List of payload locations to search for payloads which have been found by any of

``http(s)://`` url pointing to the payload directory on a server.
 
For remote locations starting with ``http(s)://`` we assume that the layout of
the payloads on the server is the same as on the main payload server:
The combination of given location and the relative url in the payload metadata
field ``payloadUrl`` should point to the correct payload on the server.
 
For local directories, two layouts are supported and will be auto detected:
 
flat
    All payloads are in the same directory without any substructure with the name
    ``dbstore_{name}_rev_{revision}.root``
hashed
    All payloads are stored in subdirectories in the form ``AB/{name}_r{revision}.root``
    where ``A`` and ``B`` are the first two characters of the md5 checksum of the
    payload file.
 
Example:
  Given ``payload_locations = ["payload_dir/", "http://server.com/payloads"]``
  the framework would look for a payload with name ``BeamParameters`` in revision
  ``45`` (and checksum ``a34ce5...``) in the following places
 
 
  1. ``payload_dir/a3/BeamParameters_r45.root``
  2. ``payload_dir/dbstore_BeamParameters_rev_45.root``
  3. ``http://server.com/payloads/dbstore/BeamParameters/dbstore_BeamParameters_rev_45.root``
     given the usual pattern of the ``payloadUrl`` metadata. But this could be
     changed on the central servers so mirrors should not depend on this convention
     but copy the actual structure of the central server.
 
If the payload cannot be found in any of the given locations the framework will
always attempt to download it directly from the central server and put it in a
local cache directory.

    .def("expert_settings", expert, R"DOC(expert_settings(**kwargs)
 
Set some additional settings for the conditions database.
 
You can supply any combination of keyword-only arguments defined below. The
function will return a dictionary containing all current settings.
 
    >>> conditions.expert_settings(connection_timeout=5, max_retries=1)
    {'save_payloads': 'localdb/database.txt',
     'download_cache_location': '',
     'download_lock_timeout': 120,
     'usable_globaltag_states': {'PUBLISHED', 'RUNNING', 'TESTING', 'VALIDATED'},
     'connection_timeout': 5,
     'stalled_timeout': 60,
     'max_retries': 1,
     'backoff_factor': 5}
 
Warning:
    Modification of these parameters should not be needed, in rare
    circumstances this could be used to optimize access for many jobs at once
    but should only be set by experts.
 
Parameters:
  save_payloads (str): Where to store new payloads created during processing.
      This should be a filename to contain the payload information and the payload
      files will be placed in the same directory as the file.
  download_cache_location (str): Where to store payloads which have been downloaded
      from the central server. This could be a user defined directory, otherwise
      empty string defaults to ``$TMPDIR/basf2-conditions`` where ``$TMPDIR`` is the
      temporary directories defined in the system. Newly downloaded payloads will
      be stored in this directory in a hashed structure, see `payload_locations`
  download_lock_timeout (int): How many seconds to wait for a write lock when
      concurrently downloading the same payload between different processes.
      If locking fails the payload will be downloaded to a temporary file
      separately for each process.
  usable_globaltag_states (set(str)): Names of globaltag states accepted for
      processing. This can be changed to make sure that only fully published
      globaltags are used or to enable running on an open tag. It is not possible
      to allow usage of 'INVALID' tags, those will always be rejected.
  connection_timeout (int): timeout in seconds before connection should be
      aborted. 0 sets the timeout to the default (300s)
  stalled_timeout (int): timeout in seconds before a download should be
      aborted if the speed stays below 10 KB/s, 0 disables this timeout
  max_retries (int): maximum amount of retries if the server responded with
      an HTTP response of 500 or more. 0 disables retrying
  backoff_factor (int): backoff factor for retries in seconds. Retries are
      performed using something similar to binary backoff: For retry :math:`n`
      and a ``backoff_factor`` :math:`f` we wait for a random time chosen
      uniformly from the interval :math:`[1, (2^{n} - 1) \times f]` in
      seconds.
)DOC")
    .def("set_globaltag_callback", &Configuration::setGlobaltagCallbackPy, R"DOC(set_globaltag_callback(function)
 
Set a callback function to be called just before processing.
 
This callback can be used to further customize the globaltags to be used during
processing. It will be called after the input files have been opened and checked
with three keyword arguments:
 
base_tags
    The globaltags determined from either the input files or, if no input files
    are present, the default globaltags
 
user_tags
    The globaltags provided by the user
 
metadata
    If there are not input files (e.g. generating events) this argument is None.
    Otherwise it is a list of all the ``FileMetaData`` instances from all input files.
    This list can be empty if there is no metadata associated with the input files.
 
From this information the callback function should then compose the final list
of globaltags to be used for processing and return this list. If ``None`` is
returned the default behavior is applied as if there were no callback function.
If anything else is returned the processing is aborted.
 
If no callback function is specified the default behavior is equivalent to ::
 
    def callback(base_tags, user_tags, metadata):
      if not base_tags:
        basf2.B2FATAL("No baseline globaltags available. Please use override")
 
      return user_tags + base_tags
 
If `override_enabled` is ``True`` then the callback function will not be called.
 
Warning:
  If a callback is set it is responsible to select the correct list of globaltags
  and also make sure that all files are compatible. No further checks will be
  done by the framework but any list of globaltags which is returned will be used
  exactly as it is.
 
  If the list of ``base_tags`` is empty that usually means that the input files
  had different globaltag settings but it is the responsibility of the callback
  to then verify if the list of globaltags is usable or not.
 
  If the callback function determines that no working set of globaltags can be
  determined then it should abort processing using a FATAL error or an exception
