Abstract

The technologies described herein are generally directed toward finalizing an incomplete multipart data object based on a finalizing condition. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a processor and a memory that can enable performance of operations including identifying an initializing of a multipart upload object. The operations can further include receiving a first upload part of upload parts of the multipart upload object. Further, the operations can include, based on a finalizing condition and before receiving a completion request, facilitating finalizing the multipart upload object.

Claims (35)

1 . A method, comprising receiving, by a system comprising at least one processor from a client system, an initializing command applicable to initializing an upload of a multipart upload object from the client system, wherein the initializing command comprises finalizing information representative of a finalizing condition;

receiving, by the system from the client system, a first upload part of upload parts of the multipart upload object;

determining, by the system, an occurrence of the finalizing condition; and

based on the occurrence of the finalizing condition and before receiving a completion request from the client system, facilitating, by the system, finalizing the multipart upload object.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the finalizing condition comprises passage of a period of time from identifying the initializing of the multipart upload object.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the finalizing information comprises a completion time for the finalizing of the multipart upload object, and wherein the occurrence of the finalizing condition comprises a current time corresponding to the completion time.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first upload part comprises self-contained information that is independent of any other upload part of the upload parts.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the self-contained information of the first upload part does not overlap any other upload part of the upload parts.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, when the multipart upload object is finalized, a second upload part of the upload parts has not been uploaded, and wherein the multipart upload object is finalized without the second upload part.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the multipart upload object finalized without the second upload part comprises an incomplete multipart upload object without corrupted data.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, after the initializing, the multipart upload object comprises an identifier, and wherein the finalizing condition is determined based on:

the finalizing information, and

data stored in a storage location comprised in the identifier.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the finalizing of the multipart upload object is facilitated without a command to finalize the multipart upload object being received from the client system.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the finalizing event occurs based on the client system ceasing to upload the upload parts before completion of the upload of the upload parts.

11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the system from object service equipment, a finalizing message, wherein the finalizing message was communicated by the object service equipment based on a checking, by the object service equipment, on the occurrence of the finalizing condition, wherein the occurrence of the finalizing condition was determined based on the finalizing message.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the receiving of the initializing command from the client system comprises receiving the initializing command communicated from the client system via the object service equipment.

13 . Data source equipment, comprising:

at least one processing unit; and

at least one memory coupled to the at least one processing unit and storing instructions configured to be executed by the at least one processing unit, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the data source equipment to perform actions comprising:

initializing a multipart upload of a set of independent data parts at data storage equipment, wherein the initializing of the multipart upload comprises communicating a finalizing condition to the data storage equipment, and wherein the set of independent data parts comprises a first portion of the set of independent data parts and a second portion of the set of independent data parts, different from the first portion,

uploading the first portion of the set of independent data parts to the data storage equipment, and

before uploading the second portion of the set of independent data parts, receiving an indication that, based on the finalizing condition, the multipart upload has been finalized in an incomplete state by the data storage equipment.

14 . The data source equipment of claim 13 , wherein the multipart upload was finalized in the incomplete state by the data storage equipment based on the finalizing condition being identified by the data storage equipment.

15 . The data source equipment of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further comprise delaying further operations for a period of time after the uploading of the first portion of the set of independent data parts, and wherein the finalizing condition comprises elapse of the period of time without the uploading the second portion of the set of independent data parts.

16 . The data source equipment of claim 14 , wherein the communicating of the cleanup condition comprises communicating, to the data storage equipment, an identifier representative of a storage location, and wherein the finalizing condition is comprised in data stored in the storage location.

17 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a network controller device, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

receiving, from a client device, an indication to initialize a multipart upload object comprising finalizing information representative of a finalizing condition;

receiving, from the client device, a portion of a group of upload parts of the multipart upload object;

based on a cleanup process and the finalizing information, identifying that the finalizing condition has occurred; and

based on the finalizing condition and before completion of uploading a remaining portion the group of upload parts, completing the multipart upload object.

18 . The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the finalizing condition comprises passage of a period of time from the receiving of the indication to initialize the multipart upload object.

19 . The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the finalizing information comprises information representative of a completion time for completing the multipart upload object, and wherein the finalizing condition comprises a current time corresponding to the completion time.

20 . The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein ones of the group of upload parts comprise encapsulated information that does not depend upon any other upload parts of the group of upload parts other than the ones, and wherein the encapsulated information does not overlap the other upload parts of the group of upload parts.
