Was a service previously. Now contains both merklet
and the naive implementations. Put construction
timing stuff into the test.
Tests are not truly meaningful yet.
* maybe_gc/2 is triggered at machi_file_proxy, when chunk is deleted
and the file is larger than `max_file_size`
* A file is deleted if all chunks except 1024 bytes header are trimmed
* If a file is going to be deleted, file_proxy notifies metadata_mgr
to remember the filename persistently, whose filename is
`known_files_<FluName>`
* Such trimmed filenames are stored in a machi_plist file per flu
* machi_file_proxy could not be started if the filename is in the
manager's list. Consequently, any write, read and trim operations
cannot happen against deleted file.
* After the file was trimmed, any read request to the file returns
`{error, trimmed}`
* Disclaimer: no tests written yet and machi_plist does not support
any recovery from partial writes.
* Add some thoughts as comments for repairing trims.
* State diagram of every byte is as follows:
```
state\action| write/append | read_chunk | trim_chunk
------------+----------------+------------------+---------------
unwritten | -> written | fail (+repair) | -> trimmed
written | noop or repair | return content | -> trimmed
trimmed | fail | fail | noop
```
* When repairing multiple chunks at once and any of its repair
failed, the whole read request and repair work will fail
* Rename read_repair3 and read_repair4 to do_repair_chunks and
do_repair chunk in machi_file_proxy
* This pull request changes return semantics of read_chunk(), that
returns any chunk included in requested range
* First and last chunk may be cut to fit the requested range
* In machi_file_proxy, unwritten_bytes are removed and replaced by
machi_csum_table
This is simply a change of read_chunk() protocol, where a response of
read_chunk() becomes list of written bytes along with checksum. All
related code including repair is changed as such. This is to pass all
tests and not actually supporting partial chunks.
For debuging from shell, some functions in machi_cinfo are exported:
- public_projection/1
- private_projection/1
- fitness/1
- chain_manager/1
- flu1/1
