Hashstore Migration Guide

It’s not entirely public, how far along in the hash store conversion we are.

If you’ve not done anything yourself, there have been three stages:

  • Testing: Where a handful of nodes were selected, and wrote new pieces to hash store
  • Passive Migration: (We’re here now) New pieces are written to hash store, read pieces are converted to hash store. Pieces at rest stays in old piece store
  • Active Migration: (Will come after a bit more testing): All remaining pieces are converted to hashstore.
    When I say “it’s not entirely public”, what I mean is that in the beginning, a percentage of nodes were put from “test” to “passive migration” on saltlake. After that was a success, more nodes were done so.

To my knowledge, all nodes are on passive migration on all satellites at the moment, but this is not confirmed.

If you want to check, just measure the size of your blobs folder
