A MogileFS client library for Ruby. MogileFS is an open source distributed filesystem, see: [http://mogilefs.org](http://mogilefs.org) for more details. This library allows any Ruby application to read, write and delete files in a MogileFS instance. To install this prerelease: gem install --pre mogilefs-client mogilefs :: [http://mogilefs.org/](http://mogilefs.org/) list :: [mailto:mogile@googlegroups.com](mailto:mogile@googlegroups.com) email :: [mailto:normalperson@yhbt.net](mailto:normalperson@yhbt.net) repo :: git://bogomips.org/mogilefs-client.git cgit :: [http://bogomips.org/mogilefs-client.git](http://bogomips.org/mogilefs-client.git) gitweb :: [http://repo.or.cz/w/ruby-mogilefs-client.git](http://repo.or.cz/w/ruby-mogilefs-client.git) There's a fair amount of internal changes and cleanups, but most user-visible things should be relatively untouched. === client changes \* "store\_file" now accepts any IO object capable of streaming   data (e.g. pipes and sockets). This uses chunked   Transfer-Encoding for PUTs, so backend storage nodes   will need to support this (latest mogstored does). \* "store\_file" no longer uses an infinite timeout when   awaiting a response after a PUT, the new timeout for the   response is now calculated based on the time and size of   the PUT request. \* new commands: "file\_debug" and "file\_info" (new commands   in mogilefsd, be sure you have the latest version) \* "get\_paths" takes optional ":pathcount" parameter   to control the number of returned paths. \* "get\_file\_data" supports offset and count for partial   transfer (requires support from storage node for   Range: requests, most HTTP servers are capable of this) \* IO.copy\_stream is enabled by default under Ruby 1.9.3.   Expect performance improvements. \* "list\_keys" with a passed block (for additional info) is   faster due to internal pipelining implementation and the   addition of "file\_info" support. \* fixed handling of "+" in key/domain names (old bug) \* rare, truncated partial responses due to network/server   failure now raise MogileFS::InvalidResponseError === admin changes Admin support is still a work-in-progress, I usually just find myself using "mogadm" anyways. \* new admin commands: "replicate\_now" \* "get\_stats" no longer works on new mogilefsd versions \* get\_domains handles "repl\_policy" field correctly for classes   in MogileFS 2.x \* admin commands should convert all numeric fields to either   Integer or Float objects and not String representations   of numerics. Affected methods include:    get\_hosts, get\_devices, list\_fids, each\_fids, get\_domains === miscellany \* we no longer add methods to standard Ruby classes   (at least we never /changed/ existing methods :P) \* {kgio}[[http://bogomips.org/kgio](http://bogomips.org/kgio)] automatically used   if available, but not required to avoid exceptions   with non-blocking I/O \* dropped Ruby 1.8.6 support, 1.8.7 or later is required. \* Tested with MRI 1.8.7, 1.9.3 and Rubinius 1.2.4 \* MogileFS::Mysql - deprecated, to be removed in 2012 \* improved test suite \* some optional experimental features/changes,   see "git log" for details \* Added internal pipelining implementation, this is   not easy-to-use since the server can respond-out-of-order,   but still useful for things like a list\_keys+file\_info   loop. Feedback (bug reports, user/development dicussion, patches, pull requests) are greatly appreciated and handled via email. We currently piggy-back onto the public MogileFS {mailing list}[[mailto:mogile@googlegroups.com](mailto:mogile@googlegroups.com)] for feedback. If you do not want to deal with the corporate host of the MogileFS mailing list, or if you wish to keep your issue secret, feel free to email {Eric Wong at}[[mailto:normalperson@yhbt.net](mailto:normalperson@yhbt.net)].
