xrdsum 0.2.2

Package for retrieving and calculating checksums for XRootD

xrdsum

XrootD plugin for calculating checksums and storing them in extended attributes. Currently supports ADLER32 checksum and HDFS as backend. Borrows heavily from cephsum plugin.

This plugin is designed to easily accommodate new checksum types and backends. Additional dependencies for backends are defined as optional dependencies for the package (see usage instructions).

pip install xrdsum[hdfs]

xrdsum --help

xrootd config
