paunch-dir

An algorithm to generate a path from file name which directory structure could store mass files

You could generated directory structure (from a uuid file name) just like:

├── 02
│   └── 9d
│       └── 5b
│           └── cb7c89776a923d6050ff9cffcf1333284f.jpg
|               # Original file name : 029d5bcb7c89776a923d6050ff9cffcf1333284f.jpg
├── 03
│   ├── 2b
│   │   └── f9
│   │       └── 7cdb028c51ec56ec53cbe34946525a3e37.jpg
│   └── f9
│       └── 4d
│           └── 9458a9ee5396911268b0da6b3552f154e8.jpg

It’s ineffectively for file system parse large number files in same directory. And there have limit files that could be sotre in a directory depends on different file system format. You will see it’s very slow if you open a directory with hundreds of thousands files in file browser. Separate them into different directory with specific algorithm that could greatly improve efficiency when parse those files.

Usage

from paunchdir import PaunchDir

# Generate path from uuid file name
pdir = PaunchDir(".")
print(pdir.compose('032bf97cdb028c51ec56ec53cbe34946525a3e37.jpg'))
# ==> "./03/2b/f9/7cdb028c51ec56ec53cbe34946525a3e37.jpg"

# Decompose uuid file name from a path
print(pdir.decompose("./03/2b/f9/7cdb028c51ec56ec53cbe34946525a3e37.jpg"))
# ==> "032bf97cdb028c51ec56ec53cbe34946525a3e37.jpg"

# Generate path from uuid file name with one level (Just like what the git
# store it's objects)
pdir = PaunchDir("./objects", levels=1)
print(pdir.compose('032bf97cdb028c51ec56ec53cbe34946525a3e37'))
# ==> "./03/2bf97cdb028c51ec56ec53cbe34946525a3e37"
