Amit Gupta commented on SLING-2707:
-----------------------------------
Introducing a new node type sling:PartialFile seems unnecessary complexity. And
then whether to store chunks in JCR or in file system that is anyways
implementation details. Implementation can be changed/improved when OAK comes
in.
Current spec with part number gives opportunity for future extension for
supporting uploading of parallel chunks. It takes best of amazon S3 multi part
chunk upload, using part number approach. And, by use of part number amazon s3
upload also encourages concurrent uploads of parts. I think that we all agree
that multi connection upload at this point is an added complexity, but if just
by using part number (which is already simple enough), we can keep scope for
future extension then that is not a bad idea at all.
> Support of chunked file upload into Sling
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-2707
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2707
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: General
> Reporter: Shashank Gupta
> Attachments: uploadclient.jar
>
>
> Use cases:
> 1. Large file upload - With high speed internet connections, advent of cloud
> and HD going mainstream, Sling should support large files (> 2GB) upload.
> 2. Fault tolerant uploads - Sling should provide capability to resume upload
> from failure point. It should not require client to restart the complete
> upload process.
> 3. Faster upload: Sling should support its clients to initiate multiple
> connection and upload file chunks in parallel.
