section_name=None, log_name=None, defaults=None, raw=False)¶

Read config file(s) and return config items as a dict

Parameters:

conf_path – path to config file/directory, or a file-like object (hasattr readline)
section_name – config section to read (will return all sections if not defined)
log_name – name to be used with logging (will use section_name if not defined)
defaults – dict of default values to pre-populate the config with

Returns:

dict of config items

Raises:

ValueError – if section_name does not exist
IOError – if reading the file failed

swift.common.utils.reiterate(iterable)¶: Consume the first truthy item from an iterator, then re-chain it to the rest of the iterator. This is useful when you want to make sure the prologue to downstream generators have been executed before continuing. :param iterable: an iterable object

swift.common.utils.renamer(old, new, fsync=True)¶

Attempt to fix / hide race conditions like empty object directories being removed by backend processes during uploads, by retrying.

The containing directory of ‘new’ and of all newly created directories are fsync’d by default. This _will_ come at a performance penalty. In cases where these additional fsyncs are not necessary, it is expected that the caller of renamer() turn it off explicitly.

Parameters:

old – old path to be renamed
new – new path to be renamed to

Returns:: True if entry_point_name is first in pipeline, False otherwise

class swift.common.wsgi.RestrictedGreenPool(size=1024)¶

Bases: GreenPool

Works the same as GreenPool, but if the size is specified as one, then the spawn_n() method will invoke waitall() before returning to prevent the caller from doing any other work (like calling accept()).

spawn_n(*args, **kwargs)¶: Create a greenthread to run the function, the same as spawn(). The difference is that spawn_n() returns None; the results of function are not retrievable.

class swift.common.wsgi.ServersPerPortStrategy(conf, logger, servers_per_port)¶

Bases: StrategyBase

WSGI server management strategy object for an object-server with one listen port per unique local port in the storage policy rings. The servers_per_port integer config setting determines how many workers are run per port.

Tracking data is a map like port -> [(pid, socket), ...].

Used in run_wsgi().

Parameters:

conf (dict) – Server configuration dictionary.
logger – The server’s LogAdaptor object.
servers_per_port (int) – The number of workers to run per port.

iter_sockets()¶: Yields all known listen sockets.

log_sock_exit(sock, data)¶: Log a server’s exit.

loop_timeout()¶

Return timeout before checking for reloaded rings.

Returns:: The time to wait for a child to exit before checking for reloaded rings (new ports).

new_worker_socks()¶

Yield a sequence of (socket, (port, server_idx)) tuples for each server which should be forked-off and started.

Any sockets for “orphaned” ports no longer in any ring will be closed (causing their associated workers to gracefully exit) after all new sockets have been yielded.

The server_idx item for each socket will passed into the log_sock_exit() and register_worker_start() methods.

no_fork_sock()¶: This strategy does not support running in the foreground.

register_worker_exit(pid)¶

Called when a worker has exited.

Parameters:: pid (int) – The PID of the worker that exited.

register_worker_start(sock, data, pid)¶

Called when a new worker is started.

Parameters:

sock (socket) – The listen socket for the worker just started.
data (tuple) – The socket’s (port, server_idx) as yielded by new_worker_socks().
pid (int) – The new worker process’ PID

class swift.common.wsgi.StrategyBase(conf, logger)¶

Bases: object

Some operations common to all strategy classes.

post_fork_hook()¶: Called in each forked-off child process, prior to starting the actual wsgi server, to perform any initialization such as drop privileges.

set_close_on_exec_on_listen_sockets()¶: Set the close-on-exec flag on any listen sockets.

shutdown_sockets()¶: Shutdown any listen sockets.

signal_ready()¶: Signal that the server is up and accepting connections.

class swift.common.wsgi.WSGIContext(wsgi_app)¶

Bases: object

This class provides a means to provide context (scope) for a middleware filter to have access to the wsgi start_response results like the request status and headers.

class swift.common.wsgi.WorkersStrategy(conf, logger)¶

Bases: StrategyBase

WSGI server management strategy object for a single bind port and listen socket shared by a configured number of forked-off workers.

Tracking data is a map of pid -> socket.

Used in run_wsgi().

Parameters:

conf (dict) – Server configuration dictionary.
logger – The server’s LogAdaptor object.

iter_sockets()¶: Yields all known listen sockets.

log_sock_exit(sock, _unused)¶

Log a server’s exit.

Parameters:

sock (socket) – The listen socket for the worker just started.
_unused – The socket’s opaque_data yielded by new_worker_socks().

loop_timeout()¶

We want to keep from busy-waiting, but we also need a non-None value so the main loop gets a chance to tell whether it should keep running or not (e.g. SIGHUP received).

So we return 0.5.

new_worker_socks()¶

Yield a sequence of (socket, opqaue_data) tuples for each server which should be forked-off and started.

The opaque_data item for each socket will passed into the log_sock_exit() and register_worker_start() methods where it will be ignored.

no_fork_sock()¶: Return a server listen socket if the server should run in the foreground (no fork).

register_worker_exit(pid)¶

Called when a worker has exited.

NOTE: a re-exec’ed server can reap the dead worker PIDs from the old server process that is being replaced as part of a service reload (SIGUSR1). So we need to be robust to getting some unknown PID here.

Parameters:: pid (int) – The PID of the worker that exited.

register_worker_start(sock, _unused, pid)¶

Called when a new worker is started.

Parameters:

sock (socket) – The listen socket for the worker just started.
_unused – The socket’s opaque_data yielded by new_worker_socks().
pid (int) – The new worker process’ PID

swift.common.wsgi.wrap_conf_type(f)¶: Wrap a function whos first argument is a paste.deploy style config uri, such that you can pass it an un-adorned raw filesystem path (or config string) and the config directive (either config:, config_dir:, or config_str:) will be added automatically based on the type of entity (either a file or directory, or if no such entity on the file system - just a string) before passing it through to the paste.deploy function.

Storage Policy¶

class swift.common.storage_policy.BaseStoragePolicy(idx, name='', is_default=False, is_deprecated=False, object_ring=None, aliases='', diskfile_module='egg:swift#replication.fs')¶

Bases: object

Represents a storage policy. Not meant to be instantiated directly; implement a derived subclasses (e.g. StoragePolicy, ECStoragePolicy, etc) or use reload_storage_policies() to load POLICIES from swift.conf.

The object_ring property is lazy loaded once the service’s swift_dir is known via get_object_ring(), but it may be over-ridden via object_ring kwarg at create time for testing or actively loaded with load_ring().

add_name(name)¶

Adds an alias name to the storage policy. Shouldn’t be called directly from the storage policy but instead through the storage policy collection class, so lookups by name resolve correctly.

Parameters:: name – a new alias for the storage policy

change_primary_name(name)¶

Changes the primary/default name of the policy to a specified name.

Parameters:: name – a string name to replace the current primary name.

get_diskfile_manager(*args, **kwargs)¶

Return an instance of the diskfile manager class configured for this storage policy.

Parameters:

args – positional args to pass to the diskfile manager constructor.
kwargs – keyword args to pass to the diskfile manager constructor.

Returns:

A disk file manager instance.

get_info(config=False)¶

Return the info dict and conf file options for this policy.

Parameters:: config – boolean, if True all config options are returned

load_ring(swift_dir, reload_time=None)¶

Load the ring for this policy immediately.

Parameters:

swift_dir – path to rings
reload_time – time interval in seconds to check for a ring change

property quorum¶: Number of successful backend requests needed for the proxy to consider the client request successful.

classmethod register(policy_type)¶: Decorator for Storage Policy implementations to register their StoragePolicy class. This will also set the policy_type attribute on the registered implementation.

remove_name(name)¶

Removes an alias name from the storage policy. Shouldn’t be called directly from the storage policy but instead through the storage policy collection class, so lookups by name resolve correctly. If the name removed is the primary name then the next available alias will be adopted as the new primary name.

Parameters:: name – a name assigned to the storage policy

validate_ring_data(ring_data)¶: Validation hook used when loading the ring; currently only used for EC

class swift.common.storage_policy.ECStoragePolicy(idx, name='', aliases='', is_default=False, is_deprecated=False, object_ring=None, diskfile_module='egg:swift#erasure_coding.fs', ec_segment_size=1048576, ec_type=None, ec_ndata=None, ec_nparity=None, ec_duplication_factor=1)¶

Bases: BaseStoragePolicy

Represents a storage policy of type ‘erasure_coding’.

Not meant to be instantiated directly; use reload_storage_policies() to load POLICIES from swift.conf.

property ec_scheme_description¶: This short hand form of the important parts of the ec schema is stored in Object System Metadata on the EC Fragment Archives for debugging.

property fragment_size¶

Maximum length of a fragment, including header.

NB: a fragment archive is a sequence of 0 or more max-length fragments followed by one possibly-shorter fragment.

get_backend_index(node_index)¶

Backend index for PyECLib

Parameters:: node_index – integer of node index
Returns:: integer of actual fragment index. if param is not an integer, return None instead

get_info(config=False)¶

Return the info dict and conf file options for this policy.

Parameters:: config – boolean, if True all config options are returned

property quorum¶

Number of successful backend requests needed for the proxy to consider the client PUT request successful.

The quorum size for EC policies defines the minimum number of data + parity elements required to be able to guarantee the desired fault tolerance, which is the number of data elements supplemented by the minimum number of parity elements required by the chosen erasure coding scheme.

For example, for Reed-Solomon, the minimum number parity elements required is 1, and thus the quorum_size requirement is ec_ndata + 1.

Given the number of parity elements required is not the same for every erasure coding scheme, consult PyECLib for min_parity_fragments_needed()

validate_ring_data(ring_data)¶

EC specific validation

Replica count check - we need _at_least_ (#data + #parity) replicas configured. Also if the replica count is larger than exactly that number there’s a non-zero risk of error for code that is considering the number of nodes in the primary list from the ring.

exception swift.common.storage_policy.PolicyError(msg, index=None)¶: Bases: ValueError

class swift.common.storage_policy.StoragePolicy(idx, name='', is_default=False, is_deprecated=False, object_ring=None, aliases='', diskfile_module='egg:swift#replication.fs')¶

Bases: BaseStoragePolicy

Represents a storage policy of type ‘replication’. Default storage policy class unless otherwise overridden from swift.conf.

Not meant to be instantiated directly; use reload_storage_policies() to load POLICIES from swift.conf.

property quorum¶

Quorum concept in the replication case:: floor(number of replica / 2) + 1

class swift.common.storage_policy.StoragePolicyCollection(pols)¶

Bases: object

This class represents the collection of valid storage policies for the cluster and is instantiated as StoragePolicy objects are added to the collection when swift.conf is parsed by parse_storage_policies().

When a StoragePolicyCollection is created, the following validation is enforced:

If a policy with index 0 is not declared and no other policies defined, Swift will create one
The policy index must be a non-negative integer
If no policy is declared as the default and no other policies are defined, the policy with index 0 is set as the default
Policy indexes must be unique
Policy names are required
Policy names are case insensitive
Policy names must contain only letters, digits or a dash
Policy names must be unique
The policy name ‘Policy-0’ can only be used for the policy with index 0
If any policies are defined, exactly one policy must be declared default
Deprecated policies can not be declared the default

add_policy_alias(policy_index, *aliases)¶

Parameters:: aliases – arbitrary number of existing policy names to remove.

class swift.common.storage_policy.StoragePolicySingleton¶

Bases: object

An instance of this class is the primary interface to storage policies exposed as a module level global named POLICIES. This global reference wraps _POLICIES which is normally instantiated by parsing swift.conf and will result in an instance of StoragePolicyCollection.

You should never patch this instance directly, instead patch the module level _POLICIES instance so that swift code which imported POLICIES directly will reference the patched StoragePolicyCollection.

swift.common.storage_policy.get_policy_string(base, policy_or_index)¶

Helper function to construct a string from a base and the policy. Used to encode the policy index into either a file name or a directory name by various modules.

Parameters:
