Configuring an Online Decompression Policy (SDK for Java)

Function

OBS can automatically decompress uploaded ZIP packages and save them to a specified directory. If any ZIP package uploaded to a bucket matches the configured decompression policy, the package will be automatically decompressed to the specified directory. You can call this API to configure a ZIP file decompression policy for a bucket. For more information about online decompression, see Online Decompression.

Online decompression is not available for fusion buckets.

Restrictions

Permissions

  • To configure, obtain, or delete online decompression policies, you must have the Tenant Administrator permission assigned by using role/policy-based authorization of IAM.
  • Online decompression requires that you create an IAM agency to delegate OBS to access data in the bucket. The permissions the agency should assign to OBS include obs:object:PutObject, obs:object:GetObject, and obs:object:AbortMultipartUpload.

Package and file size

  • A single ZIP package cannot exceed 1 GB in size.
  • A single ZIP package can contain a maximum of 65,536 files.
  • A single decompressed file cannot exceed 40 GB in size.

Time

  • Decompressing a ZIP package takes 10 minutes at most.

Functions

  • Currently, only ZIP packages are supported.
  • ZIP package names cannot contain Chinese punctuation marks, special codes, or special characters such as \/:*?"<>|@#¥
  • To decompress the ZIP package that contains other ZIP packages, the event type of the online decompression policy must be set to ObjectCreated:* or ObjectCreated:CompleteMultipartUpload.
  • Currently, no notification will be sent to users after decompression tasks are complete.
  • Currently, only deflate-compressed ZIP packages can be decompressed. Deflate is different from the compression algorithms (such as Store and Normal) provided by WinRAR.
  • The total length of the decompression path plus the name of any decompressed file cannot exceed 512 characters.
  • Currently, encrypted ZIP packages cannot be decompressed.
  • Federated users cannot use the online decompression function. For more information about federated users, see What Are the Relationships Between a Huawei Cloud Account, HUAWEI ID, IAM User, and Federated User? and Introduction to Identity Providers.
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
