From: Kevan Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:11:22 +0000 (-0800) Subject: Add IPeerSelector interface from #1382, modified slightly. X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/%5B/%5D%20/uri/flags/(%5B%5E?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2e0ff81e168bf5d9741ad44b76b2448e4a2d0814;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git Add IPeerSelector interface from #1382, modified slightly. Instead of dealing with only share assignments, we'll think of the peer selector as dealing with tasks. It can ask its caller to inquire about the state of the grid, and to place shares. I'm not sure if there's a use case for other types of inquiry, or if we need to support them. Peer selection is complete when there are no more tasks. --- diff --git a/src/allmydata/interfaces.py b/src/allmydata/interfaces.py index b556d4e3..9dfbc034 100644 --- a/src/allmydata/interfaces.py +++ b/src/allmydata/interfaces.py @@ -693,6 +693,73 @@ class IReadable(Interface): download-to-memory consumer.
