Hi all, in the last few days i have worked on improving the uWSGI plugin for rados (its first version was released a year ago, but was buggy and little integrated with the whole project).
http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Rados.html (for those who do not know uWSGI, it is a platform/library for building application servers) you currently need to clone the github repository (2.0.6 will be released next week). In the uwsgi-2.1 branch the plugin includes support for some additional webdav methods (like PROPFIND) thanks to the new (still work in progress) uWSGI webdav api. To build the plugin (or the monolithic binary) you need gcc/clang, pcre development headers (to use the internal routing support), openssl (if you need https) and librados. A working python/python3 executable is required to run the build system. The sources are here: https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi/blob/master/plugins/rados/ (docs source is at https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi-docs/blob/master/Rados.rst) the only "complex" part is async support, as we need pipes and mutexes to synchronize aio functions with the non-blocking (stack-switching) uWSGI core. (but you can obviously use it in classic multiprocess/multithread blocking mode) Currently i have started stress testing it with seven nodes (each node has a mon, a osd and uWSGI instance [sorry, i know it is not the best approach]) behind a nginx proxy. (uWSGI caching is not enabled as i want to get statistics of the rados response times) Planned new features are: - improving webdav coverage in 2.1 branch (using xattr as dav properties, and implementing locking on top of rados locks) - adding support for watch/notify (could be useful for auto-cache invalidation and for signaling) - integration with uWSGI alarm subsystem (for triggering events on failed rados pings and so on) Hope it will be useful for someone Every report will be wellcomed.
