Composable Resources
Overview of Resource Composition
Uses a well known Tree Metaphor - Branches and Leaves
Two types of nodes:
- Coordinating Resource -
pure decision making
- Storage Resource -
instance managing the hardware
By convention, Coordinating Resources do not have storage
(this is not enforced)
Coordinating Resources - Branches
Compound - provide POSIX interface to alternative storage
Deferred - defer to children regarding voting behavior
Load Balanced - use gathered load values to determine choices
Passthru - weight, then delegate operations to a child resource
Random - randomly choose a child for a write operation
Replication - ensure all data objects are consistent across children
Round Robin - delegate writes to each child in series
Storage Resources - Leaves
Non-Cached
Unix File System - generic file system storage
Ceph-RADOS - Ceph object storage
HPSS - access to IBM High Performance Storage System
Cached (Archive)
S3 - archive resource for Amazon S3
WOS - DDN Web Object Scalar
Universal MSS - script based access to generic archive storage
Compound Resources
Necessary for POSIX compliance - disk cache in front of Object, Tape, etc.
For a Put
- Data objects are delegated to the cache first and registered
- Then a copy (replica) is sent to the archive
For a Get
- Replica is staged to cache if required
- Read always happens from cache

Test Put
irods@example:~$ truncate --size 10M test_file
irods@example:~$ ls -l test_file
-rw-rw-r-- 1 irods irods 10485760 May 31 21:11 test_file
irods@example:~$ iput -R comp_resc test_file
irods@example:~$ ils -l
/tempZone/home/rods:
rods 0 comp_resc;ufs_cache 10485760 2017-05-31.21:11 & test_file
rods 1 comp_resc;ufs_arch 10485760 2017-05-31.21:11 & test_file
By default, the archive is immediately replicated after the cache replica is at rest and registered in the catalog
ufs_cache has replica number 0 (written first)
ufs_arch has replica number 1 (written second)
Delayed Replication to an Archive Resource
Set the compound resource context string to "auto_repl=off"
iadmin modresc comp_resc context "auto_repl=off"
Leverage the rule engine for replication via acPostProcForPut
acPostProcForPut() { if("ufs_cache" == $KVPairs.rescName) { delay("<PLUSET>1s</PLUSET><EF>1h DOUBLE UNTIL SUCCESS OR 6 TIMES</EF>") { *CacheRescName = "comp_resc;ufs_cache"; msisync_to_archive("*CacheRescName", $filePath, $objPath); } } }
Excellent examples of delayed replication and cache purging can be found here:

Add a custom rulebase to /etc/irods/server_config.json
Create a new Rulebase
Edit /etc/irods/training.re and add our new Policy Enforcement Point
acPostProcForPut() { if("ufs_cache" == $KVPairs.rescName) { delay("<PLUSET>1s</PLUSET><EF>1h DOUBLE UNTIL SUCCESS OR 6 TIMES</EF>") { *CacheRescName = "comp_resc;ufs_cache"; msisync_to_archive("*CacheRescName", $filePath, $objPath); } } }

A Storage Balanced Resource Composition
Goal: Use dynamic policy enforcement point to influence voting behavior
iadmin mkresc def_resc deferred iadmin mkresc ufs1 unixfilesystem `hostname`:/tmp/ufs1 iadmin mkresc ufs2 unixfilesystem `hostname`:/tmp/ufs2 iadmin mkresc pt1 passthru iadmin mkresc pt2 passthru iadmin addchildtoresc def_resc pt1 iadmin addchildtoresc def_resc pt2 iadmin addchildtoresc pt1 ufs1 iadmin addchildtoresc pt2 ufs2
irods@example:~$ ilsresc comp_resc:compound
└── ufs_arch
└── ufs_cache
def_resc:deferred
├── pt1:passthru
│ └── ufs1
└── pt2:passthru
└── ufs2
Influencing Voting Behavior
-
Deferred node will simply pick the highest vote
-
Leverage a dynamic policy enforcement point to influence the voting behavior of the passthru node
-
The passthru node will honor weights set by the result string
-
These will override weights that may also be in the context string
-
Force all new Puts to the PT2 Resource
pep_resource_resolve_hierarchy_pre( *INST_NAME,*CTX,*OUT,*OP_TYPE,*HOST,*RESC_HIER,*VOTE){ if( "CREATE" == *OP_TYPE ) { if( "pt1" == *INST_NAME) { *OUT = "read=1.0;write=0.5" } else if ( "pt2" == *INST_NAME ) { *OUT = "read=1.0;write=1.0" } } }
Add to /etc/irods/training.re
Test the forced vote weights
irods@example:~$ iput -R def_resc test_file weight_test1 irods@example:~$ iput -R def_resc test_file weight_test2 irods@example:~$ ils -l /tempZone/home/rods:

Edit /etc/irods/training.re
Overload the pep_resolve_resource_hierarchy_pre by
adding a new implementation preceding the previous example
(order matters)

Testing the Storage Balancing Resource
Put some files and check the distribution:
Set the max_bytes for each passthru node:
iadmin modresc pt1 context "max_bytes=20000000"
iadmin modresc pt2 context "max_bytes=20000000"
