33             =head1 SYNOPSIS
34              
35             The documentation in here is normally not needed because the code is
36             considered to be run from several standalone programs. For a quick
37             overview, see the file README.mirrorcpan and the bin/ directory of the
38             distribution. For the architectural ideas see the section THE
39             ARCHITECTURE OF A COLLECTION OF RECENTFILES below.
40              
41             File::Rsync::Mirror::Recent establishes a view on a collection of
42             File::Rsync::Mirror::Recentfile objects and provides abstractions
43             spanning multiple time intervals associated with those.
44

50              
51             =head2 my $obj = CLASS->new(%hash)
52              
53             Constructor. On every argument pair the key is a method name and the
54             value is an argument to that method name.

1026             =head1 THE ARCHITECTURE OF A COLLECTION OF RECENTFILES
1027              
1028             The idea is that we want to have a short file that records really
1029             recent changes. So that a fresh mirror can be kept fresh as long as
1030             the connectivity is given. Then we want longer files that record the
1031             history before. So when the mirror falls behind the update period
1032             reflected in the shortest file, it can complement the list of recent
1033             file events with the next one. And if this is not long enough we want
1034             another one, again a bit longer. And we want one that completes the
1035             history back to the oldest file. The index files together do contain
1036             the complete list of current files. The longer a period covered by an
1037             index file is gone the less often the index file is updated. For
1038             practical reasons adjacent files will often overlap a bit but this is
1039             neither necessary nor enforced. Enforced is only that there must not
1040             ever be a gap between two adjacent index files that would have to
1041             contain a file reference. That's the basic idea. The following example
1042             represents a tree that has a few updates every day:
1043              
1044             RECENT.recent -> RECENT-1h.yaml
1045             RECENT-1h.yaml
1046             RECENT-6h.yaml
1047             RECENT-1d.yaml
1048             RECENT-1M.yaml
1049             RECENT-1W.yaml
1050             RECENT-1Q.yaml
1051             RECENT-1Y.yaml
1052             RECENT-Z.yaml
1053              
1054             Each of these files represents a contract to hold a record for every
1055             filesystem event within the period indicated in the filename.
1056              
1057             The first file is the principal file, in so far it is the one that is
1058             written first after a filesystem change. Usually a symlink links to it
1059             with a filename that has the same filenameroot and the suffix
1060             C<.recent>. On systems that do not support symlinks there is a plain
1061             copy maintained instead.
1062              
1063             The last file, the Z file, contains the complementary files that are
1064             in none of the other files. It may contain C events but often
1065             C events are discarded at the transition to the Z file.

1067             =head2 SITE SEEING TOUR
1068              
1069             This section illustrates the operation of a server-client couple in a
1070             fictious installation that has to deal with a long time of inactivity.
1071             I think such an edge case installation demonstrates the economic
1072             behaviour of our model of overlapping time slices best.
1073              
1074             The sleeping beauty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_Beauty) is
1075             a classic fairytale of a princess sleeping for a hundred years. The
1076             story inspired the test case 02-aurora.t.
1077              
1078             Given an upstream server where the people stop feeding new files for
1079             one hundred years. That upstream server has no driving energy to do
1080             major changes to its RECENT files. Cronjobs will continue to shift
1081             things towards the Z file but soon will stop doing so since all of
1082             them have to keep their promise to record files covering a certain
1083             period. Soon all RECENT files will cover exactly their native period.
1084              
1085             Downstream servers will stubbornly ask their question to the rsync
1086             server whether there is a newer RECENT.recent. As soon as the smallest
1087             RECENT file has reached the state of maximum possible merge with the
1088             second smallest RECENT file, the answer of the rsync server will
1089             always be: nothing new. And downstream servers that were uptodate on
1090             the previous request will be satisfied and do nothing. Never will they
1091             request a download. The answer that there is no change is sufficient
1092             to determine that there is no change in the whole tree.
1093              
1094             Let's presume the smallest RECENT file on this castle is a 1h file and
1095             downstream decides to ask every 30 minutes. Now the hundred years are
1096             over and upstream starts producing files again. One file every minute.
1097             After one minute it will move old files over to the, say, 1d file. In
1098             the next sixty minutes it will not be allowed to move any other file
1099             over to the 1d file. At some point in time downstream will ask the
1100             obligatory question "anything new?" and it will get the current 1h
1101             file. It will recognize in the meta part of the current file which
1102             timestamps have been moved to the 1d file, it will recognize that it
1103             has all those. It will have no need to download the 1d file, it will
1104             download the missing files and be done. No second RECENT file needs to
1105             be downloaded.
1106              
1107             Downstream only decides to download another RECENT file when not doing
1108             so would result in a gap between two recent files. Such that
1109             consistency checks would become impossible. Or for potentially
1110             interested third parties, like down-down-stream servers.
1111              
1112             Downloads of RECENT files are subject to rsync optimizations in that
1113             rsync does some level of blockwise checksumming that is considered
1114             efficient to avoid copying blocks of data that have not changed. Our
1115             format is that of an ordered array, so that large blocks stay constant
1116             when elements are prepended to the array. This means we usually do not
1117             have to rsync full RECENT files. Only if they are really small, the
1118             rsync algorithm will not come into play but that's OK for small files.
1119              
1120             Upstream servers are extremely lazy in writing the larger files. See
1121             File::Rsync::Mirror::Recentfile::aggregate() for the specs. Long
1122             before the one hundred years are over, the upstream server will stop
1123             changing files. Slowly everything that existed before upstream fell
1124             asleep trickles into the Z file. Say, the second-largest RECENT file
1125             is a 1Y file and the third-largest RECENT file is a 1Q file, then it
1126             will take at least one quarter of a year that the 1Y file will be
1127             merged into the Z file. From that point in time everything will have
1128             been merged into the Z file and the server's job to call C
1129             regularly will become a noop. Consequently downstream will never again
1130             download anything. Just the obligatory question: anything new?
1131              
1132             =head2 THE INDIVIDUAL RECENTFILE
1133              
1134             A I consists of a hash that has two keys: C and
1135             C. The C part has metadata and the C part has a
1136             list of fileobjects.
1137              
1138             =head2 THE META PART
1139              
1140             Here we find things that are pretty much self explaining: all
1141             lowercase attributes are accessors and as such explained in the
1142             manpages. The uppercase attribute C contains version
1143             information about involved software components.
1144              
1145             Even though the lowercase attributes are documented in the
1146             F:R:M:Recentfile manpage, let's focus on the important stuff to make
1147             sure nothing goes by unnoticed: meta contains the aggregator levels in
1148             use in this installation, in other words the names of the RECENT
1149             files, eg:
1150              
1151             aggregator:
1152             - 3s
1153             - 8s
1154             - 21s
1155             - 55s
1156             - Z
1157              
1158             It contains a dirtymark telling us the timestamp of the last protocol
1159             violation of the upstream server:
1160              
1161             dirtymark: '1325093856.49272'
1162              
1163             Plus a few things convenient in a situation where we need to do some
1164             debugging.
1165              
1166             And it contains information about which timestamp is the maximum
1167             timestamp in the neighboring file. This is probably the most important
1168             data in meta:
1169              
1170             merged:
1171             epoch: 1307159461.94575
1172              
1173             This keeps track of the highest epoch we would find if we looked into
1174             the next RECENT file.
1175              
1176             Another entry is the minmax, eg:
1177              
1178             minmax:
1179             max: 1307161441.97444
1180             min: 1307140103.70322
1181              
1182             The merged/epoch and minmax examples above illustrate one case of an
1183             overlap (130715... is between 130716... and 130714...). The syncing
1184             strategy for the client is in general the imperative: if the interval
1185             covered by a recentfile (minmax) and the interval covered by the next
1186             higher recentfile (merged/epoch) do not overlap anymore, then it is
1187             time to refresh the next recentfile.
1188              
1189             =head2 THE RECENT PART
1190              
1191             This is the interesting part. Every entry refers to some filesystem
1192             change (with path, epoch, type).
1193              
1194             The I value is the point in time when some change was
1195             I but can be set to arbitrary values. Do not be tempted to
1196             believe that the entry has a direct relation to something like
1197             modification time or change time on the filesystem level. They are not
1198             reflecting release dates. (If you want exact release dates: Barbie is
1199             providing a database of them. See
1200             http://use.perl.org/~barbie/journal/37907).
1201              
1202             All these entries can be devided into two types (denoted by the
1203             I attribute): Cs and Cs. Changes and creations are
1204             Cs. Deletes are Cs.
1205              
1206             Besides an I and a I attribute we find a third one:
1207             I. This path is relative to the directory we find the
1208             I in.
1209              
1210             The order of the entries in the I is by decreasing epoch
1211             attribute. These are unique floating point numbers. When the server
1212             has ntp running correctly, then the timestamps are usually reflecting
1213             a real epoch. If time is running backwards, we trump the system epoch
1214             with strictly monotonically increasing floating point timestamps and
1215             guarantee they are unique.
1216              
1217             =head1 CORRUPTION AND RECOVERY
1218              
1219             If the origin host breaks the promise to deliver consistent and
1220             complete I then it must update its C and all
1221             slaves must discard what they cosider the truth.
1222              
1223             In the worst case that something goes wrong despite the dirtymark
1224             mechanism the way back to sanity can be achieved through traditional
1225             rsyncing between the hosts. But please be wary doing that: mixing
1226             traditional rsync and the F:R:M:R technique can lead to gratuitous
1227             extra errors. If you're the last host in a chain, there's nobody you
1228             can disturb, but if you have downstream clients, it is possible that
1229             rsync copies a RECENT file before the contained files are actually
1230             available.
1231              
1232             =head1 BACKGROUND
1233              
1234             This is about speeding up rsync operation on large trees. Uses a small
1235             metadata cocktail and pull technology.
1236              
1237             rersyncrecent solves this problem with a couple of (usually 2-10)
1238             lightweight index files which cover different overlapping time
1239             intervals. The master writes these files and the clients/slaves can
1240             construct the full tree from the information contained in them. The
1241             most recent index file usually covers the last seconds or minutes or
1242             hours of the tree and depending on the needs, slaves can rsync every
1243             few seconds or minutes and then bring their trees in full sync.
1244              
1245             The rersyncrecent model was developed for CPAN but as it is both
1246             convenient and economic it is also a general purpose solution. I'm
1247             looking forward to see a CPAN backbone that is only a few seconds
1248             behind PAUSE.

1263              
1264             =head2 COMPETITORS
1265              
1266             The problem to solve which clusters and ftp mirrors and otherwise
1267             replicated datasets like CPAN share: how to transfer only a minimum
1268             amount of data to determine the diff between two hosts.
1269              
1270             Normally it takes a long time to determine the diff itself before it
1271             can be transferred. Known solutions at the time of this writing are
1272             csync2, and rsync 3 batch mode.
1273              
1274             For many years the best solution was B which solves the
1275             problem by maintaining a sqlite database on both ends and talking a
1276             highly sophisticated protocol to quickly determine which files to send
1277             and which to delete at any given point in time. Csync2 is often
1278             inconvenient because it is push technology and the act of syncing
1279             demands quite an intimate relationship between the sender and the
1280             receiver. This is hard to achieve in an environment of loosely coupled
1281             sites where the number of sites is large or connections are unreliable
1282             or network topology is changing.
1283              
1284             B works around these problems by providing
1285             rsync-able batch files which allow receiving nodes to replay the
1286             history of the other nodes. This reduces the need to have an
1287             incestuous relation but it has the disadvantage that these batch files
1288             replicate the contents of the involved files. This seems inappropriate
1289             when the nodes already have a means of communicating over rsync.
1290              
1291             =head2 HONORABLE MENTION
1292              
1293             B at https://fedorahosted.org/InstantMirror/ is an
1294             ambitious project that tries to combine various technologies (squid,
1295             bittorrent) to overcome the current slowness with the main focus on
1296             fedora. It's been founded in 2009-03 and at the time of this writing
1297             it is still a bit early to comment on.
1298              
1299             =head1 LIMITATIONS
1300              
1301             If the tree of the master server is changing faster than the bandwidth
1302             permits to mirror then additional protocols may need to be deployed.
1303             Certainly p2p/bittorrent can help in such situations because
1304             downloading sites help each other and bittorrent chunks large files
1305             into pieces.
1306              
1307             =head1 INOTIFY
1308              
1309             Currently the origin server has two options. The traditional one is to
1310             strictly keep track of injected and removed files through all involved
1311             processes and call C on every file system event. The other
1312             option is to let data come in and use the assistance of inotify. PAUSE
1313             is running the former, the cpan master site is running the latter.
1314             Both work equally well for CPAN because CPAN has not yet had any
1315             problem with upload storms. On installations that have to deal with
1316             more uploaded data than inotify+rrr can handle it's better to use the
1317             traditional method such that the relevant processes can build up some
1318             backpressure to throttle writing processes until we're ready to accept
1319             the next data chunk.
1320
