# go-ceph - Go bindings for Ceph APIs (RBD, RADOS, CephFS) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/noahdesu/go-ceph.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/noahdesu/go-ceph) [![Godoc](http://img.shields.io/badge/godoc-reference-blue.svg?style=flat)](https://godoc.org/github.com/noahdesu/go-ceph) [![license](http://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-red.svg?style=flat)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/noahdesu/go-ceph/master/LICENSE) This project uses Semantic Versioning (http://semver.org/). ## Installation go get github.com/noahdesu/go-ceph The native RADOS library and development headers are expected to be installed. ## Documentation Detailed documentation is available at . ### Connecting to a cluster Connect to a Ceph cluster using a configuration file located in the default search paths. ```go conn, _ := rados.NewConn() conn.ReadDefaultConfigFile() conn.Connect() ``` A connection can be shutdown by calling the `Shutdown` method on the connection object (e.g. `conn.Shutdown()`). There are also other methods for configuring the connection. Specific configuration options can be set: ```go conn.SetConfigOption("log_file", "/dev/null") ``` and command line options can also be used using the `ParseCmdLineArgs` method. ```go args := []string{ "--mon-host", "1.1.1.1" } err := conn.ParseCmdLineArgs(args) ``` For other configuration options see the full documentation. ### Object I/O Object in RADOS can be written to and read from with through an interface very similar to a standard file I/O interface: ```go // open a pool handle ioctx, err := conn.OpenIOContext("mypool") // write some data bytes_in := []byte("input data") err = ioctx.Write("obj", bytes_in, 0) // read the data back out bytes_out := make([]byte, len(bytes_in)) n_out, err := ioctx.Read("obj", bytes_out, 0) if bytes_in != bytes_out { fmt.Println("Output is not input!") } ``` ### Pool maintenance The list of pools in a cluster can be retreived using the `ListPools` method on the connection object. On a new cluster the following code snippet: ```go pools, _ := conn.ListPools() fmt.Println(pools) ``` will produce the output `[data metadata rbd]`, along with any other pools that might exist in your cluster. Pools can also be created and destroyed. The following creates a new, empty pool with default settings. ```go conn.MakePool("new_pool") ``` Deleting a pool is also easy. Call `DeletePool(name string)` on a connection object to delete a pool with the given name. The following will delete the pool named `new_pool` and remove all of the pool's data. ```go conn.DeletePool("new_pool") ``` ## Contributing Contributions are welcome & greatly appreciated, every little bit helps. Make code changes via Github pull requests: - Fork the repo and create a topic branch for every feature/fix. Avoid making changes directly on master branch. - All incoming features should be accompanied with tests. - Make sure that you run `go fmt` before submitting a change set. Alternatively the Makefile has a flag for this, so you can call `make fmt` as well. - The integration tests can be run in a docker container, for this run: ``` make test-docker ```
