Should be able to "test" a backend is configured correctly #106

Closed borischen closed 11 years ago

borischen commented 11 years ago

Use case:

User is configuring Shuttl to write to a backend. Wants to know that configured correctly, without actually shuttling a bucket.

Functionality: Based on a config, be able to, via rest/cli, write a zero byte test file to see it written to the backend. And alternatively, if fails, then write the failure to the log file Clean-up any test files upon startup of Shuttl

Since we don't want to be dependent on what backend the users of Shuttl uses for this script, and we don't have any remove-bucket endpoint, there's no real way of tearing down this test.

The test does remind the user to remove the archived buckets, every time they run the script.

The script for testing if a configured Shuttl is working lives in a built and installed shuttl app at: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/shuttl/bin/testArchivingBucket.sh
