desperados: a Ruby library for RADOS

desperados: a Ruby library for RADOS

[John Leach]

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

You can file bugs or feature requests on github too:
https://github.com/johnl/desperados/issues

Bug reports and contributions are welcomed!

Thanks,

John.

Sounds great! I'm no ruby user at all, but browsing through the
sourcecode it seems very simple to attach external lib's to Ruby.

I found it a bit too much to create a patch for it, but browsing through
your .spec file:

  s.email       = ["john@johnleach.co.uk.co.uk"]

Isn't there a .co.uk too much?
