=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<!!!! PRE-ALPHA ALERT !!!!>

Nothing in here is believed to be stable, nothing yet intended for
public consumption. The plan is to provide a script in one of the next
releases that acts as a frontend for all the backend functionality.
Option and method names will very likely change.

For the rationale see the section BACKGROUND.

This is published only for developers of the (yet to be named)
script(s).

Writer (of a single file):

    use File::Rsync::Mirror::Recentfile;
    my $fr = File::Rsync::Mirror::Recentfile->new
      (
       interval => q(6h),
       filenameroot => "RECENT",
       comment => "These 'RECENT' files are part of a test of a new CPAN mirroring concept. Please ignore them for now.",
       localroot => "/home/ftp/pub/PAUSE/authors/",
       aggregator => [qw(1d 1W 1M 1Q 1Y Z)],
      );
    $rf->update("/home/ftp/pub/PAUSE/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.92_63.tar.gz","new");

Reader/mirrorer:

    my $rf = File::Rsync::Mirror::Recentfile->new
      (
       filenameroot => "RECENT",
       ignore_link_stat_errors => 1,
       interval => q(6h),
       localroot => "/home/ftp/pub/PAUSE/authors",
       remote_dir => "",
       remote_host => "pause.perl.org",
       remote_module => "authors",
       rsync_options => {
                         compress => 1,
                         'rsync-path' => '/usr/bin/rsync',
                         links => 1,
                         times => 1,
                         'omit-dir-times' => 1,
                         checksum => 1,
                        },
       verbose => 1,
      );
    $rf->mirror;

Aggregator (usually the writer):

    my $rf = File::Rsync::Mirror::Recentfile->new_from_file ( $file );
    $rf->aggregate;

=over 4

=item aggregator

A list of interval specs that tell the aggregator which I<recentfile>s
are to be produced.

=item canonize

The name of a method to canonize the path before rsyncing. Only
supported value is C<naive_path_normalize>. Defaults to that.

=item comment

A comment about this tree and setup.

=item filenameroot

The (prefix of the) filename we use for this I<recentfile>. Defaults to
C<RECENT>.

=item ignore_link_stat_errors

If set to true, rsync errors are ignored that complain about link stat
errors. These seem to happen only when there are files missing at the
origin. In race conditions this can always happen, so it is
recommended to set this value to true.

=item locktimeout

After how many seconds shall we die if we cannot lock a I<recentfile>?
Defaults to 600 seconds.

=item loopinterval

When mirror_loop is called, this accessor can specify how much time
every loop shall at least take. If the work of a loop is done before
that time has gone, sleeps for the rest of the time. Defaults to
arbitrary 42 seconds.

=item max_files_per_connection

Maximum number of files that are transferred on a single rsync call.
Setting it higher means higher performance at the price of holding
connections longer and potentially disturbing other users in the pool.
Defaults to the arbitrary value 42.

=item max_rsync_errors

When rsync operations encounter that many errors without any resetting
success in between, then we die. Defaults to -1 which means we run
forever ignoring all rsync errors.

=item protocol

When the RECENT file format changes, we increment the protocol. We try
to support older protocols in later releases.

=item remote_dir

The directory we are mirroring from.

=item remote_host

The host we are mirroring from. Leave empty for the local filesystem.

=item remote_module

Rsync servers have so called modules to separate directory trees from
each other. Put here the name of the module under which we are
mirroring. Leave empty for local filesystem.

=item rsync_options

Things like compress, links, times or checksums. Passed in to the
File::Rsync object used to run the mirror.

=item serializer_suffix

Untested accessor. The only tested format for I<recentfile>s at the
moment is YAML. It is used with YAML::Syck via Data::Serializer. But
in principle other formats are supported as well. See section
SERIALIZERS below.

=item sleep_per_connection

Sleep that many seconds (floating point OK) after every chunk of rsyncing
has finished. Defaults to arbitrary 0.42.

=item verbose

Boolean to turn on a bit verbosity.

=back

=cut

=head1 METHODS

=head2 (void) $obj->aggregate

Takes all intervals that are collected in the accessor called
aggregator. Sorts them by actual length of the interval.
Removes those that are shorter than our own interval. Then merges this
object into the next larger object. The merging continues upwards
as long as the next I<recentfile> is old enough to warrant a merge.

If a merge is warranted is decided according to the interval of the
previous interval so that larger files are not so often updated as
smaller ones.

Here is an example to illustrate the behaviour. Given aggregators

  1h 1d 1W 1M 1Q 1Y Z

then

  1h updates 1d on every call to aggregate()
  1d updates 1W earliest after 1h
  1W updates 1M earliest after 1d
  1M updates 1Q earliest after 1W
  1Q updates 1Y earliest after 1M
  1Y updates  Z earliest after 1Q

Note that all but the smallest recentfile get updated at an arbitrary
rate and as such are quite useless on their own.

=head1 THE ARCHITECTURE OF A COLLECTION OF RECENTFILES

The idea is that we want to have a short file that records really
recent changes. So that a fresh mirror can be kept fresh as long as
the connectivity is given. Then we want longer files that record the
history before. So when the mirror falls behind the update period
reflected in the shortest file, it can switch to the next one. And if
this is not long enough we want another one, again a bit longer. And
we want one that completes the history back to the oldest file. For
practical reasons the timespans of these files must overlap a bit and
to keep the bandwidth necessities low they must not be
updated too frequently. That's the basic idea. The following
example represents a tree that has a few updates every day:

 RECENT-1h.yaml
 RECENT-6h.yaml
 RECENT-1d.yaml
 RECENT-1M.yaml
 RECENT-1W.yaml
 RECENT-1Q.yaml
 RECENT-1Y.yaml
 RECENT-Z.yaml

The last file, the Z file, contains the complementary files that are
in none of the other files. It does never contain C<deletes>. Besides
this it serves the role of a recovery mechanism or spill over pond.
When things go wrong, it's a valuable controlling instance to hold the
differences between the collection of limited interval files and the
actual filesystem.

=head2 A SINGLE RECENTFILE

A I<recentfile> consists of a hash that has two keys: C<meta> and
C<recent>. The C<meta> part has metadata and the C<recent> part has a
list of fileobjects.

=head2 THE META PART

Here we find things that are pretty much self explaining: all
lowercase attributes are accessors and as such explained somewhere
above in this manpage. The uppercase attribute C<Producers> contains
version information about involved software components. Nothing to
worry about as I believe.

=head2 THE RECENT PART

This is the interesting part. Every entry refers to some filesystem
change (with path, epoch, type). The epoch value is the point in time
when some change was I<registered>. Do not be tempted to believe that
the entry has a direct relation to something like modification time or
change time on the filesystem level. The timestamp (I<epoch> element)
is a floating point number and does practically never correspond
exactly to the data recorded in the filesystem but rather to the time
when some process succeeded to report to the I<recentfile> mechanism
that something has changed. This is why many parts of the code refer
to I<events>, because we merely try to record the I<event> of the
discovery of a change, not the time of the change itself.

All these entries can be devided into two types (denoted by the
C<type> attribute): C<new>s and C<delete>s. Changes and creations are
C<new>s. Deletes are C<delete>s.

Another distinction is for objects with an epoch timestamp and others
without. All files that were already existing on the filesystem before
the I<recentfile> mechanism was installed, get recorded with a
timestamp of zero.

Besides an C<epoch> and a C<type> attribute we find a third one:
C<path>. This path is relative to the directory we find the
I<recentfile> in.

The order of the entries in the I<recentfile> is by decreasing epoch
attribute. These are either 0 or a unique floating point number. They
are zero for events that were happening either before the time that
the I<recentfile> mechanism was set up or were left undiscovered for a
while and never handed over to update(). They are floating point
numbers for all events being regularly handed to update(). And when
the server has ntp running correctly, then the timestamps are
actually decreasing and unique.

=head1 CORRUPTION AND RECOVERY

If the origin host breaks the promise to deliver consistent and
complete I<recentfiles> then the way back to sanity shall be achieved
through either the C<zloop> (still TBD) or traditional rsyncing
between the hosts. For example, if the origin server forgets to deploy
ntp and the clock on it jumps backwards some day, then this would
probably go unnoticed for a while and many software components that
rely on the time never running backwards will make wrong decisions.
After some time this accident would probably still be found in one of
the I<recentfiles> but would become meaningless as soon as a mirror
has run through the sanitizing procedures. Same goes for origin hosts
that forget to include or deliberately omit some files.

=head1 SERIALIZERS

The following suffixes are supported and trigger the use of these
serializers:

=over 4

=item C<< ".yaml" => "YAML::Syck" >>

=item C<< ".json" => "JSON" >>

=item C<< ".sto"  => "Storable" >>

=item C<< ".dd"   => "Data::Dumper" >>

BEGIN {
    my @pod_lines = 
        split /\n/, <<'=cut'; %seconds = map { eval } grep {s/^=item\s+C<<(.+)>>$/$1/} @pod_lines; }

=head1 INTERVAL SPEC

An interval spec is a primitive way to express time spans. Normally it
is composed from an integer and a letter.

As a special case, a string that consists only of the single letter
C<Z>, stands for unlimited time.

The following letters express the specified number of seconds:

=over 4

=item C<< s => 1 >>

=item C<< m => 60 >>

=item C<< h => 60*60 >>

=item C<< d => 60*60*24 >>

=item C<< W => 60*60*24*7 >>

=item C<< M => 60*60*24*30 >>

=item C<< Q => 60*60*24*90 >>

=item C<< Y => 60*60*24*365.25 >>

=head1 BACKGROUND

This is about speeding up rsync operation on large trees to many
places. Uses a small metadata cocktail and pull technology.

=head2 COMPETITORS

The problem to solve which clusters and ftp mirrors and otherwise
replicated datasets like CPAN share: how to transfer only a minimum
amount of data to determine the diff between two hosts.

Normally it takes a long time to determine the diff itself before it
can be transferred. Known solutions at the time of this writing are
csync2, and rsync 3 batch mode.

For many years the best solution was csync2 which solves the
problem by maintining a sqlite database on both ends and talking a
highly sophisticated protocol to quickly determine which files to send
and which to delete at any given point in time. Csync2 is often
inconvenient because the act of syncing demands quite an intimate
relationship between the sender and the receiver and suffers when the
number of syncing sites is large or connections are unreliable.

Rsync 3 batch mode works around these problems by providing rsync-able
batch files which allow receiving nodes to replay the history of the
other nodes. This reduces the need to have an incestuous relation but
it has the disadvantage that these batch files replicate the contents
of the involved files. This seems inappropriate when the nodes already
have a means of communicating over rsync.

rersyncrecent solves this problem with a couple of (usually 2-10)
index files which cover different overlapping time intervals. The
master writes these files and the clients can construct the full tree
from the information contained in them. The most recent index file
usually covers the last seconds or minutes or hours of the tree and
depending on the needs, slaves can rsync every few seconds and then
bring their trees in full sync.

The rersyncrecent mode was developed for CPAN but I hope it is a
convenient and economic general purpose solution. I'm looking forward
to see a CPAN backbone that is only a few seconds behind PAUSE. And
then ... the first FUSE based CPAN filesystem anyone?
