.SH SYNOPSIS

|
|
.B swift-dispersion-populate
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
This is one of the swift-dispersion utilities that is used to evaluate the
|
|
overall cluster health. This is accomplished by checking if a set of
|
|
deliberately distributed containers and objects are currently in their
|
|
proper places within the cluster.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
For instance, a common deployment has three replicas of each object.
|
|
The health of that object can be measured by checking if each replica
|
|
is in its proper place. If only 2 of the 3 is in place the object's health
|
|
can be said to be at 66.66%, where 100% would be perfect.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
We need to place the containers and objects throughout the system so
|
|
that they are on distinct partitions. The \fBswift-dispersion-populate\fR tool
|
|
does this by making up random container and object names until they fall
|
|
on distinct partitions. Last, and repeatedly for the life of the cluster,
|
|
we need to run the \fBswift-dispersion-report\fR tool to check the health of each
|
|
of these containers and objects.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
These tools need direct access to the entire cluster and to the ring files.
|
|
Installing them on a proxy server will probably do or a box used for swift
|
|
administration purposes that also contains the common swift packages and ring.
|
|
Both \fBswift-dispersion-populate\fR and \fBswift-dispersion-report\fR use the
|
|
same configuration file, /etc/swift/dispersion.conf . The account used by these
|
|
tool should be a dedicated account for the dispersion stats and also have admin
|
|
privileges.
