aiida.repository.backend package#

Module for file repository backend implementations.

Submodules#

Class that defines the abstract interface for an object repository.

The scope of this class is intentionally very narrow. Any backend implementation should merely provide the methods to store binary blobs, or “objects”, and return a string-based key that unique identifies the object that was just created. This key should then be able to be used to retrieve the bytes of the corresponding object or to delete it.

class aiida.repository.backend.abstract.AbstractRepositoryBackend[source]#

Bases: object

Class that defines the abstract interface for an object repository.

The repository backend only deals with raw bytes, both when creating new objects as well as when returning a stream or the content of an existing object. The encoding and decoding of the byte content should be done by the client upstream. The file repository backend is also not expected to keep any kind of file hierarchy but must be assumed to be a simple flat data store. When files are created in the file object repository, the implementation will return a string-based key with which the content of the stored object can be addressed. This key is guaranteed to be unique and persistent. Persisting the key or mapping it onto a virtual file hierarchy is again up to the client upstream.

_abc_impl = <_abc._abc_data object>#
abstract _put_object_from_filelike(handle: BinaryIO) str[source]#
delete_object(key: str) None[source]#

Delete the object from the repository.

Parameters:

key – fully qualified identifier for the object within the repository.

Raises:
abstract delete_objects(keys: List[str]) None[source]#

Delete the objects from the repository.

Parameters:

keys – list of fully qualified identifiers for the objects within the repository.

Raises:
abstract erase() None[source]#

Delete the repository itself and all its contents.

Note

This should not merely delete the contents of the repository but any resources it created. For example, if the repository is essentially a folder on disk, the folder itself should also be deleted, not just its contents.

abstract get_info(detailed: bool = False, **kwargs) dict[source]#

Returns relevant information about the content of the repository.

Parameters:

detailed – flag to enable extra information (detailed=False by default, only returns basic information).

Returns:

a dictionary with the information.

get_object_content(key: str) bytes[source]#

Return the content of a object identified by key.

Parameters:

key – fully qualified identifier for the object within the repository.

Raises:
get_object_hash(key: str) str[source]#

Return the SHA-256 hash of an object stored under the given key.

Important

A SHA-256 hash should always be returned, to ensure consistency across different repository implementations.

Parameters:

key – fully qualified identifier for the object within the repository.

Raises:
has_object(key: str) bool[source]#

Return whether the repository has an object with the given key.

Parameters:

key – fully qualified identifier for the object within the repository.

Returns:

True if the object exists, False otherwise.

abstract has_objects(keys: List[str]) List[bool][source]#

Return whether the repository has an object with the given key.

Parameters:

keys – list of fully qualified identifiers for objects within the repository.

Returns:

list of logicals, in the same order as the keys provided, with value True if the respective object exists and False otherwise.

abstract initialise(**kwargs) None[source]#

Initialise the repository if it hasn’t already been initialised.

Parameters:

kwargs – parameters for the initialisation.

abstract property is_initialised: bool#

Return whether the repository has been initialised.

static is_readable_byte_stream(handle) bool[source]#
abstract iter_object_streams(keys: List[str]) Iterator[Tuple[str, BinaryIO]][source]#

Return an iterator over the (read-only) byte streams of objects identified by key.

Note

handles should only be read within the context of this iterator.

Parameters:

keys – fully qualified identifiers for the objects within the repository.

Returns:

an iterator over the object byte streams.

Raises:
abstract property key_format: str | None#

Return the format for the keys of the repository.

Important for when migrating between backends (e.g. archive -> main), as if they are not equal then it is necessary to re-compute all the Node.base.repository.metadata before importing (otherwise they will not match with the repository).

abstract list_objects() Iterable[str][source]#

Return iterable that yields all available objects by key.

Returns:

An iterable for all the available object keys.

abstract maintain(dry_run: bool = False, live: bool = True, **kwargs) None[source]#

Performs maintenance operations.

Parameters:
  • dry_run – flag to only print the actions that would be taken without actually executing them.

  • live – flag to indicate to the backend whether AiiDA is live or not (i.e. if the profile of the backend is currently being used/accessed). The backend is expected then to only allow (and thus set by default) the operations that are safe to perform in this state.

open(key: str) Iterator[BinaryIO][source]#

Open a file handle to an object stored under the given key.

Note

this should only be used to open a handle to read an existing file. To write a new file use the method put_object_from_filelike instead.

Parameters:

key – fully qualified identifier for the object within the repository.

Returns:

yield a byte stream object.

Raises:
put_object_from_file(filepath: str | Path) str[source]#

Store a new object with contents of the file located at filepath on this file system.

Parameters:

filepath – absolute path of file whose contents to copy to the repository.

Returns:

the generated fully qualified identifier for the object within the repository.

Raises:

TypeError – if the handle is not a byte stream.

put_object_from_filelike(handle: BinaryIO) str[source]#

Store the byte contents of a file in the repository.

Parameters:

handle – filelike object with the byte content to be stored.

Returns:

the generated fully qualified identifier for the object within the repository.

Raises:

TypeError – if the handle is not a byte stream.

abstract property uuid: str | None#

Return the unique identifier of the repository.

Implementation of the AbstractRepositoryBackend using the disk-objectstore as the backend.

class aiida.repository.backend.disk_object_store.DiskObjectStoreRepositoryBackend(container: Container)[source]#

Bases: AbstractRepositoryBackend

Implementation of the AbstractRepositoryBackend using the disk-object-store as the backend.

Note

For certain methods, the container may create a sessions which should be closed after the operation is done to make sure the connection to the underlying sqlite database is closed. The best way is to accomplish this is by using the container as a context manager, which will automatically call the close method when it exits which ensures the session being closed. Note that not all methods may open the session and so need closing it, but to be on the safe side, we put every use of the container in a context manager. If no session is created, the close method is essentially a no-op.
