Deleting Fragments (SDK for Go)

Function

Deleting fragments refers to deleting the parts generated by incomplete multipart uploads. If a multipart upload task is interrupted or fails, unassembled parts are left in the bucket, occupying storage space and incurring fees. You can use the fragment deletion function to delete these unnecessary parts.

OBS SDKs provide the following methods for deleting fragments:

  1. Single deletion: You can call the AbortMultipartUpload API to delete the fragments of a single incomplete multipart upload.
  2. Batch deletion: You can call the ListMultipartUploads API to list all incomplete multipart uploads and then delete their fragments in batches.

Restrictions

  • To abort a multipart upload, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:object:AbortMultipartUpload in IAM or AbortMultipartUpload in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Configuring an Object Policy.
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
  • Deleting fragments will permanently delete data and the deleted data cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
  • After a multipart upload task is cleared, the uploaded parts will be deleted.

Method - Deleting Fragments of a Single Multipart Upload

func (obsClient ObsClient) AbortMultipartUpload(input *AbortMultipartUploadInput) (output *BaseModel, err error)

Method – Listing Multipart Uploads

func (obsClient ObsClient) ListMultipartUploads(input *ListMultipartUploadsInput) (output *ListMultipartUploadsOutput, err error)

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.

Default value:

None

Prefix

string

No

Explanation:

Name prefix that the objects in the multipart uploads to be listed must contain

Assume that you have the following objects: logs/day1, logs/day2, logs/day3, and ExampleObject.jpg. If you specify logs/ as the prefix, the multipart uploads of logs/day1, logs/day2, and logs/day3 will be returned. If you leave this parameter blank, all multipart uploads in the bucket will be returned.

Restrictions:

The value must contain 1 to 1,024 characters.

Default value:

Restrictions:

If the specified value is greater than 1000, only 1,000 multipart uploads are returned.

Value range:

An integer from 1 to 1000

Default value:

1000

Delimiter

string

No

Explanation:

Object names are grouped by this parameter, which is often used with Prefix. If a prefix is specified, objects with the same string from the prefix to the first delimiter are grouped into one CommonPrefixes. If no prefix is specified, objects with the same string from the first character to the first delimiter are grouped into one CommonPrefixes.

Assume that a bucket has objects abcd, abcde, and bbcde in it. If delimiter is set to d and prefix is set to a, objects abcd and abcde are grouped into a CommonPrefixes with abcd as the prefix. If only delimiter is set to d, objects abcd and abcde are grouped into a CommonPrefixes with abcd as the prefix, and bbcde is grouped separately into another CommonPrefixes with bbcd as the prefix.

Value range:

The value must contain 1 to 1,024 characters.

Default value:

None

KeyMarker

string

No

Explanation:

Object name after which multipart upload listing begins

Restrictions:

This parameter is valid only when used with KeyMarker. If both parameters are specified, multipart uploads with IDs greater than the specified UploadIdMarker for the specified KeyMarker are listed.

Value range:

The value of NextUploadIdMarker in the response body of the last request

Default value:

None

EncodingType

string

No

Explanation:

Encoding type for Key in the response. If Key in the response contains control characters that are not supported by the XML 1.0 standard, you can specify this parameter to encode Key.

Value range:

url

Default value:

None. If you leave this parameter blank, encoding is not applied to Key.
