The parser now supports concurrent parsing of all plugin options.
Moved HDF5 collective_md option into the backend as an example.
Example: ./src/ior -a dummy --dummy.delay-xfer=50000
Context: Some backends may have used different names in
the past (like IME backend use to be IM). Legacy scripts
may break.
This patch adds a legacy name option in the aiori structure.
Both name and legacy name work to select the interface.
But the following warning is printed if the legacy name is used:
ior WARNING: [legacy name] backend is deprecated use [name] instead.
Context: IOR initializes all available backends. If one
backend fails to initialize IOR cannot be used.
This patch makes IOR initialize only the backends
which will be used. The initialization is done after
that the parameters are checked so that the help message
can still be dispayed is something goes wrong.

It shares the create/open/delete/set_version/get_file_size
functions with POSIX backend.
The mmap backend also supports fsync and fsyncPerWrite options,
and it will use msync() instead and fsync().

This commit makes changes to the AIORI backends to add support for
abstacting statfs, mkdir, rmdir, stat, and access. These new
abstractions are used by a modified mdtest. Some changes:
- Require C99. Its 2017 and most compilers now support C11. The
benefits of using C99 include subobject naming (for aiori backend
structs), and fixed size integers (uint64_t). There is no reason to
use the non-standard long long type.
- Moved some of the aiori code into aiori.c so it can be used by both
mdtest and ior.
- Code cleanup of mdtest. This is mostly due to the usage of the IOR
backends rather than a mess of #if code.

These are variants on S3. S3 uses the "pure" S3 interface, e.g. using
Multi-Part-Upload. The "plus" variant enables EMC-extensions in the aws4c
library. This allows the N:N case to use "append", in the case where
"transfer_size" != "block_size" for IOR. In pure S3, the N:N case will
fail, because the EMC-extensions won't be enabled, and appending (which
attempts to use the EMC byte-range tricks to do this) will throw an error.
In the S3_EMC alg, N:1 uses EMCs other byte-range tricks to write different
parts of an N:1 file, and also uses append to write the parts of an N:N
file. Preliminary tests show these EMC extensions look to improve BW by
~20%.
I put all three algs in aiori-S3.c, because it seemed some code was getting
reused. Not sure if that's still going to make sense after the TBD, below.
TBD: Recently realized that the "pure' S3 shouldn't be trying to use
appends for anything. In the N:N case, it should just use MPU, within each
file. Then, there's no need for S3_plus. We just have S3, which does MPU
for all writes where transfer_size != block_size, and uses (standard)
byte-range reads for reading. Then S3_EMC uses "appends for N:N writes,
and byte-range writes for N:1 writes. This separates the code for the two
algs a little more, but we might still want them in the same file.
Testing on our EMC ViPR installation. Therefore, we also have available
some EMC extensions. For example, EMC supports a special "byte-range"
header-option ("Range: bytes=-1-") which allows appending to an object.
This is not needed for N:1 (where every write creates an independent part),
but is vital for N:N (where every write is considered an append, unless
"transfer-size" is the same as "block-size").
We also use a LANL-extended implementation of aws4c 0.5, which provides
some special features, and allows greater efficiency. That is included in
this commit as a tarball. Untar it somewhere else and build it, to produce
a library, which is linked with IOR. (configure with --with-S3).
TBD: EMC also supports a simpler alternative to Multi-Part Upload, which
appears to have several advantages. We'll add that in next, but wanted to
capture this as is, before I break it.
This provides an HDFS back-end, allowing IOR to exercise a Hadoop
Distributed File-System, plus corresponding changes throughout, to
integrate the new module into the build. The commit compiles at LANL, but
hasn't been run yet. We're currently waiting for some configuration on
machines that will eventually provide HDFS. By default, configure ignores
the HDFS module. You have to explicitly add --with-hdfs.
Clean up the header files to only contain those things that
need to be shared between .c files.
Functions that are not shared are now declared static to
make their file scope explicit. Functions that ARE shared
are declared in appropriate headers.
I am not going to claim that I caugh everything, but at
least it is a good start.
Error out immediately if a lustre option was specified,
but no lustre support was compiled in.
Set a flag when any lustre string options are set, to
make the code cleaner.
