Since the annex-tracking-branch is pushed first, git-annex has already
updated the export database when the DATA-PRESENT arrives. Which means
that just using checkPresent is enough to verify that there is some file
on the special remote in the export location for the key.
So, the simplest possible implementation of this happened to work!
(I also tested it with chunked specialremotes, which also works, as long
as the chunk size used is the same as the configured chunk size. In that
case, the lack of a chunk log is not a problem. Doubtful this will ever
make sense to use with a chunked special remote though, that gets pretty
deep into re-implementing git-annex.)
Updated the client side upload tip with a missing step, and reorged for clarity.
I anticipate lots of external special remote programs will neglect
implementing this. Still, it's the right thing to do to assume that some
of them may write files out of order. Probably most external special
remotes will not be used with a proxy. When someone is using one with a
proxy, they can always get it fixed to send ORDERED.
The problem was that when the proxy requests a key be retrieved to its
own temp file, fileRetriever was retriving it to the key's temp
location, and then moving it at the end, which broke streaming.
So, plumb through the path where the key is being retrieved to.
Currently works for special remotes that don't use fileRetriever. Ones that
do will download to another filename and rename it into place, defeating
the streaming.
This actually benchmarks slightly slower when getting a large file from
a fast proxied special remote. However, when the proxied special remote
is slow, it will be a big win.
This didn't work. In case I want to revisit, here's what I tried.

Without actually simulating cluster implementation at all. Instead, only
the essential fact that cluster gateways know what changes they have
made to each node of a cluster. That is enough for sims like
sizebalanced_cluster.
Noticed that it was quite slow compared with things like action
sendwanted. Guessed that the slowdown is largely due to every step
doing a simulated git pull/push.
So, rather than always doing a pull/push, only do those when no actions
are found without doing a pull/push.
This does mean that step will sometimes experience a split brain
situation, but that seems like a good thing? Because step ought to
explore as many possible scenarios as it reasonably can.
This demonstrates concurrent behavior that looks right. And with a
random seed, the results are deterministic.

When getting from a remote, have to check that the repo doing the
getting thinks the remote contains the key, but also that the remote
actually does. Before this bug fix, it would get from a repo that used
to have the key, but that had dropped it since the last git pull.
Reorganized the reposize database directory, and split up a column.
checkStaleSizeChanges needs to run before needLiveUpdate,
otherwise the process won't be holding a lock on its pid file, and
another process could go in and expire the live update it records. It
just so happens that they do get called in the correct order, since
checking balanced preferred content calls getLiveRepoSizes before
needLiveUpdate.
The 1 minute delay between checks is arbitrary, but will avoid excess
work. The downside of it is that, if a process is dropping a file and
gets interrupted, for 1 minute another process can expect a repository
will soon be smaller than it is. And so a process might send data to a
repository when a file is not really going to be dropped from it. But
note that can already happen if a drop takes some time in eg locking and
then fails. So it seems possible that live updates should only be
allowed to increase, rather than decrease the size of a repository.
Only when the preferred content expression being matched uses balanced
preferred content is this overhead needed.
It might be possible to eliminate the locking entirely. Eg, check the
live changes before and after the action and re-run if they are not
stable. For now, this is good enough, it avoids existing preferred
content getting slow. If balanced preferred content turns out to be too
slow to check, that could be tried later.
