5 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | ------------ |
6 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
7 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | Pithos is a storage service implemented by GRNET (http://www.grnet.gr). Data is stored as objects, organized in containers, belonging to an account. This hierarchy of storage layers has been inspired by the OpenStack Object Storage (OOS) API and similar CloudFiles API by Rackspace. The Pithos API follows the OOS API as closely as possible. One of the design requirements has been to be able to use Pithos with clients built for the OOS, without changes. |
8 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
9 | 3ab38c43 | Antony Chazapis | However, to be able to take full advantage of the Pithos infrastructure, client software should be aware of the extensions that differentiate Pithos from OOS. Pithos objects can be updated, or appended to. Pithos will store sharing permissions per object and enforce corresponding authorization policies. Automatic version management, allows taking account and container listings back in time, as well as reading previous instances of objects. |
10 | e9285524 | Antony Chazapis | |
11 | c9af0703 | Antony Chazapis | The storage backend of Pithos is block oriented, permitting efficient, deduplicated data placement. The block structure of objects is exposed at the API layer, in order to encourage external software to implement advanced data management operations. |
12 | e9285524 | Antony Chazapis | |
13 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | This document's goals are: |
14 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
15 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Define the Pithos ReST API that allows the storage and retrieval of data and metadata via HTTP calls |
16 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Specify metadata semantics and user interface guidelines for a common experience across client software implementations |
17 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
18 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | The present document is meant to be read alongside the OOS API documentation. Thus, it is suggested that the reader is familiar with associated technologies, the OOS API as well as the first version of the Pithos API. This document refers to the second version of Pithos. Information on the first version of the storage API can be found at http://code.google.com/p/gss. |
19 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
20 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | Whatever marked as to be determined (**TBD**), should not be considered by implementors. |
21 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |

82 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | Pithos Users and Authentication |
83 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | ------------------------------- |
84 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | |
85 | 0a8bf8fb | Antony Chazapis | In Pithos, each user is uniquely identified by a token. All API requests require a token and each token is internally resolved to an account string. The API uses the account string to identify the user's own files, thus whether a request is local or cross-account. |
86 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | |
87 | 0a8bf8fb | Antony Chazapis | Pithos does not keep a user database. For development and testing purposes, user identifiers and their corresponding tokens can be defined in the settings file. However, Pithos is designed with an external authentication service in mind. This service must handle the details of validating user credentials and communicate with Pithos via a middleware software component that, given a token, fills in the internal request account variable. |
88 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | |
89 | 0a8bf8fb | Antony Chazapis | Client software using Pithos, if not already knowing a user's identifier and token, should forward to the ``/login`` URI. The Pithos server, depending on its configuration will redirect to the appropriate login page. |
90 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | |
91 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | The login URI accepts the following parameters: |
92 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | |
93 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | ====================== ========================= |
94 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | Request Parameter Name Value |
95 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | ====================== ========================= |
96 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | next The URI to redirect to when the process is finished |
97 | f9f15f92 | Antony Chazapis | renew Force token renewal (no value parameter) |
98 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | ====================== ========================= |
99 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | |
100 | 0a8bf8fb | Antony Chazapis | When done with logging in, the service's login URI should redirect to the URI provided with ``next``, adding ``user`` and ``token`` parameters, which contain the account and token fields respectively. |
101 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | |
102 | 0a8bf8fb | Antony Chazapis | A user management service that implements a login URI according to these conventions is Astakos (https://code.grnet.gr/projects/astakos), by GRNET. |

104 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | The Pithos API |
105 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | -------------- |
106 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
107 | c9af0703 | Antony Chazapis | The URI requests supported by the Pithos API follow one of the following forms: |
108 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
109 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Top level: ``https://hostname/v1/`` |
110 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Account level: ``https://hostname/v1/<account>`` |
111 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Container level: ``https://hostname/v1/<account>/<container>`` |
112 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Object level: ``https://hostname/v1/<account>/<container>/<object>`` |
113 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
114 | 45c60f99 | Antony Chazapis | All requests must include an ``X-Auth-Token`` - as a header, or a parameter. |
115 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
116 | e9285524 | Antony Chazapis | The allowable request operations and respective return codes per level are presented in the remainder of this chapter. Common to all requests are the following return codes. |

If no such headers are defined, no changes will be applied to sharing/public. Use empty values to remove permissions/unpublish (unpublishing also works with ``false`` as a header value). Sharing options are applied to the object - not its versions. |

967 | ab2e317e | Antony Chazapis | * If the data is supplied in the request (using ``Content-Type`` instead of ``X-Source-Object``), a valid ``Content-Length`` header is required - except if using chunked transfers (set ``Transfer-Encoding`` to ``chunked``). |
968 | e9285524 | Antony Chazapis | * Set ``Content-Range`` as specified in RFC2616, with the following differences: |
969 | e9285524 | Antony Chazapis | |
970 | e9285524 | Antony Chazapis | * Client software MAY omit ``last-byte-pos`` of if the length of the range being transferred is unknown or difficult to determine. |
971 | e9285524 | Antony Chazapis | * Client software SHOULD not specify the ``instance-length`` (use a ``*``), unless there is a reason for performing a size check at the server. |
972 | ab2e317e | Antony Chazapis | * If ``Content-Range`` used has a ``byte-range-resp-spec = *``, data will be appended to the object. |
973 | e9285524 | Antony Chazapis | |
974 | 1495b972 | Antony Chazapis | Optionally, truncate the updated object to the desired length with the ``X-Object-Bytes`` header. |
975 | 1495b972 | Antony Chazapis | |

1047 | 3ab38c43 | Antony Chazapis | |
1048 | 3ab38c43 | Antony Chazapis | Read and write control in Pithos is managed by setting appropriate permissions with the ``X-Object-Sharing`` header. The permissions are applied using prefix-based inheritance. Thus, each set of authorization directives is applied to all objects sharing the same prefix with the object where the corresponding ``X-Object-Sharing`` header is defined. For simplicity, nested/overlapping permissions are not allowed. Setting ``X-Object-Sharing`` will fail, if the object is already "covered", or another object with a longer common-prefix name already has permissions. When retrieving an object, the ``X-Object-Shared-By`` header reports where it gets its permissions from. If not present, the object is the actual source of authorization directives. |
1049 | c9af0703 | Antony Chazapis | |
1050 | 067cf1fc | Antony Chazapis | A user may ``GET`` another account or container. The result will include a limited reply, containing only the allowed containers or objects respectively. A top-level request with an authentication token, will return a list of allowed accounts, so the user can easily find out which other users share objects. The ``X-Object-Allowed-To`` header lists the actions allowed on an object, if it does not belong to the requesting user. |
1051 | f6c97079 | Antony Chazapis | |
1052 | f6c97079 | Antony Chazapis | Objects that are marked as public, via the ``X-Object-Public`` meta, are also available at the corresponding URI returned for ``HEAD`` or ``GET``. Requests for public objects do not need to include an ``X-Auth-Token``. Pithos will ignore request parameters and only include the following headers in the reply (all ``X-Object-*`` meta is hidden): |

1068 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | Summary |
1069 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | ^^^^^^^ |
1070 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1071 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | List of differences from the OOS API: |
1072 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1073 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Support for ``X-Account-Meta-*`` style headers at the account level. Use ``POST`` to update. |
1074 | 3ab38c43 | Antony Chazapis | * Support for ``X-Container-Meta-*`` style headers at the container level. Can be set when creating via ``PUT``. Use ``POST`` to update. |
1075 | f5ed44df | Antony Chazapis | * Header ``X-Container-Object-Meta`` at the container level and parameter ``meta`` in container listings. (**TBD**) |
1076 | 647a5f48 | Antony Chazapis | * Account and container policies to manage behavior and limits. Container behavior overrides account settings. Account quota sets the maximum bytes limit, regardless of container values. |
1077 | 6bc372a4 | Antony Chazapis | * Headers ``X-Container-Block-*`` at the container level, exposing the underlying storage characteristics. |
1078 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * All metadata replies, at all levels, include latest modification information. |
1079 | a8326bef | Antony Chazapis | * At all levels, a ``HEAD`` or ``GET`` request may use ``If-Modified-Since`` and ``If-Unmodified-Since`` headers. |
1080 | 690747fe | Antony Chazapis | * Container/object lists include all associated metadata if the reply is of type JSON/XML. Some names are kept to their OOS API equivalents for compatibility. |
1081 | b18ef3ad | Antony Chazapis | * Option to include only shared containers/objects in listings. |
1082 | 3ab38c43 | Antony Chazapis | * Object metadata allowed, in addition to ``X-Object-Meta-*``: ``Content-Encoding``, ``Content-Disposition``, ``X-Object-Manifest``. These are all replaced with every update operation, except if using the ``update`` parameter (in which case individual keys can also be deleted). Deleting meta by providing empty values also works when copying/moving an object. |
1083 | 1d5c57d3 | Antony Chazapis | * Multi-range object ``GET`` support as outlined in RFC2616. |
1084 | 1d5c57d3 | Antony Chazapis | * Object hashmap retrieval through ``GET`` and the ``format`` parameter. |
1085 | 1d5c57d3 | Antony Chazapis | * Object create via hashmap through ``PUT`` and the ``format`` parameter. |
1086 | 4a1c29ea | Antony Chazapis | * The object's Merkle hash is always returned in the ``X-Object-Hash`` header. |
1087 | 37bee317 | Antony Chazapis | * The object's UUID is always returned in the ``X-Object-UUID`` header. The UUID remains unchanged, even when the object's data or metadata changes, or the object is moved to another path (is renamed). A new UUID is assigned when creating or copying an object. |
1088 | 1d5c57d3 | Antony Chazapis | * Object create using ``POST`` to support standard HTML forms. |
1089 | dfb28993 | chazapis | * Partial object updates through ``POST``, using the ``Content-Length``, ``Content-Type``, ``Content-Range`` and ``Transfer-Encoding`` headers. Use another object's data to update with ``X-Source-Object`` and ``X-Source-Version``. Truncate with ``X-Object-Bytes``. |
1090 | 7dd293a0 | Antony Chazapis | * Include new version identifier in replies for object replace/change requests. |
1091 | 53cff70c | Antony Chazapis | * Object ``MOVE`` support and ``ignore_content_type`` parameter in both ``COPY`` and ``MOVE``. |
1092 | a8326bef | Antony Chazapis | * Conditional object create/update operations, using ``If-Match`` and ``If-None-Match`` headers. |
1093 | c9af0703 | Antony Chazapis | * Time-variant account/container listings via the ``until`` parameter. |
1094 | 1d5c57d3 | Antony Chazapis | * Object versions - parameter ``version`` in ``HEAD``/``GET`` (list versions with ``GET``), ``X-Object-Version-*`` meta in replies, ``X-Source-Version`` in ``PUT``/``COPY``. |
1095 | 067cf1fc | Antony Chazapis | * Sharing/publishing with ``X-Object-Sharing``, ``X-Object-Public`` at the object level. Cross-user operations are allowed - controlled by sharing directives. Available actions in cross-user requests are reported with ``X-Object-Allowed-To``. Permissions may include groups defined with ``X-Account-Group-*`` at the account level. These apply to the object - not its versions. |
1096 | 3ab38c43 | Antony Chazapis | * Support for prefix-based inheritance when enforcing permissions. Parent object carrying the authorization directives is reported in ``X-Object-Shared-By``. |
1097 | 79bb41b7 | Antony Chazapis | * Copy and move between accounts with ``X-Source-Account`` and ``Destination-Account`` headers. |
1098 | 8cb45c13 | Antony Chazapis | * Large object support with ``X-Object-Manifest``. |
1099 | 104626e3 | Antony Chazapis | * Trace the user that created/modified an object with ``X-Object-Modified-By``. |
1100 | 81f947fd | Antony Chazapis | * Purge container/object history with the ``until`` parameter in ``DELETE``. |
1101 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1102 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | Clarifications/suggestions: |
1103 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1104 | 88283e9e | Antony Chazapis | * All non-ASCII characters in headers should be URL-encoded. |
1105 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Authentication is done by another system. The token is used in the same way, but it is obtained differently. The top level ``GET`` request is kept compatible with the OOS API and allows for guest/testing operations. |
1106 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Some processing is done in the variable part of all ``X-*-Meta-*`` headers. If it includes underscores, they will be converted to dashes and the first letter of all intra-dash strings will be capitalized. |
1107 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * A ``GET`` reply for a level will include all headers of the corresponding ``HEAD`` request. |
1108 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * To avoid conflicts between objects and virtual directory markers in container listings, it is recommended that object names do not end with the delimiter used. |
1109 | f9f15f92 | Antony Chazapis | * The ``Accept`` header may be used in requests instead of the ``format`` parameter to specify the desired request/reply format. The parameter overrides the header. |
1110 | 690747fe | Antony Chazapis | * Container/object lists use a ``200`` return code if the reply is of type JSON/XML. The reply will include an empty JSON/XML. |
1111 | 843d36d1 | Antony Chazapis | * In headers, dates are formatted according to RFC 1123. In extended information listings, the ``last_modified`` field is formatted according to ISO 8601 (for OOS API compatibility). All other fields (Pithos extensions) use integer tiemstamps. |
1112 | c9af0703 | Antony Chazapis | * The ``Last-Modified`` header value always reflects the actual latest change timestamp, regardless of time control parameters and version requests. Time precondition checks with ``If-Modified-Since`` and ``If-Unmodified-Since`` headers are applied to this value. |
1113 | a6eb13e9 | Antony Chazapis | * A copy/move using ``PUT``/``COPY``/``MOVE`` will always update metadata, keeping all old values except the ones redefined in the request headers. |
1114 | 8cb45c13 | Antony Chazapis | * A ``HEAD`` or ``GET`` for an ``X-Object-Manifest`` object, will include modified ``Content-Length`` and ``ETag`` headers, according to the characteristics of the objects under the specified prefix. The ``Etag`` will be the MD5 hash of the corresponding ETags concatenated. In extended container listings there is no metadata processing. |

1117 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | ----------------- |
1118 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1119 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | User Experience |
1120 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
1121 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1122 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | Hopefully this API will allow for a multitude of client implementations, each supporting a different device or operating system. All clients will be able to manipulate containers and objects - even software only designed for OOS API compatibility. But a Pithos interface should not be only about showing containers and folders. There are some extra user interface elements and functionalities that should be common to all implementations. |
1123 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1124 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | Upon entrance to the service, a user is presented with the following elements - which can be represented as folders or with other related icons: |
1125 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1126 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * The ``home`` element, which is used as the default entry point to the user's "files". Objects under ``home`` are represented in the usual hierarchical organization of folders and files. |
1127 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * The ``trash`` element, which contains files that have been marked for deletion, but can still be recovered. |
1128 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * The ``shared`` element, which contains all objects shared by the user to other users of the system. |
1129 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * The ``others`` element, which contains all objects that other users share with the user. |
1130 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * The ``groups`` element, which contains the names of groups the user has defined. Each group consists of a user list. Group creation, deletion, and manipulation is carried out by actions originating here. |
1131 | 66f6dfc2 | Antony Chazapis | * The ``history`` element, which allows browsing past instances of ``home`` and - optionally - ``trash``. |
1132 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1133 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | Objects in Pithos can be: |
1134 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1135 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Moved to trash and then deleted. |
1136 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Shared with specific permissions. |
1137 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | * Made public (shared with non-Pithos users). |
1138 | c9af0703 | Antony Chazapis | * Restored from previous versions. |
1139 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1140 | 66f6dfc2 | Antony Chazapis | Some of these functions are performed by the client software and some by the Pithos server. |
1141 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1142 | f5ed44df | Antony Chazapis | In the first version of Pithos, objects could also be assigned custom tags. This is no longer supported. Existing deployments can migrate tags into a specific metadata value, i.e. ``X-Object-Meta-Tags``. |
1143 | f5ed44df | Antony Chazapis | |
1144 | 66f6dfc2 | Antony Chazapis | Implementation Guidelines |
1145 | 66f6dfc2 | Antony Chazapis | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
1146 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1147 | a8326bef | Antony Chazapis | Pithos clients should use the ``pithos`` and ``trash`` containers for active and inactive objects respectively. If any of these containers is not found, the client software should create it, without interrupting the user's workflow. The ``home`` element corresponds to ``pithos`` and the ``trash`` element to ``trash``. Use ``PUT`` with the ``X-Move-From`` header, or ``MOVE`` to transfer objects from one container to the other. Use ``DELETE`` to remove from ``pithos`` without trashing, or to remove from ``trash``. When moving objects, detect naming conflicts with the ``If-Match`` or ``If-None-Match`` headers. Such conflicts should be resolved by the user. |
1148 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1149 | 66f6dfc2 | Antony Chazapis | Object names should use the ``/`` delimiter to impose a hierarchy of folders and files. |
1150 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1151 | 66f6dfc2 | Antony Chazapis | The ``shared`` element should be implemented as a read-only view of the ``pithos`` container, using the ``shared`` parameter when listing objects. The ``others`` element, should start with a top-level ``GET`` to retrieve the list of accounts accessible to the user. It is suggested that the client software hides the next step of navigation - the container - if it only includes ``pithos`` and forwards the user directly to the objects. |
1152 | f2d7b5ab | Antony Chazapis | |
1153 | 66f6dfc2 | Antony Chazapis | Public objects are not included in ``shared`` and ``others`` listings. It is suggested that they are marked in a visually distinctive way in ``pithos`` listings (for example using an icon overlay). |
1154 | 66f6dfc2 | Antony Chazapis | |
1155 | 66f6dfc2 | Antony Chazapis | A special application menu, or a section in application preferences, should be devoted to managing groups (the ``groups`` element). All group-related actions are implemented at the account level. |
1156 | 66f6dfc2 | Antony Chazapis | |
1157 | f5ed44df | Antony Chazapis | Browsing past versions of objects should be available both at the object and the container level. At the object level, a list of past versions can be included in the screen showing details or more information on the object (metadata, permissions, etc.). At the container level, it is suggested that clients use a ``history`` element, which presents to the user a read-only, time-variable view of ``pithos`` contents. This can be accomplished via the ``until`` parameter in listings. Optionally, ``history`` may include ``trash``. |
1158 | 288c1d55 | Antony Chazapis | |
1159 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | Uploading and downloading data |
1160 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
1161 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | |
1162 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | By using hashmaps to upload and download objects the corresponding operations can complete much faster. |
1163 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | |
1164 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | In the case of an upload, only the missing blocks will be submitted to the server: |
1165 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | |
1166 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | * Calculate the hash value for each block of the object to be uploaded. Use the hash algorithm and block size of the destination container. |
1167 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | * Send a hashmap ``PUT`` request for the object. |
1168 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | |
1169 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | * Server responds with status ``201`` (Created): |
1170 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | |
1171 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | * Blocks are already on the server. The object has been created. Done. |
1172 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | |
1173 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | * Server responds with status ``409`` (Conflict): |
1174 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | |
1175 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | * Server's response body contains the hashes of the blocks that do not exist on the server. |
1176 | 6d897a63 | Antony Chazapis | * For each hash value in the server's response (or all hashes together): |
1177 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | |
1178 | 6d897a63 | Antony Chazapis | * Send a ``POST`` request to the destination container with the corresponding data. |
1179 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | |
1180 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | * Repeat hashmap ``PUT``. Fail if the server's response is not ``201``. |
1181 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | |
1182 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | Consulting hashmaps when downloading allows for resuming partially transferred objects. The client should retrieve the hashmap from the server and compare it with the hashmap computed from the respective local file. Any missing parts can be downloaded with ``GET`` requests with the additional ``Range`` header. |
1183 | 8728b177 | Antony Chazapis | |
1184 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | Syncing |
1185 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | ^^^^^^^ |
1186 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | |
1187 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | Consider the following algorithm for synchronizing a local folder with the server. The "state" is the complete object listing, with the corresponding attributes. |
1188 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | |
1189 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | :: |
1190 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | |
1191 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | L: local state (stored state from last sync with the server) |
1192 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | C: current state (state computed right before sync) |
1193 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | S: server state |
1194 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | |
1195 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | if C == L: |
1196 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | # No local changes |
1197 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | if S == L: |
1198 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | # No remote changes, nothing to do |
1199 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | else: |
1200 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | # Update local state to match that of the server |
1201 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | L = S |
1202 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | else: |
1203 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | # We have local changes |
1204 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | if S == L: |
1205 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | # No remote changes, update the server |
1206 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | S = C |
1207 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | L = S |
1208 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | else: |
1209 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | # Both we and server have changes |
1210 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | if C == S: |
1211 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | # We were lucky, we did the same change |
1212 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | L = S |
1213 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | else: |
1214 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | # We have conflicting changes |
1215 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | resolve conflict |
1216 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | |
1217 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | Notes: |
1218 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | |
1219 | dfb28993 | chazapis | * States represent file hashes (it is suggested to use Merkle). Deleted or non-existing files are assumed to have a magic hash (e.g. empty string). |
1220 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | * Updating a state (either local or remote) implies downloading, uploading or deleting the appropriate file. |
1221 | c9aba6cc | Antony Chazapis | |
