Bug Description

There is an issue with swift-ring-builder and rebalancing under certain conditions beginning in Mitaka.

Steps to reproduce:
Create a ring with part power of 12. 3 servers with 11 devices each, BUT 2 servers in zone 1 and one server in zone 2. After adding all devices as described above, swift-ring-builder <ring>.builder rebalance does not return and seems to run into an endless loop.

The weirdness starts with the 11th device, 10 devices still work. It does not matter whether you add each 10 devices from the 3 servers and rebalance, and than add the 11th device from each server afterwards or do it all at once.

This behaviour does not exists in Liberty and starts with Mitaka.

For connivence I am adding the statements to reproduce:

swift-ring-builder account.builder create 12 3 1

swift-ring-builder account.builder add --region 1 --zone 1 --ip 10.46.15.60 --port 6002 --replication-ip 10.46.15.60 --replication-port 6002 --device swift-01 --weight 100.00

I wonder if maybe the "requires -3.05311331772e-16 overload" is indicating some numerical analysis troubles?

With a little more debug logging in place, I tracked it down to https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/2.10.0/swift/common/ring/builder.py#L806. Apparently we can get parts to go negative, which causes the loop five lines later, on `while parts`. Should be an easy fix, though.

    Avoid infinite loop while placing parts

    Previously, we could over-assign how many parts should be in a tier.
    This would cause the local `parts` variable to go negative, which meant
    that our `while parts` loop would never terminate.

commit 2d25fe6ad3573b2a06b6b3e5e66493d7b0c55693
Author: Tim Burke <email address hidden>

    Reduce backend requests for SLO If-Match / HEAD requests

    ... by storing SLO Etag and size in sysmeta.

    Previously, we had to GET the manifest for every HEAD or conditional
    request to an SLO. Worse, since SLO PUTs require that we HEAD every
    segment, we'd GET all included sub-SLO manifests. This was necessary so
    we could recompute the large object's Etag and content-length.

    Since we already know both of those during PUT, we'll now store it in
    object sysmeta. This allows us to:

     * satisfy HEAD requests based purely off of the manifest's HEAD
       response, and
     * perform the If-(None-)Match comparison on the object server, without
       any additional subrequests.

    Note that the large object content-length can't just be parsed from
    content-type -- with fast-POST enabled, the content-type coming out of
    the object-server won't necessarily include swift_bytes.

    Also note that we must still fall back to GETting the manifest if the
    sysmeta headers were not found. Otherwise, we'd break existing large
    objects.

    breaking down tests.py into smaller pieces

    tests.py is currently at ~5500 lines of code, it's
    time to break it down into smaller files.

    I started with an easy middleware set of tests
    (i.e., versioned writes, ~600 lines of code ) so I can get
    some feedback. There are more complicated tests that cover
    multiple middlewares for example, it is not so clear where
    those should go.
