changes:
- chunker: remove GetTier and SetTier
- remove wdmrcompat metaformat
- remove fastopen strategy
- make hash_type option non-advanced
- adverise hash support when possible
- add metadata field "ver", run strict checks
- describe internal behavior in comments
- improve documentation
note:
wdmrcompat used to write file name in the metadata, so maximum metadata
size was 1K; removing it allows to cap size by 200 bytes now.
Introduce stats groups that will isolate accounting for logically
different transferring operations. That way multiple accounting
operations can be done in parallel without interfering with each other
stats.
Using groups is optional. There is dedicated global stats that will be
used by default if no group is specified. This is operating mode for CLI
usage which is just fire and forget operation.
For running rclone as rc http server each request will create it's own
group. Also there is an option to specify your own group.
We now have a backend (fichier) which doesn't support 0 length
files. Therefore all 0 length files in the tests have been replaced
with length 1.
In a future commit we will implement a test for 0 length files.
- Change rclone/fs interfaces to accept context.Context
- Update interface implementations to use context.Context
- Change top level usage to propagate context to lover level functions
Context propagation is needed for stopping transfers and passing other
request-scoped values.
In c5ac96e9e7 we made --files-from only read the objects specified and
don't scan directories.
This caused problems with Google drive (very very slow) and B2
(excessive API consumption) so it was decided to make the old
behaviour (traversing the directories) the default with --files-from
and use the existing --no-traverse flag (which has exactly the right
semantics) to enable the new non scanning behaviour.
See: https://forum.rclone.org/t/using-files-from-with-drive-hammers-the-api/8726Fixes#3102Fixes#3095
The --no-traverse flag was not implemented when the new sync routines
(using the march package) was implemented.
This re-implements --no-traverse in march by trying to find a match
for each object with NewObject rather than from a directory listing.
Before this change using --files-from would scan all the directories
that the files could possibly be in causing rclone to do more work
that was necessary.
After this change, rclone constructs an in memory tree using the
--fast-list mechanism but from all of the files in the --files-from
list and without scanning any directories.
Any objects that are not found in the --files-from list are ignored
silently.
This mechanism is used for sync/copy/move (march) and all of the
listing commands ls/lsf/md5sum/etc (walk).
Unfortunately this commit attempts to create every directory rather
than just the empty ones, so will need re-working.
Removing this feature for the 1.41 release
This reverts commit 0daced29db.
The purpose of this is to make it easier to maintain and eventually to
allow the rclone backends to be re-used in other projects without
having to use the rclone configuration system.
The new code layout is documented in CONTRIBUTING.
