Package gc contains the functions needed to run garbage collection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The gc.PieceTracker implements the metainfo loop Observer interface
|
||
|
|
allowing us to subscribe to the loop to get information for every segment
|
||
|
|
in the metainfo database.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The gc.PieceTracker handling functions are used by the gc.Service to periodically
|
||
|
|
account for all existing pieces on storage nodes and create "retain requests"
|
||
|
|
which contain a bloom filter of all pieces that possibly exist on a storage node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The gc.Service will send that request to the storagenode after a full metaloop
|
||
|
|
iteration, and the storage node will use that request to delete the "garbage" pieces
|
||
|
|
that are not in the bloom filter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See storj/docs/design/garbage-collection.md for more info.
