Basic starter code for Homework 5

Use the following commands to run the blockstore, metadata store and the client -

1. Blockstore -

   python blockstore.py <port-number>

2. Metadata store -

   python metastore.py config.txt

3. Client -

   // to download a file
   python client.py config.txt download myfile.jpg folder_name/
   
   // to upload a file
   python client.py config.txt upload myfile.jpg
   
   // to delete a file
   python client.py config.txt delete myfile.jpg

For creating a key-pair value we will be creating a memory dictionary in blockstore which will store the hash-block in a key-value pair. Along with this, the MetadataStore will also have a dict having the : dictionary which will be used to add, remove and modify the content of the files.
