From John.Roberts at hsc.utah.edu Mon Aug 7 18:00:59 2017 From: John.Roberts at hsc.utah.edu (John Roberts) Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2017 16:00:59 -0600 Subject: [Girder-users] Mixed asset stores and data migration Message-ID: I'm interested in possibly moving the contents of an existing Filesystem assetstore into a GridFS assetstore within the same Girder server. In the admin panel, it appears I could create additional assetstores. Presumably, only one of them could be made "current" to capture subsequent file uploads. How would I migrate all the files from the filesystem assetstore into the GridFS store? Would I have to run the girder_client recursively against the existing files on Girder, download them and "re" upload them into Girder (hopefully now into the "current" GridFS assetstore)? * Would either girder_client or Girder itself say, "hey, that file is already here! We'll save you time and skip your upload!" * This strikes me as similar to migrating between two girder instances, so would I have to be careful to make sure I copied meta data as well during the recursion? Or is it likely I'll need to run a separate Girder/Mongo instance with GridFS in place and do a complete migration to the new pair? As motivation for this exercise, we're considering running a girder/mongo pair within a docker overlay network where the mongo would reside on a server with lots of storage and the girder would reside on a server with lots of compute power.
