Copyblocks

This program can copy Mimir blocks between two buckets.

By default, the copy will be attempted server-side if both the source and destination specify the same object storage service. If the buckets are on different object storage services, or if --client-side-copy is passed, then the copy will be performed client side.

The currently supported services are Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3 and S3-compatible), Azure Blob Storage (ABS), and Google Cloud Storage (GCS).

Features

• Prevents copying blocks multiple times to the same destination bucket by uploading block marker files to the source bucket
• Runs continuously with periodic checks when supplied a time duration with --copy-period, otherwise runs one check then exits
• Include or exclude users from having blocks copied (--enabled-users and --disabled-users)
• Configurable minimum block duration (--min-block-duration) and (--skip-no-compact-block-duration-check) to target blocks that are not awaiting compaction
• Configurable time range (--min-time and --max-time) to only copy blocks inclusively within a provided range
• Log what would be copied without actually copying anything with --dry-run

Running

Running go build in this directory builds the program. Then use an example below as a guide.

Example for Google Cloud Storage

./copyblocks \
  --source.backend gcs \
  --destination.backend gcs \
  --gcs.source.bucket-name <source bucket name> \
  --gcs.destination.bucket-name <destination bucket name> \
  --copy-period 24h \
  --min-block-duration 13h \
  --dry-run

Example for Azure Blob Storage

./copyblocks \
  --source.backend azure \
  --destination.backend azure \
  --azure.source.container-name <source container name> \
  --azure.source.account-name <source account name> \
  --azure.source.account-key <source account key> \
  --azure.destination.container-name <destination container name> \
  --azure.destination.account-name <destination account name> \
  --azure.destination.account-key <destination account key> \
  --copy-period 24h \
  --min-block-duration 13h \
  --dry-run

Example for Amazon Simple Storage Service

The destination is called to intiate the server-side copy which may require setting up additional permissions for the copy to have access the source bucket. Consider passing --client-side-copy to avoid having to deal with that.

./copyblocks \
  --source.backend s3 \
  --destination.backend s3 \
  --s3.source.bucket-name <source bucket name> \
  --s3.source.access-key-id <source access key id> \
  --s3.source.secret-access-key <source secret access key> \
  --s3.source.endpoint <source endpoint> \
  --s3.destination.bucket-name <destination bucket name> \
  --s3.destination.access-key-id <destination access key id> \
  --s3.destination.secret-access-key <destination secret access key> \
  --s3.destination.endpoint <destination endpoint> \
  --copy-period 24h \
  --min-block-duration 13h \
  --dry-run

Example for copying between different providers

Combine the relevant source and destination configuration options using the above examples as a guide. For instance, to copy from S3 to ABS:

./copyblocks \
  --source.backend s3 \
  --destination.backend azure \
  --s3.source.bucket-name <source bucket name> \
  --s3.source.access-key-id <source access key> \
  --s3.source.secret-access-key <source secret access key> \
  --s3.source.endpoint <source endpoint> \
  --azure.destination.container-name <destination container name> \
  --azure.destination.account-name <destination account name> \
  --azure.destination.account-key <destination account key> \
  --copy-period 24h \
  --min-block-duration 13h \
  --dry-run
