Module Plasma_client_config

module Plasma_client_config: sig .. end

Configuration of clients

class type client_config = object .. end

val parse_config_file : string -> client_config list

Parses the config file and returns all included configs

The config file should look like:

      plasmafs {
        cluster {
          clustername = "cluster1";
          node { addr = "hostname:port" };
          node { addr = "hostname:port" };
          ...
        }
        ... (* more [cluster] sections possible *)
      }

As usual, one can also have

 
       node_list = "filename";
       port = <default_port>;

instead of several node/addr sections.

val get_config : ?clustername:string ->
       ?nn_nodes:string list -> unit -> client_config

get_config (): This is the standard way for clients to obtain a config object:

If both clustername and nn_nodes are passed, this configuration is taken
The file ~/.plasmafs is parsed and all configurations are extracted.
If a clustername is passed, this configuration is selected (it is an error if this does not exist)
If no clustername is passed, and the environment variable PLASMAFS_CLUSTER is set, this variable selects the cluster
Otherwise, the first configuration from ~/.plasmafs is selected.
Otherwise the algorithm fails.
