With this patch the ContainerBroker gains several new features:
1. A shard_ranges table to persist ShardRange data, along with
methods to merge and access ShardRange instances to that table,
and to remove expired shard ranges.
2. The ability to create a fresh db file to replace the existing db
file. Fresh db files are named using the hash of the container path
plus an epoch which is a serialized Timestamp value, in the form:
<hash>_<epoch>.db
During sharding both the fresh and retiring db files co-exist on
disk. The ContainerBroker is now able to choose the newest on disk db
file when instantiated. It also provides a method (get_brokers()) to
gain access to broker instance for either on disk file.
3. Methods to access the current state of the on disk db files i.e.
UNSHARDED (old file only), SHARDING (fresh and retiring files), or
SHARDED (fresh file only with shard ranges).
Container replication is also modified:
1. shard ranges are replicated between container db peers. Unlike
objects, shard ranges are both pushed and pulled during a REPLICATE
event.
2. If a container db is capable of being sharded (i.e. it has a set of
shard ranges) then it will no longer attempt to replicate objects to
its peers. Object record durability is achieved by sharding rather than
peer to peer replication.
