Description
Once the need to update the DDB tables is removed, we can't go from a single POSTed delete at a time to posting a large set of bulk delete operations in parallel.
The current design is to support incremental update of S3Guard tables, including handling partial failures. Not a problem anymore.
This will significantly improve delete() performance on directory trees with many many children/descendants, as it goes from a sequence of children/1000 POSTs to parallel writes. As each file deleted is still throttled, we will be limited to 3500 deletes/second with throttling, so throwing a large pool of workers at the problem would be counter-productive and potentially cause problems for other applications trying to write down the same directory tree. But we can do better than one-POST at a time.
Proposed
- if parallel delete is off: no limit
- parallel delete is on, limit #of parallel to 3000/page-size: you'll never have more updates pending than the write limit of a single shard.
