An interrupted PUT to cluster that has a node that is a special remote
over http left open the connection to the cluster, so the next request
opens another one. So did an interrupted PUT directly to the proxied
special remote over http.
proxySpecialRemote was stuck waiting for all the DATA. Its connection
remained open so it kept waiting.
In servePut, checktooshort handles closing the P2P connection
when too short a data is received from PUT. But, checktooshort was only
called after the protoaction, which is what runs the proxy, which is
what was getting stuck. Modified it to run as a background thread,
which waits for the tooshortv to be written to, which gather always does
once it gets to the end of the data received from the http client.
That makes proxyConnection's releaseconn run once all data is received
from the http client. Made it close the connection handles before
waiting on the asyncworker thread. This lets proxySpecialRemote finish
processing any data from the handle, and then it will give up,
more or less cleanly, if it didn't receive enough data.
I say "more or less cleanly" because with both sides of the P2P
connection taken down, some protocol unhappyness results. Which can lead
to some ugly debug messages. But also can cause the asyncworker thread
to throw an exception. So made withP2PConnections not crash when it
receives an exception from releaseconn.
This did have a small change to the behavior of an interrupted PUT when
proxying to a regular remote. proxyConnection has a protoerrorhandler
that closes the proxy connection on a protocol error. But the proxy
connection is also closed by checktooshort when it closes the P2P
connection. Closing the same proxy connection twice is not a problem,
it just results in duplicated debug messages about it.
As seen in commit 770aac97a7, a cluster
relies accurate location logs. If long-running processes are serving a
cluster, and one process puts a file, the other process needs to see
what nodes it was stored on when checking if the file is present.
Wired it up and it seems to basically work, although the test suite is
not fully passing.
Note that --jobs currently gets multiplied by the number of nodes in the
cluster, which is probably not good.
removeOldestProxyConnectionPool will be innefficient the larger the pool
is. A better data structure could be more efficient. Eg, make each value
in the pool include the timestamp of its oldest element, then the oldest
value can be found and modified, rather than rebuilding the whole Map.
But, for pools of a few hundred items, this should be fine. It's O(n*n log n)
or so.
Also, when more than 1 connection with the same pool key exists,
it's efficient even for larger pools, since removeOldestProxyConnectionPool
is not needed.
The default of 1 idle connection could perhaps be larger.. like the
number of jobs? Otoh, it seems good to ramp up and down the number of
connections, which does happen. With 1, there is at most one stale
connection, which might cause a request to fail.
There was an annex worker thread that did not get stopped.
It was stuck in ReceiveMessage from the P2PHandleTMVar.
Fixed by making P2PHandleTMVar closeable.
In serveGet, releaseP2PConnection has to come first, else the
annexworker may not shut down, if it's waiting to read from it.
In proxyConnection, call closeRemoteSide in order to wait for the ssh
process (for example).
The proxy always checks the protocol version of a remote before talking
to it in a version-specific way, so the protocol version in the ProxyParams
is the client's protocol version. The remote will always be at the same or
an older protocol version than the client.
Note that in relayDATAFinish, when the client is at protocol version 0,
the remote must thus be as well, and that's why its version is not
checked in the case for that.
With that clarified, it's evident that, in P2P.Http.State, there's no
need to look at the proxied remote's protocol version at all.
Refactored git-annex-shell code so this can use checkCanProxy'.
At this point all that remains is opening a proxy connection,
and using a proxy connection.
The user doesn't want to see a uuid in the prompt.
Also, when a http server is proxying, multiple remotes will have the
same base url, and the same password will work for them all.
But, it's buggy: the server hangs without processing the VALIDITY,
and I can't seem to work out why. As far as I can see, storefile
is getting as far as running the validitycheck, which is supposed to
read that, but never does.
This is especially strange because what seems like the same protocol
doesn't hang when servePut runs it. This made me think that it needed
to use inAnnexWorker to be more like servePut, but that didn't help.
Another small problem with this is that it does create an empty
.git/annex/tmp/ file for the key. Since this will usually be used in
combination with servePut, that doesn't seem worth worrying about much.
This means that when the client sends a truncated data to indicate
invalidity, DATA is not passed the full expected data. That leaves the
P2P connection in a state where it cannot be reused. While so far, they
are not reused, they will be later when proxies are supported. So, have
to close the P2P connection in this situation.
Made the data-length header required even for v0. This simplifies the
implementation, and doesn't preclude extra verification being done for
v0.
The connectionWaitVar is an ugly hack. In servePut, nothing waits
on the waitvar, and I could not find a good way to make anything wait on
it.
