Dropping from a cluster drops from every node of the cluster.
Including nodes that the cluster does not think have the content.
This is different from GET and CHECKPRESENT, which do trust the
cluster's location log. The difference is that removing from a cluster
should make 100% the content is gone from every node. So doing extra
work is ok. Compare with CHECKPRESENT where checking every node could
make it very expensive, and the worst that can happen in a false
negative is extra work being done.
Extended the P2P protocol with FAILURE-PLUS to handle the case where a
drop from one node succeeds, but a drop from another node fails. In that
case the entire cluster drop has failed.
Note that SUCCESS-PLUS is returned when dropping from a proxied remote
that is not a cluster, when the protocol version supports it. This is
because P2P.Proxy does not know when it's proxying for a single node
cluster vs for a remote that is not a cluster.
Client side support for SUCCESS-PLUS and ALREADY-HAVE-PLUS
is complete, when a PUT stores to additional repositories
than the expected on, the location log is updated with the
additional UUIDs that contain the content.
Started implementing PUT fanout to multiple remotes for clusters.
It is untested, and I fear fencepost errors in the relative
offset calculations. And it is missing proxying for the protocol
after DATA.
CONNECT is not supported by git-annex-shell p2pstdio, but for proxying
to tor-annex remotes, it will be supported, and will make a git pull/push
to a proxied remote work the same with that as it does over ssh,
eg it accesses the proxy's git repo not the proxied remote's git repo.
The p2p protocol docs say that NOTIFYCHANGES is not always supported,
and it looked annoying to implement it for this, and it also seems
pretty useless, so make it be a protocol error. git-annex remotedaemon
will already be getting change notifications from the proxy's git repo,
so there's no need to get additional redundant change notifications for
proxied remotes that would be for changes to the same git repo.
Added to git-annex_proxies todo because this is something OpenNeuro
would need in order to use the git-annex proxy.
