desperados: a Ruby library for RADOS

[John Leach <john@brightbox.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I've just made the first release of my RADOS Ruby library, desperados.

It's dead easy to use:

  pool = Rados::Pool.create("mypool")
  o = pool.objects.new("mykey")
  o.write("Once upon")
  o.write(" a time")
  o.seek(0)
  o.read == "Once upon a time"
  o = pool.objects.find("mykey")
  o.seek(5)
  o.read == "upon a time"

I've been using it to read and write thousands of pool and millions of
objects whilst load testing ceph and it's behaved well.

Behind the scenes it just uses librados (via the Ruby FFI).

The code is on github: https://github.com/johnl/desperados

Documentation here: http://rdoc.info/gems/desperados/0.1/frames

And there is a gem available: https://rubygems.org/gems/desperados

Thanks,

John.
