rockstor / iarc Goto Github PK

Create a simple CLI for iarc.

1. CLI should integrate nicely with scripts written shell, perl and python.
2. CLI should have an interactive mode

Use this issue to setup the basic application architecture to be extended for other source and destinations

More sources to be added later include: NFS, CIFS, S3 etc..

Create a plugin architecture to add new source and destination support.

users should be able to sign up for notifications.

Implement a basic search on all archive metadata to answer questions like:

1. When did source X got archived?
2. What was the space savings
3. What is source X archived as?

etc..

Implement a rule based engine into iarc such that rules can be defined by end users. These rules define the archiving criteria.

Initial set of rules:
file metadata rule for owner and group owner
file metadata rules for access time and modified time
filename regex
size of the file

Split this issue as needed after the rule based engine implementation is done.

Multi-threaded
o Process/thread per “/Soruce//”
o Shall recursively start additional threads at sub-dir level of “/source///subdir*” based number of files.

Ability to do central setup/control/manage iarc beyond a single machine by running iarc on a farm of servers.

iarc should log meaningfully and thoroughly so that users can dig into logs to introspect as much as possible. key is to log all useful information and log meaningfully.

Make iarc available as a rpm installable on Centos and RHEL and easily upgradable
