Prefer local chunkserver+debian updates #277
Conversation
that is running on the same node as a chunkserver will prefer replicated chunks to be serviced by the local node.
When building the documentation, some additional xml based packages need to be installed.
Certain packages have no binary programs, so there is no shared libarry dependencies to calculate.
conffile updates itself. This brings this package more inline with debian policy.

The package was not lintian clean. shlibs is for shared-libs, aka compiled packages. ps: my other persona is doogie@debian.org, but I haven't been active. |
|
So, removing is fine, but the arch also needs to be changed to all, as there is no compiled files in those packages. |

@eigood , thanks for a valuable contribution! PREFER_LOCAL_CHUNKSERVER commit is under review in here: http://cr.skytechnology.pl:8081/#/c/1586 , although we need to implement and add some tests to the commit before merging it. |

The by-hand testing I did was to configure multiple docker instances, for chunkserver and master. Make certain the data can be read/written. Apply my change, recompile, upgrade, make certain data is still accessible. I didn't have a way to simulate the load we had been seeing. If this patch is accepted, however, we'd go about deploying it to the backuppc cluster we have(which is actually still moosefs). |

@onlyjob, you have a point, a decent solution to this problem is refactoring/rewriting topology feature as a whole - and we already have a plan of doing so. I'm not able to tell you when, but this needs to be done anyway. |
|
Hmm. Test cases, eh? I need to make some time to understand the test case system for lizardfs. I saw other things in gerrit that interest me. |
This adds the enhancement mentioned in #250. It also improves the debian packaging a little bit.
