What do these changes do?
TL;DR: Removing (output) files referenced by Project Nodes, leaves the system in an inconsistent state.
Currently, the WebServer is the 1st responder and forwards the deletion requests to the Storage service, which deletes physically the file(s).
The Projects Nodes are not updated accordingly and Director v2 is not informed about the changes.
Proposal
To maintain decoupling while ensuring consistency between the storage and project services, I recommend using an Event-Driven Architecture:
FileDeleted
event with relevant metadata.FileDeleted
event once the deletion is successful.FileReferenced
/FileDereferenced
events from the event broker.FileReferenced
/FileDereferenced
event is received, it updates the soft reference count associated with that file.FileReferenced
/FileDereferenced
events once a file is referenced/dereferenced.FileDeleted
events from the event broker.FileDeleted
event is received, it verifies if the file is referenced in any project and updates its data (e.g., mark the file as deleted, remove reference from Nodes).Event Types Overview
FileDeleted
FileReferenced
FileDereferenced
