ZEO (Zope Enterprise Objects) is a client-server system for sharing a
single storage among many clients. When you use ZEO, a lower-level
storage, typically a file storage, is opened in the ZEO server
process. Client programs connect to this process using a ZEO
ClientStorage. ZEO provides a consistent view of the database to all
clients. The ZEO client and server communicate using a custom RPC
clients. The ZEO client and server communicate using a custom
protocol layered on top of TCP.

There are several configuration options that affect the behavior of a
ZEO server. This section describes how a few of these features
working. Subsequent sections describe how to configure every option.

Each ZEO client keeps an on-disk cache of recently used data records

is to fetch them over the network. The cache can also provide
read-only copies of objects during server outages.

The default size is 20MB, but the right size depends entirely on the

performance, but in most cases making it too big just wastes disk

cache trace that can be used to determine a good cache size.

ZEO uses invalidations for cache consistency. Every time an object is
modified, the server sends a message to each client informing it of
the change. The client will discard the object from its cache when it
receives an invalidation. These invalidations are often batched.
receives an invalidation. (It's actually a little more complicated,
but we won't get into that here.)
Each time a client connects to a server, it must verify that its cache
contents are still valid. (It did not receive any invalidation
messages while it was disconnected.) There are several mechanisms
used to perform cache verification. In the worst case, the client
sends the server a list of all objects in its cache along with their
timestamps; the server sends back an invalidation message for each
stale object. The cost of verification is one drawback to making the
cache too large.
Note that every time a client crashes or disconnects, it must verify
its cache. Every time a server crashes, all of its clients must
verify their caches.
The cache verification process is optimized in two ways to eliminate
costs when restarting clients and servers. Each client keeps the
timestamp of the last invalidation message it has seen. When it
connects to the server, it checks to see if any invalidation messages
were sent after that timestamp. If not, then the cache is up-to-date
and no further verification occurs. The other optimization is the
invalidation queue, described below.
messages while it was disconnected.) This involves asking the server
to replay invalidations it missed. If it's been disconnected too long,
it discards its cache.
Invalidation queue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
------------------
The ZEO server keeps a queue of recent invalidation messages in
memory. When a client connects to the server, it sends the timestamp
of the most recent invalidation message it has received. If that
message is still in the invalidation queue, then the server sends the
client all the missing invalidations. This is often cheaper than

You can also provide an invalidation age when configuring the
server. In this case, if the invalidation queue is too small, but a
client has been disconnected for a time interval that is less than the
invalidation age, then invalidations are replayed by iterating over
the lower-level storage on the server. If the age is too high, and
clients are disconneced for a long time, then this can put a lot of
load on the server.

Connection management
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
---------------------
A ZEO client manages its connection to the ZEO server. If it loses
the connection, it attempts to reconnect. While
it is disconnected, it can satisfy some reads by using its cache.
The client can be configured to wait for a connection when it is created
or to return immediately and provide data from its persistent cache.
It usually simplifies programming to have the client wait for a
connection on startup.
When the client is disconnected, it polls periodically to see if the
server is available. The rate at which it polls is configurable.
The client can be configured with multiple server addresses. In this
case, it assumes that each server has identical content and will use
any server that is available. It is possible to configure the client
to accept a read-only connection to one of these servers if no
read-write connection is available. If it has a read-only connection,
it will continue to poll for a read-write connection. This feature
supports the Zope Replication Services product,

servers in the case of failure.
it will continue to poll for a read-write connection.
If a single address resolves to multiple IPv4 or IPv6 addresses,
the client will connect to an arbitrary of these addresses.
Authentication
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SSL
---
ZEO supports optional authentication of client and server using a
password scheme similar to HTTP digest authentication (RFC 2069). It
is a simple challenge-response protocol that does not send passwords
in the clear, but does not offer strong security. The RFC discusses
many of the limitations of this kind of protocol. Note that this
feature provides authentication only. It does not provide encryption
or confidentiality.
ZEO supports the use of SSL connections between servers and clients,
including certificate authentication. We're still understanding use
cases for this, so details of operation may change.
The challenge-response also produces a session key that is used to
generate message authentication codes for each ZEO message. This
should prevent session hijacking.
Installing software
===================
Guard the password database as if it contained plaintext passwords.
It stores the hash of a username and password. This does not expose
the plaintext password, but it is sensitive nonetheless. An attacker
with the hash can impersonate the real user. This is a limitation of
the simple digest scheme.
ZEO is installed like any other Python package using pip, buildout, or
pther Python packaging tools.
The authentication framework allows third-party developers to provide
new authentication modules.
Running the server
==================
Installing software
-------------------
Typically, the ZEO server is run using the ``runzeo`` script that's
installed as part of a ZEO installation. The ``runzeo`` script
accepts command line options, the most important of which is the
``-C`` (``--configuration``) option. ZEO servers are best configured
via configuration files. The ``runzeo`` script also accepts some
command-line arguments for ad-hoc configurations, but there's an
easier way to run an ad-hoc server described below. For more on
configuraing a ZEO server see `Server configuration`_ below.
ZEO is installed like other Python packages using pip, easy_install,
buildout, etc.
Server quick-start/ad-hoc operation
-----------------------------------
Configuring server
------------------
You can quickly start a ZEO server from a Python prompt::
import ZEO
address, stop = ZEO.server()
This runs a ZEO server on a dynamic address and using an in-memory
storage.
We can then create a ZEO client connection using the address
returned::
connection = ZEO.connection(addr)
This is a ZODB connection for a database opened on a client storage
instance created on the fly. This is a shorthand for::
db = ZEO.DB(addr)
connection = db.open()
Which is a short-hand for::
client_storage = ZEO.client(addr)
import ZODB
db = ZODB.db(client_storage)
connection = db.open()
If you exit the Python process, the storage exits as well, as it's run
in an in-process thread. It will leave behind it's configuration and
log file. This provides a handy way to get a configuration example.
You shut down the server more cleanly by calling the stop function
returned by the ``ZEO.server`` function. This will remove the
temporary configuration file.
To have data stored persistently, you can specify a file-storage path
name using a ``path`` parameter. If you want blob support, you can
specify a blob-file directory using the ``blob_dir`` directory.
You can also supply a port to listen on, full storage configuration
and ZEO server configuration options to the ``ZEO.server``
function. See it's documentation string for more information.

Tools

ZEO Clients
===========
To use a ZEO server, you need to connect to it using a ZEO client
storage. You create client storages either using a Python API or
using a ZODB storage configuration in a ZODB storage configuration
section.
Python API for creating a ZEO client storage
--------------------------------------------
To create a client storage from Python, use the ``ZEO.client``
function::
import ZEO
client = ZEO.client(8200)
In the example above, we created a client that connected to a storage
listening on port 8200 on local host. The first argument is an
address, or list of addresses to connect to. There are many additinal
options, decumented below that should be given as keyword arguments.
Addresses can be:
- A host/port tuple
- An integer, which implies that the host is '127.0.0.1'
- A unix domain socket file name.
Options:
cache_size
The cache size in bytes. This defaults to a 20MB.
cache
The ZEO cache to be used. This can be a file name, which will
cause a persisetnt standard persistent ZEO cache to be used and
stored in the given name. This can also be an object that
implements ``ZEO.interfaces.ICache``.
If not specified, then a non-persistent cache will be used.
There are a few scripts that may help running a ZEO server. The
zeopack script connects to a server and packs the storage. It can
be run as a cron job. The zeopasswd.py script
manages a ZEO servers password database.
blob_dir
The name of a directory to hold/cache blob data downloaded from the
server. This must be provided if blobs are to be used. (Of
course, the server storage must be configured to use blobs as
well.)
Diagnosing problems
-------------------
shared_blob_dir
A client can use a network files system (or a local directory if
the server runs on the same machine) to share a blob directory with
the server. This allows downloading of blobs (except via a
distributed file system) to be avoided.
If an exception occurs on the server, the server will log a traceback
and send an exception to the client. The traceback on the client will
show a ZEO protocol library as the source of the error. If you need
to diagnose the problem, you will have to look in the server log for
the rest of the traceback.
blob_cache_size
The size of the blob cache in bytes. IF unset, then blobs will
accumulate. If set, then blobs are removed when the total size
exceeds this amount. Blobs accessed least recently are removed
first.
Compatibility
=============
blob_cache_size_check
The total size of data to be downloaded to trigger blob cache size
reduction. The defaukt is 10 (percent). This controls how often to
remove blobs from the cache.
ZEO 4.0.0 requires Python 2.6 or later.
ssl
An ``ssl.SSLContext`` object used to make SSL connections.
Note --
When using ZEO and upgrading from Python 2.4, you need to upgrade
clients and servers at the same time, or upgrade clients first and
then servers. Clients running Python 2.5 or 2.6 will work with
servers running Python 2.4. Clients running Python 2.4 won't work
properly with servers running Python 2.5 or later due to changes in
the way Python implements exceptions.
ssl_server_hostname
Host name to use for SSL host name checks.
For a long time ZEO has been distributes with ZODB. ZEO 4 is
is now maintained as a separate project.
If using SSL and if host name checking is enabled in the given SSL
context then use this as the value to check. If an address is a
host/port pair, then this defaults to the host in the address.
ZEO clients from ZODB 3.2 on can talk to ZEO 4.0 servers.
ZEO 4.0 clients talk to ZODB 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 and ZEO 4.0 servers.
read_only
Set to true for a read-only connection.
Note --
ZEO 4.0 servers don't support undo for clients older than ZODB 3.10.
If false (the default), then request a read/write connection.
Testing for downloaders
=======================
This option is ignored if ``read_only_fallback`` is set to a true value.
You can run the tests with::
read_only_fallback
Set to true, then prefer a read/write connection, but be willing to
use a read-only connection. This defaults to a false value.
python setup.py test
If ``read_only_fallback`` is set, then ``read_only`` is ignored.
however, there's an issue with getting the dependencies installed
propely in a single run. If the first run fails installing
dependencies, try running the above command a second time.
wait_timeout
How long to wait for an initial connection, defaulting to 30
seconds. If an initial connection can't be made within this time
limit, then creation of the client storage will fail with a
``ZEO.Exceptions.ClientDisconnected`` exception.
Testing for Developers
======================
After the initial connection, if the client is disconnected:
The ZEO checkouts are `buildouts <http://www.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout>`_.
When working from a ZODB checkout, first run the bootstrap.py script
to initialize the buildout:
- In-flight server requests will fail with a
``ZEO.Exceptions.ClientDisconnected`` exception.
% python bootstrap.py
- New requests will block for up to ``wait_timeout`` waiting for a
connection to be established before failing with a
``ZEO.Exceptions.ClientDisconnected`` exception.
client_label
A short string to display in *server* logs for an event relating to
this client. This can be helpful when debugging.
disconnect_poll
The delay in seconds between attempts to connect to the
server, in seconds. Defaults to 1 second.
Configuration strings/files
---------------------------
ZODB databases and storages can be configured using configuration
files, or strings (extracted from configuration files). They use the
same syntax as the server configuration files described above, but
with different sections and options.
An application that used ZODB might configure it's database using a
string like::
<zodb>
cache-size-bytes 1000MB
<filestorage>
path /var/lib/Data.fs
</filestorage>
</zodb>
In this example, we configured a ZODB database with a object cache
size of 1GB. Inside the database, we configured a file storage. The
``filestorage`` section provided file-storage parameters. We saw a
similar section in the storage-server configuration example in `Server
configuration`_.
To configure a client storage, you use a ``clientstorage`` section,
but first you have to import it's definition, because ZEO isn't built
into ZODB. Here's an example::
<zodb>
cache-size-bytes 1000MB
%import ZEO
<clientstorage>
server 8200
</clientstorage>
</zodb>
In this example, we defined a client storage that connected to a
server on port 8200.
The following settings are supported:
cache-size
The cache size in bytes, KB or MB. This defaults to a 20MB.
Optional ``KB`` or ``MB`` suffixes can (and usually are) used to
specify units other than bytes.
cache-path
The file path of a persistent cache file
blob-dir
The name of a directory to hold/cache blob data downloaded from the
server. This must be provided if blobs are to be used. (Of
course, the server storage must be configured to use blobs as
well.)

wait_timeout
How long to wait for an initial connection, defaulting to 30
seconds. If an initial connection can't be made within this time
limit, then creation of the client storage will fail with a

This creates a test script:
After the initial connection, if the client is disconnected:

``ZEO.Exceptions.ClientDisconnected`` exception.
This command will run all the tests, printing a single dot for each
test. When it finishes, it will print a test summary. The exact
number of tests can vary depending on platform and available
third-party libraries.::
- New requests will block for up to ``wait_timeout`` waiting for a
connection to be established before failing with a
``ZEO.Exceptions.ClientDisconnected`` exception.

The test script has many more options. Use the ``-h`` or ``--help``
options to see a file list of options. The default test suite omits
several tests that depend on third-party software or that take a long
time to run. To run all the available tests use the ``--all`` option.
