Currently, using a Range: header on an HTTP GET (to fetch just a portion of a file, instead of the whole thing) causes the tahoe client to download the entire file into a tmpfile, then serve out just the portion that was requested. To make this faster, we should only fetch the segments that contain the desired range. Two changes need to happen to make this work:

the Downloader must be rewritten, to fetch segments on demand, to (sometimes) cache previously cached segments, and decrypt just the necessary data
pycryptopp needs to provide random-access AES processing, so we can decrypt data starting at some point other than the beginning of the file (pycryptopp#18)

The new Downloader should have a couple of layers:

top layer receives a read(offset, length) request (maybe a even fully-general readv)
that layer looks at the set of cached segments, tries to satisfy the request from cache
if not, submit requests for segment fetches to the lower layer
lower layer looks to see what servers it has available, which requests are already in flight
it sends out more requests, or prepares new servers (querying for share presence, fetching hash trees, fetching block data)

Similar code will be needed for MDMF mutable files, since those are specified to contain multiple segments, and we'll want random-access for them too.

As discussed in #990, a positive security side-effect of this rewrite will be to avoid caching plaintext in order to satisfy byterange requests.

in the v4 patch, SystemTest.test_filesystem now passes. I had to disable the "download status" checking code.. that part isn't implemented yet.

Next steps:

add download status: require rework, since we're no longer downloading whole files at a time, and the status-display code thinks in such terms
integration work:
split download2.py into different pieces. Probably move existing download.py's LiteralFileNode into a new literal.py, let the top-level (non-literal) ImmutableFileNode live in filenode.py, move most of the rest of download2.py (the ShareFinder and Share classes) into download.py
get rid of the old ImmutableFileNode class
write specific tests for new interesting cases: guessing offsets wrong, read requests fail, others
implement "response overdue" behavior

In the v6 patch, most of the existing tests pass. Remaining old-test work to do:

test_hung_download (touches internals, needs rewrite)
test_immutable (not sure, looks interesting)
test_web (format of NotEnoughSharesError changed)
- either need to update tests to match, or change format to match old one
test_system (disabled download-status)

And all the TODOs from above.

I've been thinking about the download-status data. What I'd like to record is a list of messages, one per share, with (send time, start+offset, response size, response time) for each one (plus information about the initial DYHB query). For now I'd just dump this information as text in the download-status page, but eventually I'd like a scrolling JS/Canvas-based diagram. It would have time along the X axis, and probably (server,share) along the Y axis. Each message send would be a horizontal line that spans from the send to the receipt, maybe with a thickness related to the number of bytes being requested. There will be lots of overlapping requests, so they must be handled cleanly.

There should be vertical lines to indicate when each completed segment is delivered to the caller (running from the top-most active share to the bottom of the chart, with an arrow pointing downwards). There should also be vertical lines to indicate when the caller requests the next segment: when callers are stalling (i.e. streaming music not buffering too much) it should be obvious by looking at the chart.

Another sort of chart that would be interesting would have byte-offset-in-share as the Y axis, showing how we fetch different pieces of the share at different times.

test_immutable (not sure, looks interesting)
[...]

You might consider merging these two. When I wrote test_hung_download, I wasn't familiar enough with the existing tests to see that it was partially duplicating some of test_immutable.

I did a lot of code-coverage work, so the v7 patch fixes a number of real bugs in the previous ones. There are still some significant functional things to fix, though, notably the state=OVERDUE heuristic is missing, and ShareFinder isn't sending requests in parallel. Both fronts will benefit from download-status displays. I found an interesting JS library which might be good for generating the display: http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/

At this point, the new downloader is almost as good as the old downloader, so
I'm starting to think about landing it after 1.7 is released. It doesn't yet
handle servers hanging very well, but the old downloader didn't either. The
biggest problem is that the new downloader will basically pick share-holding
servers at random, rather than preferring the fastest responders. The old
downloader would, I think, stick with the first 'k' servers that responded
positively to the DYHB requests, so even though it couldn't tolerate the loss
of any server, it would use the fastest-responding ones. The new downloader
could easily pick the slowest responders by accident.

The biggest feature I want to write next is the hanging-server handling
(state=OVERDUE). I know that it will take some fiddling with the heuristics
before we find something that feels right. I'd prefer to have the timeline
visualization in place to support this work, but it's looking to be a decent
amount of work, so I may plunge ahead without it, or find some alternative
approach (GD or some python image-drawing library, probably without zooming).
To do state=OVERDUE right will also provoke structural changes to the way we
manage remote servers (specifically I want an object with a lifetime equal to
the TCP connection's, which remembers how long requests took in the past, so
it can help guess if an outstanding request is overdue or merely slow). I
might want to land this patch first, before starting on that work, since I'm
really far out on a branch right now. My patch is updated to current trunk,
but if anyone gets busy and makes some deep changes to the tree, I may have a
challenging merge job ahead. So merging sooner rather than later feels like a
good idea.

The v8 patch has a lot of integration work: the new downloader now mostly lives in immutable/downloader/ , all the filenodes live in immutable/filenode.py (except for Literal, which was moved into immutable/literal.py). Repairer was rewritten to use the new downloader (and it's waaaay simpler now). Some of the old downloader code was removed (except that Verifier still uses it). The download-status display is functional, but shows mostly raw request-response timestamps (the SIMILE Timeline work is not in this patch, and might not really want to be in the Tahoe node at all, maybe it should go into a separate tool). At this point, the new downloader is almost as good as the old downloader, so I'm starting to think about landing it after 1.7 is released.

I needed to fix a few minor issues when converting this to a darcs patch:

the patch to client.py touches a line next to another line changed in the ticket1074 branch (no real conflict)
'patch' failed to create the empty file src/allmydata/download/*init*.py
pyflakes warning:
src\allmydata\test\test_hung_server.py:12: '_corrupt_share_data' imported but unused
DEFAULT_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE missing from interfaces.py
some uses of find_shares (two in test/no_network.py and one in test/test_download.py)
needed to be changed to find_uri_shares.
'print r_ev' statement in util/spans.py should be commented out.

With these changes it doesn't fail any tests on my machine.

Reviewing changeset:cbcb728e7ea0031d:

the (start, length) form of the SimpleSpans constructor is not used outside test code (and the test code can be changed to pass a [(start, length)] array). Removing this would slightly simplify the constructor and avoid a possibly error-prone overloading.
in the Spans class comment, ", frequently used to represent .newsrc contents" is out-of-context and not needed.
in the _check method of Spans, if assertions are switched on then the self._spans array is re-sorted in order to check whether it is ordered. This is unnecessary: if you add an assert length > 0, length in the loop, then the loop will be checking a condition that is stronger than the array being ordered, given that the starts and lengths are numbers. (The sorting actually takes O(n) time rather than O(n log n) on each call to _check, because Timsort will detect the ordered input, but it's still unnecessary overhead.)
the assert statements should include the variables they use in the exception message, e.g. assert start > prev_end, (start, prev_end).
"overlap(s_start, s_length, start, length) or adjacent(s_start, s_length, start, length)" is equivalent to "overlap(s_start, s_length, start-1, length+2)".
in the only other use of adjacent (in DataSpans.add), only the start0 < start1 case should be able to occur. Inline and simplify.
in the loop over enumerate(self._spans), you could exit early when s_start > start+length. At that point you know where to insert the (start, length) span without having to re-sort.
a Spans object behaves somewhat like a set of the elements in all of its spans, but the *contains* and *iter* methods are not consistent with that (instead viewing it as a set of (start, length) pairs). I realize this may allow for more convenient use of in and iteration, but it should at least be documented.
_check and assert_invariants do similar things; give them the same name.
DataSpans._dump is poorly named.
DataSpans.assert_invariants should check that none of the data strings are zero-length.
is it intentional that DataSpans.add calls self.assert_invariants() but remove (and pop, although that's much simpler) don't?
if s_start <= start < s_end: I find this Python construct too clever by half. Anyway, at this point s_start <= start is always true (otherwise we won't get past the first continue), so I would write this as

assert s_start <= start, (s_start, start)
if start < s_end:

Perhaps rename s_* to old_*.
DataSpans.add: if I understand correctly, case A also covers:

    OLD      OLD    OLD    OLD
NEW       NEW      NEWW   NEEWW

This isn't immediately clear from the comment. Depicting it as

    OLD
NEW.....

might help. Also, use uppercase consistently for the cases.

suffix_len in case D has a different meaning to suffix_len in case E. Maybe rename it to replace_len for case D.

Tests:

The Spans class is tested by ByteSpans, but it just stores spans of integers, not necessarily byte offsets. I would suggest s/ByteSpans/TestSpans/ and s/StringSpans/TestDataSpans/.
I could be wrong, but I don't think the deterministic tests are covering all cases in add and remove. I'd prefer to see those tests have full coverage rather than relying on the randomized tests to make up the gap.

This patch broke some docs:

[architecture.txt]source:trunk/docs/architecture.txt@4481#L232 says:

When downloading a file, the current version just asks all known servers for any shares they might have…

[performance.txt]source:trunk/docs/performance.txt@4341#L41 says:

When asked to read an arbitrary range of an immutable file, Tahoe-LAFS will download from the beginning of the file up until it has enough of the file to satisfy the requested read…

I think these documentation issues should be fixed before we release Tahoe-LAFS v1.8.0 final.
