💖 SWIFT-OBJECT-RECONSTRUCTOR 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the swift-object-reconstructor page — it's a General Commands Manual entry, section 1, and she is that girl. sit down, get comfy, we're learning the EC object reconstructor 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

swift-object-reconstructor — the OpenStack Swift EC object reconstructor. that's the whole vibe, that's the name, periodt 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

swift-object-reconstructor CONFIG [options]

you give her a CONFIG and then optionally some [options]. iconic behaviour honestly.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so she's a daemon for reconstruction of EC objects. which sounds nerdy but it's actually kind of the main character of this whole story 💜

here's the tea: once a pair of nodes has determined the need to replace a missing object fragment, instead of pushing over a copy like replication would do, the reconstructor has to read in enough surviving fragments from other nodes and perform a local reconstruction before it has the correct data to push to the other node. like, she's not just copying — she's rebuilding the thing first. no cap. it's giving detective who reconstructs the crime scene, but make it erasure coding 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. the icon. 🫶
  • -d DEVICES, --devices=DEVICES — reconstruct only given devices. it's a comma-separated list, bestie. ⚠️ and this only has effect if --once is used. like, no --once, no filtering, them's the rules.
  • -p PARTITIONS, --partitions=PARTITIONS — reconstruct only given partitions. also a comma-separated list. also only has effect if --once is used. same energy, different unit 💫
  • -v, --verbose — log to console. she gets chatty, she tells you everything 🌈
  • -o, --once — only run one pass of daemon. one and done, we love a girl with boundaries ✨
