Productshredder

Productshredder is a expired file removal utility.

It subscribes to DataInstance expiry messages from Productstatus, and deletes files from physical media.

Usage

A working environment with Productstatus and Kafka is assumed. Productstatus will publish an expiry message, containing a list of DataInstance resources that have exceeded their time to live. Each message contains DataInstances belonging to a specific combination of Product and ServiceBackend.

Productshredder can be configured to only allow deletion of DataInstances belonging to a specific Product and ServiceBackend. This is done using the -products and -servicebackends flags.

Example

productshredder \
    -brokers localhost:9092 \
    -topic productstatus \
    -productstatus http://localhost:8000 \
    -username admin \
    -apikey 5bcf851f09bc65043d987910e1448781fcf4ea12 \
    -servicebackends /api/v1/servicebackend/495bb3be-e327-4840-accf-afefcd411e06/ \
    -products /api/v1/product/7d3fe736-5902-44d5-a34c-86f877190523/ \
    -verbose \
    -dry-run

The example above will run Productshredder against a local Kafka instance, on the productstatus topic partition zero, and connect to a local Productstatus instance. It filters input so that only DataInstances from the specified Product and ServiceBackend are handled.
