hashfs

HashFS is a content-addressable file management system. What does that mean? Simply, that HashFS manages a directory where files are saved based on the file's hash.

Typical use cases for this kind of system are ones where:

  • Files are written once and never change (e.g. image storage).
  • It's desirable to have no duplicate files (e.g. user uploads).
  • File metadata is stored elsewhere (e.g. in a database).

Classes

HashAddress (HashAddress)

File address containing file's path on disk and it's content hash ID.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
id str

Hash ID (hexdigest) of file contents.

relpath str

Relative path location to :attr:HashFS.root.

abspath str

Absoluate path location of file on disk.

is_duplicate boolean

Whether the hash address created was a duplicate of a previously existing file. Can only be True after a put operation. Defaults to False.

HashFS

Content addressable file manager.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
root str

Directory path used as root of storage space.

depth int

Depth of subfolders to create when saving a file.

width int

Width of each subfolder to create when saving a file.

algorithm str

Hash algorithm to use when computing file hash. Algorithm should be available in hashlib module. Defaults to 'sha256'.

fmode int

File mode permission to set when adding files to directory. Defaults to 0o664 which allows owner/group to read/write and everyone else to read.

dmode int

Directory mode permission to set for subdirectories. Defaults to 0o755 which allows owner/group to read/write and everyone else to read and everyone to execute.

Stream

Common interface for file-like objects.

The input obj can be a file-like object or a path to a file. If obj is a path to a file, then it will be opened until :meth:close is called. If obj is a file-like object, then it's original position will be restored when :meth:close is called instead of closing the object automatically. Closing of the stream is deferred to whatever process passed the stream in.

Successive readings of the stream is supported without having to manually set it's position back to 0.
