RadosGW client for Ceph S3 storage
Project description
radula is a small utility to add some friendliness to RadosGW for our team working with Ceph for S3-like storage. Little more than a wrapper for boto radula saves us time and headache by using nice defaults.
The primary functions for the current version are
Inspect radosgw bucket/key ACLs
Spot differences between bucket and key ACLs
Allow or disallow user read/write to buckets and keys
When modifying a bucket ACL, modify the ACLs for keys as well
Verify uploads using checksums
Upload using multiple threads
The name, “radula”, is a cephalopod-related term that hit close to RADOS. It’s not a tongue, or really even teeth; it’s more like if your tongue had teeth. Spooky.
Installation
Install radula from pypi using pip.
pip install radula
The radula command should be available in your $PATH.
Testing
Install the pip packages listed in testing-requirements.txt and run nosetests.
$ pip install -U -r testing-requirements.txt $ nosetests --with-coverage --cover-package=radula
The effort to increase code coverage is ongoing.
Configure
radula uses boto, so all configuration is really boto configuration. Notable changes are replacing the url to amazon aws with that of one of your gateways. Where applicable, you may have to disable SSL as a default option.
# example shared /etc/boto.cfg [s3] host = radosgw1.your_company.com [Boto] is_secure = False
To add your personal credentials, fill in the following in ~/.boto:
[Credentials] aws_access_key_id = abcdef... aws_secret_access_key = 0123456... [profile other_role] aws_access_key_id = wxyz... aws_secret_access_key = 9765432...
Usage
The command structure for radula is radula [flags] command subject [target]. The “subject” matter or “target” of a request could be a local resource or a remote one, depending on the command being executed. These could be read as “source” and “destination” in some cases, but the intent is simply to flow left to right.

Examples
This is a quick walkthrough of the features so far. In these scenarios, we acting as the user bibby, who owns the rados bucket mybucket. In some of the examples, we’ll be manipulating the access to this bucket for a second user called fred.
Contained in the bucket are two regular files: hello and world.
Displaying bucket ACL
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula get-acl mybucket ACL for bucket: mybucket [CanonicalUser:OWNER] Andrew Bibby = FULL_CONTROL
The command get-acl prints the acl. radula assumed that the term mybucket was a bucket, being that it was a lone term.
Displaying key ACL
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula get-acl mybucket/hello ACL for key: mybucket/hello [CanonicalUser:OWNER] Andrew Bibby = FULL_CONTROL
Because the term contained a slash, the subject is correctly identified as hello within the bucket mybucket.
Comparing ACLs - Keys in bucket
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula compare-acl mybucket Bucket ACL for: mybucket [CanonicalUser:OWNER] Andrew Bibby = FULL_CONTROL --------- Keys with identical ACL: 2 Keys with different ACL: 0
The compare-acl command on a bucket will report of the sameness of ACLs across the keys as compared to the bucket. We’ll see this again later in another example.
This can be run against one key, limiting the compared objects to the one key against its bucket
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula check-acl mybucket/hello Bucket ACL for: mybucket [CanonicalUser:OWNER] Andrew Bibby = FULL_CONTROL --------- Keys with identical ACL: 1 Keys with different ACL: 0
Set a canned ACL
Can set the ACL of a bucket or key to one of the four AWS “canned” policies using set-acl. In this scenario, the subject can be a bucket or a key, with the target being a canned policy name.
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula set-acl mybucket/hello public-read << prints the output of get-acl after completing the operation
Changing the ACL on a bucket will will be applied to the keys as well, potentially overwriting any custom access given to keys. Run compare-acl before setting the bucket ACL to discover any special differences, as they may need to be recreated after the set-acl operation completes.
Sync ACLs
Should a difference of ACL had appeared, we could forcefully replace all key ACLs with the bucket’s ACL using sync-acl.
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula sync-acl mybucket Bucket ACL for: mybucket [CanonicalUser:OWNER] Andrew Bibby = FULL_CONTROL --------- Setting bucket's ACL on hello Setting bucket's ACL on world
This is a PUT command, so it doesn’t bother to look at the current ACL for the keys; it just puts a copy of the bucket’s own ACL.
sync-acl can be done on a single key as well.
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula sync-acl mybucket/world Setting bucket's ACL on world
Granting access to a key
To grant access to another user, we’ll make use of some new flags. -r and/or -w to indicate read and write. A grant may have one or both of rw. If both are absent, read is assumed. Permissions are separate, so it is possible to have a write-only grant.
For permission grants the subject is the user (as far as the usage format in the help text goes), and the target is the key or bucket.
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula allow fred mybucket/hello granting READ to fred on key hello
Multiple grants to the same user for the same permission are possible in rados and on s3, but radula will guard against that and ignore the duplicate entry. Here, we’ll add “read-write”:
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula -wr allow fred mybucket/hello User fred already has READ for key hello, skipping granting WRITE to fred on key hello
Granting access to a bucket
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula -wr allow fred mybucket granting READ to fred on bucket mybucket granting WRITE to fred on bucket mybucket User fred already has READ for key <Key: mybucket,hello>, skipping User fred already has WRITE for key <Key: mybucket,hello>, skipping granting READ to fred on key <Key: mybucket,world> granting WRITE to fred on key <Key: mybucket,world>
With both allow and disallow, if an ACL difference exists between the bucket and a key, that difference may still exist after the modification. With these commands, we aren’t syncing a modified bucket ACL down to the keys; we’re applying the same singular change to each target individually.
Disallow (buckets and keys)
Removing permissions works similarly to granting access, but with some differences. One assumption is about the omission of the read-write flags; If neither are present, both permissions are removed.
start |
flags |
result |
---|---|---|
RW |
-r |
W |
RW |
-w |
R |

-rw |

ACLs for the keys are modified first. The user’s access cannot be taken away from the bucket if it still exists for one of its keys, so the changes take place from bottom up.
Creating an difference and syncing down
Starting with a blank slate:
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula -wr disallow fred mybucket No change for <Key: mybucket,hello> No change for <Key: mybucket,world> No change for mybucket
Give fred read on the bucket
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula -r allow fred mybucket granting READ to fred on bucket mybucket granting READ to fred on key <Key: mybucket,hello> granting READ to fred on key <Key: mybucket,world>
Give fred write on one key
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula -w allow fred mybucket/world granting WRITE to fred on key world
Confirm the difference..
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula compare-acl mybucket Bucket ACL for: mybucket [CanonicalUser:OWNER] Andrew Bibby = FULL_CONTROL [CanonicalUser] Fred Fredricks = READ --------- Difference in world: [CanonicalUser:OWNER] Andrew Bibby = FULL_CONTROL [CanonicalUser] Fred Fredricks = READ [CanonicalUser] Fred Fredricks = WRITE Keys with identical ACL: 1 Keys with different ACL: 1
Plow the keys with the bucket’s settings.
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula sync-acl mybucket Bucket ACL for: mybucket [CanonicalUser:OWNER] Andrew Bibby = FULL_CONTROL [CanonicalUser] Fred Fredricks = READ --------- Setting bucket's ACL on hello Setting bucket's ACL on world [bibby@machine ~]$ radula check-acl mybucket Bucket ACL for: mybucket [CanonicalUser:OWNER] Andrew Bibby = FULL_CONTROL [CanonicalUser] Fred Fredricks = READ --------- Keys with identical ACL: 2 Keys with different ACL: 0
Upload and Download
These functions are similar for moving files in and out of the radosgw. Its intention is not to replace better tools like s3cmd, but rather to cover some very common use cases so that the installation and configuration of additional libraries might not be needed.
put, up, upload
The commands put, up, and upload are equivalent. For these examples, I’ve chosen to use up.
The syntax is radula up {source} {target}, where source is a local file or a glob. The target is a in radosgw path, and its behavior depends on the singularity or plurality of the source given.
If the target path ends with a slash (/), then the key is presumed to be the basename of the object appended at that path. See table below.
If multiple source files are given, the key will always assume it is part of a path, making an ending slash wholly optional.
When using globs, it’s important to know that the argument must be quoted to avoid shell expansion. For example to upload all files starting with the letter a from path, the command would be
radula up 'path/a*' bucket/path
source |
target |
result |
---|---|---|
/some/file |
bucket |
bucket/file |
/some/file |
bucket/file |
bucket/file |
/some/file |
bucket/named |
bucket/named |
/some/file |
bucket/named/ |
bucket/named/file |
/some/f* |
bucket/named |
bucket/named/file, bucket/named/file2 |
/some/f* |
bucket/named/ |
bucket/named/file, bucket/named/file2 |
For faster multipart uploads, the default number of threads used is 5, but this can be set during upload using the -t option.
# upload a large file using 10 threads radula -t 10 up large_file bucket
Upload verification via checksum can be enabled by adding the -y, --verify flag.
get, dl, download
The commands get, dl, and downlaod are equivalent. For these examples, I’ve chosen to use dl.
The the syntax is radula dl {source} [{target}]. The target is optional, and will default to the basename of the remote file to be stored in the current working directory.
Unlike up, the download commands to not support globs (ain’t nobody got time for that).
source |
target |
result |
---|---|---|
bucket/path/file |
./file |
|
bucket/path/file |
some_file |
./some_file |
bucket/path/file |
dir |
dir/file |
bucket/path/file |
dir/named |
dir/named |
No attempt is made to create local paths that do not exist prior to download; in the table above dir is an existing directory.
If a file with the target name already exists, radula will ask if you wish to overwrite it unless the -f, --force flag is enabled.
cat
An alternative to download is cat, which prints the contents of a remote subject to stdout.
$ echo "Hello there you" > hello $ radula up hello mybucket/hello INFO:radula:Finished uploading 16.00 B in 0.08s (188.82 Bps) $ radula cat mybucket/hello Hello there you
verify uploads
Checksums can be obtained using local-md5 and remote-md5, and easily compared with verify.
The local-md5 command expects one local file argument, and will generate the same hash that is expected to be found on the remote. Multipart upload size matters, so the output hash may differ if uploaded by another mechanism.
The remote-md5 command expects one remote file uri, ie mybucket/path/myfile. It will return the etag attribute associated with the key, which will typically be a file md5 or conglomeration of multipart upload hashs with a number tacked at the end.
Calling verify [local_file] [remote_file] simply runs the operations mentioned above and tests their outputs for likeness.
To view raw metadata about a remote target, use info [remote_file]. The output will contain the etag and other data in JSON format.
deletion
Remote objects can be deleted using the commands rm or remove. While the majority of radula commands follow the position pattern of subject, target, the deletion command operates exclusively on remote objects. Therefore, it is one of the few that accept an arbitrary number of arguments. Globs are supported if they are quoted so as not to expand in the shell.
Use the -n,`–dry-run` flag to preview deletions without making any changes.
[bibby@machine ~]$ radula --dry-run rm mybucket/x DRY-RUN: rm mybucket/x [bibby@machine ~]$ radula rm mybucket/x 'mybucket/y*' x y1 y2
Cleaning up messes
If multipart uploads go awry, they can leave behind some unfinished artifacts in the form of orphaned upload parts. radula can now list these can clean up.
The commands multipart-list, mp-list, and mpl are equivalent. For these examples, I’ve chosen to use mp-list.
Listing can be done by bucket or for a key:
# list multipart uploads for a bucket $ radula mp-list mybucket bibby ones.img 2~Q8r-pWTmMTbx_rhHa8-u3I3m-vjCF5F Andrew Bibby 2015-09-23T19:39:14.000Z bibby zeros.img 2~MvM7KTr2sMcS_SfVzWO7T0chzJRUqvm Andrew Bibby 2015-09-23T19:35:44.000Z # list multipart uploads for a key $ radula mp-list mybucket/zeros.img bibby zeros.img 2~MvM7KTr2sMcS_SfVzWO7T0chzJRUqvm Andrew Bibby 2015-09-23T19:35:44.000Z
Cleaning up a failed multi-part upload is as easy using a clean command in place of list.
The commands multipart-clean, mp-clean, and mpc are equivalent. For these examples, I’ve chosen to use mp-clean.
# clean multipart uploads for a key $ radula mp-clean mybucket/zeros.img INFO:root:Canceling zeros.img 2~MvM7KTr2sMcS_SfVzWO7T0chzJRUqvm True # clean multipart uploads for a bucket $ radula mp-list mybucket INFO:root:Canceling ones.img 2~Q8r-pWTmMTbx_rhHa8-u3I3m-vjCF5F True
Streaming Copy
Since radula 0.5.0, users are able to copy between different ceph installations, or different buckets within the same installation, without copying to the local disk. To facilitate this in the friendliest possible manner, we’ve extended the boto configuration slightly to be able to specify a separate s3 host for a particular profile.
The profile sections of ~/.boto or /etc/boto.cfg can now accept the following items that are not supported by regular boto:
host (string)
port (int)
is_secure (bool)
An example extended profile
[profile second_ceph] aws_access_key_id = wxyz... aws_secret_access_key = 9765432... host = second.ceph.of.mine port = 8184
The commans streaming-copy and sc are equivalent. For these example, I’ve chosen to use sc.
When copying, the -p flag will apply the aws_profile for the source/subject. Omitting this flag will use the default boto credentials for the source.
The -d flag will specify the profile used for the destination/target to receive the files. Naming -d Default will use the default boto credentials for the destination.
Copy a file from first-ceph to second-ceph
radula sc -d second mybucket/file other_bucket/file
This command used the default boto profile send file from mybucket located on the default ceph to the ceph defined in the profile named second.
Copy a file from second-ceph to first-ceph
radula -p second -d Default other_bucket/file mybucket/file
This is the inverse of the previous example. Using the second profile as the source/subject (as specified by -p second), we’re transfering a file to mybucket/file located on the default s3 using the default profile (as specified by -d Default).
Copy profile to profile
Avoiding the use of default profiles all together, you can copy using both -p and -d flags.
radula -p here -d there here/stuff there/stuff
