Filer server

POST/PUT/Get files

# Basic Usage:
    //create or overwrite the file, the directories /path/to will be automatically created
    POST /path/to/file
    //get the file content
    GET /path/to/file
    //create or overwrite the file, the filename in the multipart request will be used
    POST /path/to/
    //return a json format subdirectory and files listing
    GET /path/to/
        Accept: application/json
 
# options for POST a file:
    // set file TTL for Cassandra or Redis filer store.
    POST /path/to/file?ttl=1d
    // set file mode when creating or overwriting a file
    POST /path/to/file?mode=0755

Examples:

# Basic Usage:
> curl -F file=@report.js "http://localhost:8888/javascript/"
{"name":"report.js","size":866,"fid":"7,0254f1f3fd","url":"http://localhost:8081/7,0254f1f3fd"}
> curl  "http://localhost:8888/javascript/report.js"   # get the file content
...
> curl -F file=@report.js "http://localhost:8888/javascript/new_name.js"    # upload the file with a different name (The local report.js becomes new_name.js on the server side.)
{"name":"report.js","size":866,"fid":"3,034389657e","url":"http://localhost:8081/3,034389657e"}
> curl  -H "Accept: application/json" "http://localhost:8888/javascript/?pretty=y"            # list all files under /javascript/
{
  "Directory": "/javascript/",
  "Files": [
    {
      "name": "new_name.js",
      "fid": "3,034389657e"
    },
    {
      "name": "report.js",
      "fid": "7,0254f1f3fd"
    }
  ],
  "Subdirectories": null
}

List files under a directory

This is for embedded filer only.

Some folder can be very large. To efficiently list files, we use a non-traditional way to iterate files. Every pagination you provide a "lastFileName", and a "limit=x". The filer locate the "lastFileName" in O(log(n)) time, and retrieve the next x files.

curl  "http://localhost:8888/javascript/?pretty=y&lastFileName=new_name.js&limit=2"
{
  "Directory": "/javascript/",
  "Files": [
    {
      "name": "report.js",
      "fid": "7,0254f1f3fd"
    }
  ]
}

Deletion

Delete a file

> curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8888/path/to/file

Delete a folder

// recursively delete all files and folders under a path
> curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8888/path/to/dir?recursive=true
// recursively delete everything, ignoring any recursive error
> curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8888/path/to/dir?recursive=true&ignoreRecursiveError=true
 
// For Experts Only: remove filer directories only, without removing data chunks. 
// see https://github.com/chrislusf/seaweedfs/pull/1153
> curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8888/path/to?recursive=true&skipChunkDeletion=true
