tigris-boto3-ext 0.1.1

Extend boto3 with Tigris-specific features like snapshots and bucket forking

tigris-boto3-ext

Extend boto3 with Tigris-specific features like snapshots and bucket forking, while maintaining full boto3 compatibility.

Features

• Snapshot Support: Create, list, and read from bucket snapshots
• Bucket Forking: Create forked buckets from existing buckets or snapshots
• Multiple Usage Patterns: Context managers, decorators, helper functions, or wrapper client
• Zero Configuration: Works with existing boto3 code
• Type Safe: Full type hints for IDE support
• Pythonic API: Uses familiar Python patterns

Installation

pip install tigris-boto3-ext

Usage Patterns

1. Context Managers (Recommended)

Enable Snapshots for Bucket Creation

from tigris_boto3_ext import TigrisSnapshotEnabled

with TigrisSnapshotEnabled(s3_client):
    s3_client.create_bucket(Bucket='my-snapshot-bucket')

Work with Snapshots

from tigris_boto3_ext import TigrisSnapshot

# List snapshots for a bucket
with TigrisSnapshot(s3_client, 'my-bucket'):
    snapshots = s3_client.list_buckets()

# Read objects from a specific snapshot
with TigrisSnapshot(s3_client, 'my-bucket', snapshot_version='12345'):
    obj = s3_client.get_object(Bucket='my-bucket', Key='file.txt')
    objects = s3_client.list_objects_v2(Bucket='my-bucket')

Create Forked Buckets

from tigris_boto3_ext import TigrisFork

# Fork from current state
with TigrisFork(s3_client, 'source-bucket'):
    s3_client.create_bucket(Bucket='forked-bucket')

# Fork from specific snapshot
with TigrisFork(s3_client, 'source-bucket', snapshot_version='12345'):
    s3_client.create_bucket(Bucket='forked-from-snapshot')

2. Decorators

from tigris_boto3_ext import snapshot_enabled, with_snapshot, forked_from

@snapshot_enabled
def create_snapshot_enabled_bucket(s3_client, bucket_name):
    return s3_client.create_bucket(Bucket=bucket_name)

# List available snapshots
@with_snapshot('my-bucket')
def list_snapshots(s3_client):
    return s3_client.list_buckets()

# Read from specific snapshot
@with_snapshot('my-bucket', snapshot_version='12345')
def read_from_snapshot(s3_client, key):
    return s3_client.get_object(Bucket='my-bucket', Key=key)

@forked_from('source-bucket', snapshot_version='12345')
def create_my_fork(s3_client, new_bucket):
    return s3_client.create_bucket(Bucket=new_bucket)

# Use the decorated functions
create_snapshot_enabled_bucket(s3_client, 'my-bucket')
snapshots = list_snapshots(s3_client)
obj = read_from_snapshot(s3_client, 'file.txt')
create_my_fork(s3_client, 'my-fork')

3. Helper Functions

from tigris_boto3_ext import (
    create_snapshot_bucket,
    create_snapshot,
    list_snapshots,
    create_fork,
    get_object_from_snapshot,
    get_snapshot_version,
    list_objects_from_snapshot,
    head_object_from_snapshot,
    has_snapshot_enabled,
    get_bucket_info,
)

# Create snapshot-enabled bucket
create_snapshot_bucket(s3_client, 'my-bucket')

# Check if bucket has snapshots enabled
if has_snapshot_enabled(s3_client, 'my-bucket'):
    print("Snapshots are enabled!")

# Get comprehensive bucket information
info = get_bucket_info(s3_client, 'my-bucket')
print(f"Snapshot enabled: {info['snapshot_enabled']}")

# Create snapshots
result = create_snapshot(s3_client, 'my-bucket', snapshot_name='backup-1')
version = get_snapshot_version(result)

# List snapshots
snapshots = list_snapshots(s3_client, 'my-bucket')

# Create forks
create_fork(s3_client, 'new-bucket', 'source-bucket', snapshot_version=version)

# Access snapshot data
obj = get_object_from_snapshot(s3_client, 'my-bucket', 'file.txt', version)
objects = list_objects_from_snapshot(s3_client, 'my-bucket', '12345', Prefix='data/')
metadata = head_object_from_snapshot(s3_client, 'my-bucket', 'file.txt', '12345')

Complete Examples

Example 1: Backup and Restore Workflow

import boto3
from tigris_boto3_ext import (
    create_snapshot_bucket,
    create_snapshot,
    list_snapshots,
    create_fork,
    get_snapshot_version,
)

s3 = boto3.client('s3')

# Create a snapshot-enabled bucket
create_snapshot_bucket(s3, 'production-data')

# Add some data
s3.put_object(Bucket='production-data', Key='important.txt', Body=b'critical data')

# Create a snapshot
snapshot_result = create_snapshot(s3, 'production-data', snapshot_name='daily-backup')
snapshot_version = get_snapshot_version(snapshot_result)

# List all snapshots
snapshots = list_snapshots(s3, 'production-data')
for bucket in snapshots.get('Buckets', []):
    print(f"Snapshot: {bucket['Name']}")

# Restore from snapshot by creating a fork
create_fork(s3, 'restored-data', 'production-data', snapshot_version=snapshot_version)

Example 2: Testing with Snapshot Isolation

import boto3
from tigris_boto3_ext import create_fork, create_snapshot, get_snapshot_version

s3 = boto3.client('s3')

# Create a snapshot of production data
snapshot_result = create_snapshot(s3, 'production-data', snapshot_name='test-snapshot')
snapshot_version = get_snapshot_version(snapshot_result)

# Fork for testing (isolated copy)
create_fork(s3, 'test-data', 'production-data', snapshot_version=snapshot_version)

# Run tests against test-db without affecting production
s3.put_object(Bucket='test-data', Key='test-data.txt', Body=b'test data')

# Clean up test bucket when done
s3.delete_bucket(Bucket='test-data')

Example 3: Time-Travel Queries

import boto3
from tigris_boto3_ext import get_object_from_snapshot, list_objects_from_snapshot

s3 = boto3.client('s3')

# Get object as it was at a specific snapshot
historical_obj = get_object_from_snapshot(
    s3,
    'my-bucket',
    'config.json',
    snapshot_version='12345'
)
old_config = historical_obj['Body'].read()

# List all objects in historical snapshot
historical_objects = list_objects_from_snapshot(
    s3,
    'my-bucket',
    snapshot_version='12345',
    Prefix='logs/2024/'
)

for obj in historical_objects.get('Contents', []):
    print(f"Historical object: {obj['Key']}")

Example 4: Retrieving Bucket Snapshot and Fork Information

import boto3
from tigris_boto3_ext import (
    create_snapshot_bucket,
    create_snapshot,
    create_fork,
    get_snapshot_version,
    has_snapshot_enabled,
    get_bucket_info,
)

s3 = boto3.client('s3')

# Check if a bucket has snapshots enabled
bucket_name = 'my-bucket'

create_snapshot_bucket(s3, bucket_name)

if has_snapshot_enabled(s3, bucket_name):
    print(f"✓ Snapshots are enabled for {bucket_name}")
else:
    print(f"✗ Snapshots are not enabled for {bucket_name}")

# Get comprehensive bucket information
info = get_bucket_info(s3, bucket_name)
print(f"Snapshot enabled: {info['snapshot_enabled']}")

# Example: Check fork lineage
source_bucket = 'production-data'
create_snapshot_bucket(s3, source_bucket)

# Create a snapshot
snapshot_result = create_snapshot(s3, source_bucket, snapshot_name='v1')
snapshot_version = get_snapshot_version(snapshot_result)

# Create a fork
forked_bucket = 'test-data'
create_fork(s3, forked_bucket, source_bucket, snapshot_version=snapshot_version)

# Inspect the fork
fork_info = get_bucket_info(s3, forked_bucket)
print(f"Forked from: {fork_info['fork_source_bucket']}")
print(f"Snapshot version: {fork_info['fork_source_snapshot']}")

How It Works

This library uses boto3's event system to inject Tigris-specific headers into S3 API requests:

Request Headers (Sent to Tigris)

• X-Tigris-Enable-Snapshot: true - Enables snapshot support for bucket creation
• X-Tigris-Snapshot: true; name=<name> - Creates a snapshot
• X-Tigris-Snapshot: <bucket_name> - Lists snapshots for a bucket
• X-Tigris-Snapshot-Version: <version> - Reads from specific snapshot version
• X-Tigris-Fork-Source-Bucket: <bucket> - Specifies fork source
• X-Tigris-Fork-Source-Bucket-Snapshot: <version> - Forks from specific snapshot

Response Headers (Returned by Tigris)

The following custom headers are returned in HeadBucket responses and can be accessed via get_bucket_info() and has_snapshot_enabled():

• X-Tigris-Enable-Snapshot: true - Present when snapshots are enabled for the bucket
• X-Tigris-Fork-Source-Bucket: <bucket_name> - Present on forked buckets, indicates the parent bucket
• X-Tigris-Fork-Source-Bucket-Snapshot: <version> - Present on forked buckets, indicates the snapshot version

The library registers event handlers on before-sign.s3.* events to add request headers transparently.

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• boto3 >= 1.26.0
