Configuring Lifecycle Rules (SDK for Java)

Function

You can configure lifecycle rules to periodically delete objects or transition objects between storage classes. For more information, see Lifecycle Management. The object expiration time set using this API takes precedence over that set in a bucket lifecycle rule.

You can also set the object expiration time when uploading an object or initiating a multipart upload.

  • The minimum storage duration is 30 days for Infrequent Access storage, and 90 days for Archive storage. After an object is transitioned to the Archive storage class, if it stays in this storage class for less than 90 days, you still need to pay for a full 90 days.

Restrictions

  • There is no limit on the number of lifecycle rules in a bucket, but the total size of XML descriptions about all lifecycle rules in a bucket cannot exceed 20 KB.
  • A maximum of 20 lifecycle rules can be configured for a parallel file system.
  • To configure a lifecycle rule for a bucket, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:bucket:PutLifecycleConfiguration in IAM or PutLifecycleConfiguration in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Creating a Custom Bucket Policy.
  • This API only specifies the time duration in days after which an object will expire. The OBS server automatically clears expired objects.

Table 2 PutObjectRequest

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

bucketName

String

Yes

Explanation:

Bucket name.

Restrictions:

  • A bucket name must be unique across all accounts and regions.
  • A bucket name:
    • Must be 3 to 63 characters long and start with a digit or letter. Lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed.
    • Cannot be formatted as an IP address.
    • Cannot start or end with a hyphen (-) or period (.).
    • Cannot contain two consecutive periods (..), for example, my..bucket.

  • If you repeatedly create buckets of the same name in the same region, no error will be reported and the bucket attributes comply with those set in the first creation request.

Default value:

None

objectKey

String

Yes

Explanation:

Object name. An object is uniquely identified by an object name in a bucket. An object name is a complete path that does not contain the bucket name.

For example, if the address for accessing the object is examplebucket.obs.eu-west-101.myhuaweicloud.eu/folder/test.txt, the object name is folder/test.txt.

Value range:

The value must contain 1 to 1,024 characters.

Default value:

None

metadata

ObjectMetadata

No

Explanation:

Object metadata. For details, see Table 14.

Value range:

Default value:

None

expires

int

No

Explanation:

Expiration time of the object. The calculation starts from the time when the object was last modified. Once the object expires, it is automatically deleted.

Restrictions:

  • This parameter can be configured when uploading an object or using the x-obs-expires header in a metadata API call.
  • Expired objects will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

Value range:

An integer greater than 0, in days.

Default value:

None

progressListener

ProgressListener

No

Explanation:

Upload progress. For details, see Table 4.

encodeHeaders

Explanation:

Whether to enable OBS to automatically encode request headers.

Due to HTTP coding restrictions, only ASCII characters can be sent. If your request headers contain full-width characters, the SDK will URL encode these characters before sending the request. When you use a browser to access the object metadata, the browser automatically decodes the data.

Value range:

true: Encoding with SDK is enabled.

In Map, the String key indicates the name of the user-defined metadata that starts with x-obs-meta-, and the Object value indicates the value of the user-defined metadata. To obtain the user-defined metadata of an object, use ObsClient.getObjectMetadata. For details, see Obtaining Object Metadata (SDK for Java).
