Configuring a Storage Class for a Bucket (SDK for Java)

Function

OBS provides the following storage classes: Standard, Infrequent Access, and Archive. Choose the storage class that can meet your requirements for performance and cost.

This API configures a storage class for a bucket. If you do not specify a storage class when uploading or copying an object, or initiating a multipart upload, the object inherits the bucket's storage class.

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub.

The following table lists the three available storage classes.

Storage Class

Description

Value in OBS Java SDK

Standard

Features low access latency and high throughput and is used for storing massive, frequently accessed (multiple times a month) or small objects (< 1 MB) requiring quick response.

StorageClassEnum.STANDARD

Infrequent Access

Used for storing data that is semi-frequently accessed (fewer than 12 times a year) but is instantly available when needed.

StorageClassEnum.WARM

Archive

Used for storing rarely accessed (once a year) data.

StorageClassEnum.COLD

For more information, see Bucket Storage Classes.

Restrictions

  • To configure a storage class for a bucket, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:PutBucketStoragePolicy in IAM or PutBucketStoragePolicy in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Creating a Custom Bucket Policy.
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
  • The bucket storage class is independent from the storage classes of objects in the bucket. When uploading an object, if you do not specify a storage class for the object, the object will use the same storage class that the bucket uses. However, after the object is uploaded, its storage class will not change as that of the bucket changes. Likewise, the storage class of the bucket will also not change if the storage class of any objects therein changes.

Method

obsClient.setBucketStoragePolicy(String bucketName, BucketStoragePolicyConfiguration bucketStorage)

Request Parameters

Table 1 Request parameters

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.
    • Cannot contain periods (.) and hyphens (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or 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

bucketStorage

BucketStoragePolicyConfiguration

(Inheriting HeaderResponse)

Yes

Explanation:

Storage class of the bucket.

Value range:

See Table 2.

Default value:

None

Table 2 BucketStoragePolicyConfiguration

Parameter

Type

Description

storageClass

StorageClassEnum

Explanation:

Storage class of the bucket.

Value range:

See Table 3.

Default value:

None

Table 3 StorageClassEnum

Constant

Default Value

Description

STANDARD

STANDARD

Standard storage class.

WARM

WARM

Infrequent Access storage class.

COLD

COLD

Archive storage class.

Responses

Table 4 Common response headers

Parameter

Type

Description

statusCode

int

Explanation:

HTTP status code.

Value range:

A status code is a group of digits that can be 2xx (indicating successes) or 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). It indicates the status of a response.

For more information, see Status Code.

Default value:

None

responseHeaders

Map<String, Object>

Explanation:

HTTP response header list, composed of tuples. In a tuple, the String key indicates the name of the header, and the Object value indicates the value of the header.

Default value:

None
