This is what I wrote to Digital Ocean support on July 10, 2020 - alas
it didn't result in the rate limits dropping, so reluctantly I'm going
to remove DO from the integration tests since they never pass and have
no hope of ever passing while this rate limit is in effect.
----
Somewhere towards the end of June 2020 or the start of July 2020 my
integration tests between rclone ( https://rclone.org ) and Digital
Ocean started failing.
I tried moving the tests to different regions (currently they are
using AMS1 because I'm in Europe) with no improvement.
Rclone seems to be hitting this rate limit as documented here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/spaces/#limits
- 2 COPYs per 5 minutes on any individual object in a Space
Rclone creates small objects about 100 bytes in size and renames them
a few times - this involves using the COPY call as S3 does not have a
rename API. The tests do this more than twice per object so hit the 5
minute timeout I think. Rclone does exponential backoff and fails
after 10 retries not having reached 5 minutes delay after 10 retries.
Having a 5 minute lockout on an S3 compatible API is surprising!
Rclone integration tests with about 30 other providers, none of which
have a rate limit like this.
I understand the need for a COPY rate limit as server side copying
large files can be resource intensive. However a 5 minute lockout for
copying 100 byte files seems excessive!
Might I humbly suggest that you reduce or eliminate this rate limit
for small files?

This was the reply
Unfortunately it is not possible to raise this limit or remove it
currently on our platform. I do see how this would interfere with type
of applications that need to copy many small files and will be happy
to take the feedback to our engineering team to see how we can improve
the spaces system in the future
- add a directory to the optional Purge interface
- fix up all the backends
- add an additional integration test to test for the feature
- use the new feature in operations.Purge
Many of the backends had been prepared in advance for this so the
change was trivial for them.
This adds expire and unlink fields to the PublicLink interface.
This fixes up the affected backends and removes unlink parameters
where they are present.
These commands are for implementing backend specific
functionality. They have documentation which is placed automatically
into the backend doc.
There is a simple test for the feature in the backend tests.
This has been reported to Wasabi and they've confirmed as a known
issue that multipart uploads can't be 0 sized even though that is
incompatible with AWS S3.
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.
Note: chunker implements many irrelevant methods (UserInfo, Disconnect etc),
but they are required by TestIntegration/FsCheckWrap and cannot be removed.
Dropped API methods: MergeDirs DirCacheFlush PublicLink UserInfo Disconnect OpenWriterAt
Meta formats:
- renamed old simplejson format to wdmrcompat.
- new simplejson format supports hash sums and verification of chunk size/count.
Change list:
- split-chunking overlay for mailru
- add to all
- fix linter errors
- fix integration tests
- support chunks without meta object
- fix package paths
- propagate context
- fix formatting
- implement new required wrapper interfaces
- also test large file uploads
- simplify options
- user friendly name pattern
- set default chunk size 2G
- fix building with golang 1.9
- fix ci/cd on a separate branch
- fix updated object name (SyncUTFNorm failed)
- fix panic in Box overlay
- workaround: Box rename failed if name taken
- enhance comments in unit test
- fix formatting
- embed wrapped remote rather than inherit
- require wrapped remote to support move (or copy)
- implement 3 (keep fstest)
- drop irrelevant file system interfaces
- factor out Object.mainChunk
- refactor TestLargeUpload as InternalTest
- add unit test for chunk name formats
- new improved simplejson meta format
- tricky case in test FsIsFile (fix+ignore)
- remove debugging print
- hide temporary objects from listings
- fix bugs in chunking reader:
- return EOF immediately when all data is sent
- handle case when wrapped remote puts by hash (bug detected by TestRcat)
- chunked file hashing (feature)
- server-side copy across configs (feature)
- robust cleanup of temporary chunks in Put
- linear download strategy (no read-ahead, feature)
- fix unexpected EOF in the box multipart uploader
- throw error if destination ignores data
Before this change we didn't calculate any hashes for test files
created in the Run framework.
This means that files were uploaded to S3 without a `Content-MD5`
header. This in turn caused minio to disengage `--compat` mode which
in turn caused the `TestSyncAfterChangingModtimeOnlyWithNoUpdateModTime`
test to fail in `fs/sync`.
After this change we supply all hashes supported by the destination Fs
on the upload object.
This means that the `Content-MD5` is set and minio engages `--compat`
mode to fix the problem. Using `--compat` on the command line also
fixes the problem.
This much better replicates how objects are actually uploaded with
operations.Copy so should improve the integration tests.
