class swift.proxy.controllers.base.GetOrHeadHandler(app, req, server_type, node_iter, partition, path, backend_headers, concurrency=1, client_chunk_size=None, newest=None, header_provider=None)

Bases: swift.proxy.controllers.base.ResumingGetter

get_working_response(req)
class swift.proxy.controllers.base.NodeIter(app, ring, partition, node_iter=None, policy=None)

Bases: object

Yields nodes for a ring partition, skipping over error limited nodes and stopping at the configurable number of nodes. If a node yielded subsequently gets error limited, an extra node will be yielded to take its place.

Note that if you’re going to iterate over this concurrently from multiple greenthreads, you’ll want to use a swift.common.utils.GreenthreadSafeIterator to serialize access. Otherwise, you may get ValueErrors from concurrent access. (You also may not, depending on how logging is configured, the vagaries of socket IO and eventlet, and the phase of the moon.)

Parameters

  • app – a proxy app

  • ring – ring to get yield nodes from

  • partition – ring partition to yield nodes for

  • node_iter – optional iterable of nodes to try. Useful if you want to filter or reorder the nodes.

  • policy – an instance of BaseStoragePolicy. This should be None for an account or container ring.

log_handoffs(handoffs)

Log handoff requests if handoff logging is enabled and the handoff was not expected.

We only log handoffs when we’ve pushed the handoff count further than we would normally have expected under normal circumstances, that is (request_node_count - num_primaries), when handoffs goes higher than that it means one of the primaries must have been skipped because of error limiting before we consumed all of our nodes_left.

next()
set_node_provider(callback)

Install a callback function that will be used during a call to next() to get an alternate node instead of returning the next node from the iterator.

Parameters

callback – A no argument function that should return a node dict or None.

class swift.proxy.controllers.base.ResumingGetter(app, req, server_type, node_iter, partition, path, backend_headers, concurrency=1, client_chunk_size=None, newest=None, header_provider=None)

Bases: object

fast_forward(num_bytes)

Will skip num_bytes into the current ranges.

Params num_bytes

the number of bytes that have already been read on this request. This will change the Range header so that the next req will start where it left off.

Raises

  • HTTPRequestedRangeNotSatisfiable – if begin + num_bytes > end of range + 1

  • RangeAlreadyComplete – if begin + num_bytes == end of range + 1

is_good_source(src)

Indicates whether or not the request made to the backend found what it was looking for.

Parameters

src – the response from the backend

Returns

True if found, False if not

property last_headers
property last_status
learn_size_from_content_range(start, end, length)

If client_chunk_size is set, makes sure we yield things starting on chunk boundaries based on the Content-Range header in the response.

Sets our Range header’s first byterange to the value learned from the Content-Range header in the response; if we were given a fully-specified range (e.g. “bytes=123-456”), this is a no-op.

If we were given a half-specified range (e.g. “bytes=123-” or “bytes=-456”), then this changes the Range header to a semantically-equivalent one and it lets us resume on a proper boundary instead of just in the middle of a piece somewhere.

pop_range()

Remove the first byterange from our Range header.

This is used after a byterange has been completely sent to the client; this way, should we need to resume the download from another object server, we do not re-fetch byteranges that the client already has.

If we have no Range header, this is a no-op.

response_parts_iter(req)
swift.proxy.controllers.base.bytes_to_skip(record_size, range_start)

Assume an object is composed of N records, where the first N-1 are all the same size and the last is at most that large, but may be smaller.

When a range request is made, it might start with a partial record. This must be discarded, lest the consumer get bad data. This is particularly true of suffix-byte-range requests, e.g. “Range: bytes=-12345” where the size of the object is unknown at the time the request is made.

This function computes the number of bytes that must be discarded to ensure only whole records are yielded. Erasure-code decoding needs this.

This function could have been inlined, but it took enough tries to get right that some targeted unit tests were desirable, hence its extraction.

swift.proxy.controllers.base.clear_info_cache(app, env, account, container=None)

Clear the cached info in both memcache and env

Parameters

  • app – the application object

  • env – the WSGI environment

Parameters

func – function to check

swift.proxy.controllers.base.delay_denial(func)

Decorator to declare which methods should have any swift.authorize call delayed. This is so the method can load the Request object up with additional information that may be needed by the authorization system.

Parameters

func – function for which authorization will be delayed

swift.proxy.controllers.base.get_account_info(env, app, swift_source=None)

Get the info structure for an account, based on env and app. This is useful to middlewares.

Note

This call bypasses auth. Success does not imply that the request has authorization to the account.

Raises

swift.proxy.controllers.base.get_cache_key(account, container=None, obj=None, shard=None)

Get the keys for both memcache and env[‘swift.infocache’] (cache_key) where info about accounts, containers, and objects is cached

Parameters

  • container – The name of the container (or None if account)

  • obj – The name of the object (or None if account or container)

  • shard – Sharding state for the container query; typically ‘updating’ or ‘listing’ (Requires account and container; cannot use with obj)

Returns

a (native) string cache_key

swift.proxy.controllers.base.get_container_info(env, app, swift_source=None)

Get the info structure for a container, based on env and app. This is useful to middlewares.

Note

This call bypasses auth. Success does not imply that the request has authorization to the container.

swift.proxy.controllers.base.get_info(app, env, account, container=None, swift_source=None)

Get info about accounts or containers

Note: This call bypasses auth. Success does not imply that the

request has authorization to the info.

Parameters

  • env – the environment used by the current request

  • account – The unquoted name of the account

  • container – The unquoted name of the container (or None if account)

Returns

information about the specified entity in a dictionary. See get_account_info and get_container_info for details on what’s in the dictionary.

swift.proxy.controllers.base.get_object_info(env, app, path=None, swift_source=None)

Get the info structure for an object, based on env and app. This is useful to middlewares.

Note

This call bypasses auth. Success does not imply that the request has authorization to the object.

swift.proxy.controllers.base.headers_to_account_info(headers, status_int=200)

Construct a cacheable dict of account info based on response headers.

swift.proxy.controllers.base.headers_to_container_info(headers, status_int=200)

Construct a cacheable dict of container info based on response headers.

swift.proxy.controllers.base.headers_to_object_info(headers, status_int=200)

swift.proxy.controllers.base.set_object_info_cache(app, env, account, container, obj, resp)

Cache object info in the WSGI environment, but not in memcache. Caching in memcache would lead to cache pressure and mass evictions due to the large number of objects in a typical Swift cluster. This is a per-request cache only.

Parameters

  • app – the application object

  • env – the environment used by the current request

  • account – the unquoted account name

  • container – the unquoted container name

iter_nodes_local_first(ring, partition, policy=None, local_handoffs_first=False)

Yields nodes for a ring partition.

If the ‘write_affinity’ setting is non-empty, then this will yield N local nodes (as defined by the write_affinity setting) first, then the rest of the nodes as normal. It is a re-ordering of the nodes such that the local ones come first; no node is omitted. The effect is that the request will be serviced by local object servers first, but nonlocal ones will be employed if not enough local ones are available.

Parameters

  • ring – ring to get nodes from

  • partition – ring partition to yield nodes for

  • policy – optional, an instance of BaseStoragePolicy

  • local_handoffs_first – optional, if True prefer primaries and local handoff nodes first before looking elsewhere.

class swift.proxy.controllers.obj.ECAppIter(path, policy, internal_parts_iters, range_specs, fa_length, obj_length, logger)

Bases: object

WSGI iterable that decodes EC fragment archives (or portions thereof) into the original object (or portions thereof).

Parameters

  • path – object’s path, sans v1 (e.g. /a/c/o)

  • policy – storage policy for this object

  • internal_parts_iters – list of the response-document-parts iterators for the backend GET responses. For an M+K erasure code, the caller must supply M such iterables.

  • range_specs – list of dictionaries describing the ranges requested by the client. Each dictionary contains the start and end of the client’s requested byte range as well as the start and end of the EC segments containing that byte range.

  • fa_length – length of the fragment archive, in bytes, if the response is a 200. If it’s a 206, then this is ignored.

  • obj_length – length of the object, in bytes. Learned from the headers in the GET response from the object server.

  • logger – a logger

app_iter_range(start, end)
app_iter_ranges(ranges, content_type, boundary, content_size)
close()
kickoff(req, resp)

Start pulling data from the backends so that we can learn things like the real Content-Type that might only be in the multipart/byteranges response body. Update our response accordingly.

Also, this is the first point at which we can learn the MIME boundary that our response has in the headers. We grab that so we can also use it in the body.

Returns

None

Raises

HTTPException – on error

class swift.proxy.controllers.obj.ECGetResponseBucket(policy, timestamp_str)

Bases: object

A helper class to encapsulate the properties of buckets in which fragment getters and alternate nodes are collected.

add_alternate_nodes(node, frag_indexes)
add_response(getter, parts_iter)
property durable
get_responses()

Return a list of all useful sources. Where there are multiple sources associated with the same frag_index then only one is included.

Returns

a list of sources, each source being a tuple of form (ResumingGetter, iter)

set_durable()
property shortfall
property shortfall_with_alts
class swift.proxy.controllers.obj.ECGetResponseCollection(policy)

Bases: object

Manages all successful EC GET responses gathered by ResumingGetters.

A response comprises a tuple of (<getter instance>, <parts iterator>). All responses having the same data timestamp are placed in an ECGetResponseBucket for that timestamp. The buckets are stored in the ‘buckets’ dict which maps timestamp-> bucket.

This class encapsulates logic for selecting the best bucket from the collection, and for choosing alternate nodes.

add_response(get, parts_iter)

Add a response to the collection.

Parameters

  • get – An instance of ResumingGetter

  • parts_iter – An iterator over response body parts

Raises

ValueError – if the response etag or status code values do not match any values previously received for the same timestamp

property best_bucket

Return the best bucket in the collection.

The “best” bucket is the newest timestamp with sufficient getters, or the closest to having sufficient getters, unless it is bettered by a bucket with potential alternate nodes.

Returns

An instance of ECGetResponseBucket or None if there are no buckets in the collection.

get_extra_headers()
has_alternate_node()
provide_alternate_node()

Callback function that is installed in a NodeIter. Called on every call to NodeIter.next(), which means we can track the number of nodes to which GET requests have been made and selectively inject an alternate node, if we have one.

Returns

A dict describing a node to which the next GET request should be made.

class swift.proxy.controllers.obj.ECObjectController(app, account_name, container_name, object_name, **kwargs)

policy_type = 'erasure_coding'
class swift.proxy.controllers.obj.MIMEPutter(conn, node, resp, req, connect_duration, watchdog, write_timeout, send_exception_handler, logger, mime_boundary, multiphase=False)

Bases: swift.proxy.controllers.obj.Putter

Putter for backend PUT requests that use MIME.

This is here mostly to wrap up the fact that all multipart PUTs are chunked because of the mime boundary footer trick and the first half of the two-phase PUT conversation handling.

An HTTP PUT request that supports streaming.

classmethod connect(node, part, req, headers, watchdog, conn_timeout, node_timeout, write_timeout, send_exception_handler, logger=None, need_multiphase=True, **kwargs)

Connect to a backend node and send the headers.

Override superclass method to notify object of need for support for multipart body with footers and optionally multiphase commit, and verify object server’s capabilities.

Parameters

need_multiphase – if True then multiphase support is required of the object server

Raises
end_of_object_data(footer_metadata=None)

Call when there is no more data to send.

Overrides superclass implementation to send any footer metadata after object data.

Parameters

footer_metadata – dictionary of metadata items to be sent as footers.

send_commit_confirmation()

Call when there are > quorum 2XX responses received. Send commit confirmations to all object nodes to finalize the PUT.

class swift.proxy.controllers.obj.ObjectControllerRouter

Bases: object

policy_type_to_controller_map = {'erasure_coding': <class 'swift.proxy.controllers.obj.ECObjectController'>, 'replication': <class 'swift.proxy.controllers.obj.ReplicatedObjectController'>}
classmethod register(policy_type)

Decorator for Storage Policy implementations to register their ObjectController implementations.

class swift.proxy.controllers.obj.Putter(conn, node, resp, path, connect_duration, watchdog, write_timeout, send_exception_handler, logger, chunked=False)

Bases: object

Putter for backend PUT requests.

Encapsulates all the actions required to establish a connection with a storage node and stream data to that node.

Parameters

  • conn – an HTTPConnection instance

  • node – dict describing storage node

  • resp – an HTTPResponse instance if connect() received final response

  • path – the object path to send to the storage node

  • connect_duration – time taken to initiate the HTTPConnection

  • watchdog – a spawned Watchdog instance that will enforce timeouts

  • write_timeout – time limit to write a chunk to the connection socket

  • send_exception_handler – callback called when an exception occured writing to the connection socket

  • logger – a Logger instance

  • chunked – boolean indicating if the request encoding is chunked

await_response(timeout, informational=False)

Get 100-continue response indicating the end of 1st phase of a 2-phase commit or the final response, i.e. the one with status >= 200.

Might or might not actually wait for anything. If we said Expect: 100-continue but got back a non-100 response, that’ll be the thing returned, and we won’t do any network IO to get it. OTOH, if we got a 100 Continue response and sent up the PUT request’s body, then we’ll actually read the 2xx-5xx response off the network here.

Parameters

  • timeout – time to wait for a response

  • informational – if True then try to get a 100-continue response, otherwise try to get a final response.

Returns

HTTPResponse

Raises

Timeout – if the response took too long

close()
classmethod connect(node, part, path, headers, watchdog, conn_timeout, node_timeout, write_timeout, send_exception_handler, logger=None, chunked=False, **kwargs)

class swift.proxy.controllers.obj.ReplicatedObjectController(app, account_name, container_name, object_name, **kwargs)

Bases: swift.proxy.controllers.obj.BaseObjectController

policy_type = 'replication'
swift.proxy.controllers.obj.check_content_type(req)
swift.proxy.controllers.obj.chunk_transformer(policy)

A generator to transform a source chunk to erasure coded chunks for each send call. The number of erasure coded chunks is as policy.ec_n_unique_fragments.

swift.proxy.controllers.obj.client_range_to_segment_range(client_start, client_end, segment_size)

Takes a byterange from the client and converts it into a byterange spanning the necessary segments.

Handles prefix, suffix, and fully-specified byte ranges.

Examples:

client_range_to_segment_range(100, 700, 512) = (0, 1023) client_range_to_segment_range(100, 700, 256) = (0, 767) client_range_to_segment_range(300, None, 256) = (256, None)

Parameters

  • client_start – first byte of the range requested by the client

  • client_end – last byte of the range requested by the client

  • segment_size – size of an EC segment, in bytes

Returns

a 2-tuple (seg_start, seg_end) where

  • seg_start is the first byte of the first segment, or None if this is a suffix byte range

  • seg_end is the last byte of the last segment, or None if this is a prefix byte range

swift.proxy.controllers.obj.num_container_updates(container_replicas, container_quorum, object_replicas, object_quorum)

We need to send container updates via enough object servers such that, if the object PUT succeeds, then the container update is durable (either it’s synchronously updated or written to async pendings).

Define:

Qc = the quorum size for the container ring Qo = the quorum size for the object ring Rc = the replica count for the container ring Ro = the replica count (or EC N+K) for the object ring

A durable container update is one that’s made it to at least Qc nodes. To always be durable, we have to send enough container updates so that, if only Qo object PUTs succeed, and all the failed object PUTs had container updates, at least Qc updates remain. Since (Ro - Qo) object PUTs may fail, we must have at least Qc + Ro - Qo container updates to ensure that Qc of them remain.

Also, each container replica is named in at least one object PUT request so that, when all requests succeed, no work is generated for the container replicator. Thus, at least Rc updates are necessary.

Parameters

  • container_replicas – replica count for the container ring (Rc)

  • container_quorum – quorum size for the container ring (Qc)

  • object_replicas – replica count for the object ring (Ro)

  • object_quorum – quorum size for the object ring (Qo)

swift.proxy.controllers.obj.segment_range_to_fragment_range(segment_start, segment_end, segment_size, fragment_size)

Takes a byterange spanning some segments and converts that into a byterange spanning the corresponding fragments within their fragment archives.

Handles prefix, suffix, and fully-specified byte ranges.

Parameters

  • segment_start – first byte of the first segment

  • segment_end – last byte of the last segment

  • segment_size – size of an EC segment, in bytes

  • fragment_size – size of an EC fragment, in bytes

Returns

a 2-tuple (frag_start, frag_end) where

  • frag_start is the first byte of the first fragment, or None if this is a suffix byte range

  • frag_end is the last byte of the last fragment, or None if this is a prefix byte range

swift.proxy.controllers.obj.trailing_metadata(policy, client_obj_hasher, bytes_transferred_from_client, fragment_archive_index)
