Some notes from one or two previous meetings.
This is a simplification: instead of two ways of handling deleted and repacked files, we settle on one mechanism, the recycle bin. "Superseded" should be removed.
Files in the recycle bin will not appear in tape listings using the normal tools ("cta-admin tapefile ls" etc.) and there will be no option to list them.
This task includes a separate operator tools to list files in the recycle bin and to delete them. (Q. Should operators be able to manually delete files from the recycle bin or should this be done automatically when tapes are reclaimed?)
In future we will want a tool to allow reinjection of deleted files from the recycle bin, but this is not an immediate priority, as it can be done manually by a developer if necessary. We will develop the tool when the need arises.
There are a number of problems caused by mixing repack with normal operations, because there is no separation of repack queues from the normal retrieve queues. It would be a big development effort to add separate repack queues.
An alternative proposal is to run a separate repack instance, which has its own object store and dedicated tape drives. Only the catalogue and the tapes would need to be shared with the "main" production CTA instance.
This proposal needs to be investigated to confirm it is feasible, to propose a solution to contention for tapes between the main instance and repack instance, and to identify any other problems that may arise.
