[storage] Add RustFS as an S3-compatible object storage backend - #323
PhilipBenson wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
…torage Closes spcl#229. Functions outside the Docker bridge (OpenWhisk) receive `external_address`, detected on `sebs storage start` or set with `--external-address`, and overridable with `--storage-address`. Also: pull Minio from quay.io, fix cached ScyllaDB lookup and OpenWhisk shutdownStorage, document the storage flow.
Generalize the Minio class into S3CompatibleStorage (rename of minio.py, see `git diff -B -M`) with Minio and RustFS as thin subclasses. Minio remains the default; RustFS is pinned to 1.0.0-rc.6.
|
Smoke-level comparison of the two backends on the local deployment: one host (24 cores, Docker 29.7),
Latencies are within noise of each other at this input size; RustFS shows slightly lower p95 tails and two to four times the storage-container CPU time, on absolute values of a few hundred milliseconds per run. 311.compression could not be measured on either backend: the local Python wrapper calls |

Clarify RustFS in the shutdownStorage documentation.
RustFS is now supported for OpenWhisk, but this sentence names only Minio and ScyllaDB. Users cannot determine whether shutdownStorage also stops the configured RustFS instance. Name RustFS here, or describe the configured object-storage backend. If RustFS is not stopped, document that exception.

@PhilipBenson In the storage documentation, we should write about this change: we used Minio (until 1.2), changing in September 2026 to RustFS as the default (explain the reasons).

Handle type-less object-storage cache records.
If OpenWhiskFunctionConfig.deserialize receives an object_storage mapping without "type", the lookup raises KeyError before CONFIG_TYPE.deserialize can apply the MinioConfig default. Pre-change MinioConfig.serialize() includes "type": "minio", so this affects only type-less legacy or manually created records. Treat a missing type as "minio" or migrate those records before the lookup.

Fix the cached object-storage key layout.
SelfHostedResources.update_cache writes S3CompatibleConfig fields directly below resources.storage. _deserialize_storage(..., "object") instead requires resources.storage.object.type and resources.storage.object.<implementation>. S3CompatibleConfig has no object field, so cached object-storage configuration is not restored. Align the writer and reader layouts.

Fix the remove_bucket argument name.
The MinIO SDK method signature is remove_bucket(bucket_name). It does not accept a Bucket keyword. Any call raises TypeError before a request is sent. Both Minio and RustFS now share this method.

Populate external_address when restoring legacy configurations.
Configurations written before this field existed deserialize with an empty external_address. ScyllaDB._deserialize returns without calling configure_external_address, so this line exports the Linux bridge address to OpenWhisk. Remote functions cannot route to that address. Resolve the external address when restoring a configuration that has none.

@mcopik, confirmed. This is an operational compatibility break for older generated storage configurations.
ScyllaDBConfig.deserialize() accepts a missing external_address and leaves it empty. ScyllaDB._deserialize() does not call configure_external_address(). OpenWhisk then calls nosql_storage.envs() with the default external=True, which exports the old internal address as NOSQL_STORAGE_ENDPOINT.
On Linux, that address is the Docker bridge IP. OpenWhisk functions cannot normally reach it.
The compatibility fix must populate external_address after restoring a legacy configuration. The same legacy-restoration path should be checked for S3-compatible object storage, because its configuration uses the same external-address fallback.

Normalize bare IPv6 addresses.
When an operator passes --storage-address 2001:db8::1, this test treats the IPv6 separators as an existing port. The function returns an unbracketed address without the mapped port. Consumers then construct an invalid HTTP authority and remote functions cannot connect. Detect bare IPv6 literals before this test and return [address]:port.

We can use that as long as it's reliable - I also pushed that one particular release as spcleth/serverless-benchmarks:minio-reproducibility-archive-RELEASE.2024-07-16T23-46-41Z to have a backup for reproducibility. We can also upgrade MinIO to the last release that was still license-friendly (like agpl).

I think that is wrong (in the original code) - we should pull not latest, but the one pinned in config. And maybe we should skip it - let's pull when user uses Minio/RustFS

@PhilipBenson Thanks for raising and fixing this issue! Please check the comments from me and the review agent :) There's one concern: if MinIO Docker images are gone, the Python/Node.js MinIO packages might be gone as well. What does RustFS offer here?

Stacked on #322; merge that first. Until then this diff includes its commits; I will rebase once it lands.
MinIO's community edition is archived and its images are gone from Docker Hub. This adds RustFS (Apache-2.0, S3-compatible) as a second self-hosted object storage, selected with
"type": "rustfs"; seeconfigs/storage-rustfs.json. Minio stays the default.S3CompatibleStorageinsebs/storage/s3compatible.py(review withgit diff -B -M, it is a rename). It owns the container lifecycle, address handling and the S3 client.MinioandRustFSare thin subclasses: image, command, credential env vars, health endpoint, and host directory vs. named volume for data.MinioConfigandRustFSConfigsubclass a sharedS3CompatibleConfigand differ only intype; existing caches deserialize unchanged.1.0.0-rc.6and documented as a release candidate.Other S3-compatible engines fit the same layout as another subclass plus a config type. Garage would be a candidate; it additionally needs a layout and key bootstrap through its CLI before the S3 API accepts requests.
Tested: every SDK call SeBS makes against RustFS with the pinned
minio==5.0.10; 210.thumbnailer and 120.uploader on local and 210.thumbnailer on OpenWhisk with RustFS; Minio regression on both. A 20-invocation comparison on local shows both backends within noise of each other; table in the comment below.Summary by CodeRabbit
