[GeoNode-devel] GeoNode/GeoServer track user disk usage

[Giovanni Allegri]

Dear Pattara,

currently, there's no direct mechanism to calculate the storage space taken
by files uploaded by single users. The Upload model provides a linkage
between a user and the uploaded files, so one could calculate the total
size of uploaded files by a user. however:

 - GeoNode doesn't strictly require the uploaded files to be kept (as
original data copies) inside its storage space. At this moment it's
automatically requested when the upload is performed from the Web UI, but
the upload API provides a flag to request either to keep the uploaded files
or not. This is not a big concern if uploads are performed only through the
Web UI
- GeoNode transfers the uploaded data to Geoserver which, in its turn, will
store it inside its own storage systems (DB for vector data, filesystem for
raster data). This storage space should be taken into account to have the
real total space taken by a user.
- For documents, things are much simpler since they're only stored and
served by GeoNode

By the way, one can assume that files are only uploaded only from the UI
and stored both as a raw copy in GeoNode and as published data in
Geoserver. From the Upload model, the first can be calculated and the
latter can be estimated.

Things will probably change in the future, since there are plans to improve
this flow, avoiding storage duplication as much as possible.

Regards,
Giovanni
