Dear clapf-users,
recently I have changed the quarantine structure. Formerly it consisted
by the first character of the username and the username itself, eg.
.../lib/clapf/queue/j/jack
This splitting may produce a rather unbalanced setup where some
directories have lots of entries, and other directories have a few only.
So I tried a different splitting method based on the uid to let a single
directory have max. 100 subdirectories, eg. let's Jack's uid is 95, then
his queue directory is .../lib/queue/10000/100/95
This splitting model produces balanced directories, however it requires
that every user needs a unique uid. For most environments this may not
be a problem, but you can have a very specific setup.
One problem may arise. The per user uid field is used to determine the
token set used in the statistic calculation. If you have a shared group,
this is not an issue. But if you have a group, let's say with 10 users
sharing the same uid (in order to share a common _merged_ token set),
the new splitting model may causes problems as they can see each others
quarantine from the webui.
So I would like you to know your opinion, suggestions about the
situation above before the new model goes mainline.
Best regards,
Janos
