Helyim

seaweedfs implemented in pure Rust. Please ⭐ on github!

Features

Additional Features

• Can choose no replication or different replication levels, rack and data center aware.
• Automatic compaction to reclaim disk space after deletion or update.
• Automatic master servers fail over - no single point of failure (SPOF).
• Erasure Coding for warm storage Rack-Aware 10.4 erasure coding reduces storage cost.

Installation

cargo +nightly install helyim

Usage

By default, the master node runs on port 9333, and the volume nodes run on port 8080. Let's start one master node, and one volume node on port 8080. Ideally, they should be started from different machines. We'll use localhost as an example.

Helyim uses HTTP REST operations to read, write, and delete. The responses are in JSON or JSONP format.

1. Start Master Server

cargo run --release --bin helyim master

2. Start Volume Servers

cargo run --release --bin helyim volume --port 8080 --folders ./target

3. Write File

To upload a file: first, send a HTTP POST, PUT, or GET request to /dir/assign to get an fid and a volume server URL:

curl http://localhost:9333/dir/assign
{"fid":"6,16b7578a5","url":"127.0.0.1:8080","public_url":"127.0.0.1:8080","count":1,"error":""}

Second, to store the file content, send a HTTP multi-part POST request to url + '/' + fid from the response:

curl -F file=@./sun.jpg http://127.0.0.1:8080/6,16b7578a5
{"name":"sun.jpg","size":1675569,"error":""}

To update, send another POST request with updated file content.

For deletion, send an HTTP DELETE request to the same url + '/' + fid URL:

curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8080/6,16b7578a5

Failover Master Server

When initiating a Raft cluster, it is necessary to specify the same node sequence when starting the Leader and Follower instances.

You can view the cluster status by accessing http://localhost:9333/cluster/status.

# start master1
cargo run --release --bin helyim -- master --ip 127.0.0.1 --port 9333 \
      --peers 127.0.0.1:9333 \
      --peers 127.0.0.1:9335 \
      --peers 127.0.0.1:9337
      
      
# start master2
cargo run --release --bin helyim -- master --ip 127.0.0.1 --port 9335 \
      --peers 127.0.0.1:9333 \
      --peers 127.0.0.1:9335 \
      --peers 127.0.0.1:9337
      
# start master3
cargo run --release --bin helyim -- master --ip 127.0.0.1 --port 9337 \
      --peers 127.0.0.1:9333 \
      --peers 127.0.0.1:9335 \
      --peers 127.0.0.1:9337

Benchmark

My laptop results on Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 16 (2023) with SSD, CPU: 14 Intel Core i9 5.4GHz.

It seems to be slower than seaweedfs, especially in terms of reading.
