Week 8

• Testing and debugging different scenarios
• Developed a small & simple monitor to see what goes on during requests
• Code freezed. HydraFS 0.01a ready for presentation!

Week 7

• Fixed some really obscure threading bugs
• Successfully submitted my entire home directory to the file system (851 files)
• Clients can now get info on files and directory listings from metadata server
• Currently testing with a couple of custom applications (and fixing a few bugs)
• Data servers are now syncing with the metadata server upon startup
• Implemented a simple round-robin selection policy for dataservers

Week 6

• Clients can now delete files from the filesystem
• Cleaned up and rewrote part of the client library
• Newly created files are now being replicated through the data nodes

Week 5

• Data servers already storing files as objects, per requests of clients directed from metadata server
• Clients can now get files that are stored in the filesystems
• Clients can now append and write to files stored in the filesystems, and both metadata and data servers are tracking versions succesfully

Week 4

• Database & abstraction layer for storing filesystem structure finished
• Created small console utility for displaying the full contents of the database
• Metadata server is now accepting requests for creating files & adding them to the location/versioning database
• Clients can now connect to the metadata server to request file creation & be redirected to a proper dataserver to balance load

Week 3

• Metadata server is now threaded and serves requests
• Data servers are able to announce themselves to the metadata servers and keep their status alive with heartbeats.
• Both metadata & data server now read their config from XML files

Week 2:

• Created request dispatch mechanism for metadata & data servers
• Created socket transport layer & packet creation module

Week 1

• Designed transport communications layer
