s3gof3r 
s3gof3r provides fast, parallelized, pipelined streaming access to Amazon S3. It includes a command-line interface: gof3r.
It is optimized for high speed transfer of large objects into and out of Amazon S3. Streaming support allows for usage like:
$ tar -czf - <my_dir/> | gof3r put -b <s3_bucket> -k <s3_object>
$ gof3r get -b <s3_bucket> -k <s3_object> | tar -zx
Speed Benchmarks
On an EC2 instance, gof3r can exceed 1 Gbps for both puts and gets:
$ gof3r get -b test-bucket -k 8_GB_tar | pv -a | tar -x
Duration: 53.201632211s
[ 167MB/s]
$ tar -cf - test_dir/ | pv -a | gof3r put -b test-bucket -k 8_GB_tar
Duration: 1m16.080800315s
[ 119MB/s]
These tests were performed on an m1.xlarge EC2 instance with a virtualized 1 Gigabit ethernet interface. See Amazon EC2 Instance Details for more information.
Features
-
Speed: Especially for larger s3 objects where parallelism can be exploited, s3gof3r will saturate the bandwidth of an EC2 instance. See the Benchmarks above.
-
Streaming Uploads and Downloads: As the above examples illustrate, streaming allows the gof3r command-line tool to be used with linux/unix pipes. This allows transformation of the data in parallel as it is uploaded or downloaded from S3.
-
End-to-end Integrity Checking: s3gof3r calculates the md5 hash of the stream in parallel while uploading and downloading. On upload, a file containing the md5 hash is saved in s3. This is checked against the calculated md5 on download. On upload, the content-md5 of each part is calculated and sent with the header to be checked by AWS. s3gof3r also checks the 'hash of hashes' returned by S3 in the
Etagfield on completion of a multipart upload. See the S3 API Reference for details. -
Retry Everything: All http requests and every part is retried on both uploads and downloads. Requests to S3 frequently time out, especially under high load, so this is essential to complete large uploads or downloads.
-
Memory Efficiency: Memory used to upload and download parts is recycled. For an upload or download with the default concurrency of 10 and part size of 20 MB, the maximum memory usage is less than 300 MB. Memory footprint can be further reduced by reducing part size or concurrency.
Installation
s3gof3r is written in Go and requires a Go installation. It can be installed with go get to download and compile it from source. To install the command-line tool, gof3r:
$ go get github.com/rlmcpherson/s3gof3r/gof3r
To install just the package for use in other Go programs:
$ go get github.com/rlmcpherson/s3gof3r
Release Binaries
To try the latest release of the gof3r command-line interface without installing go, download the statically-linked binary for your architecture from Github Releases.
gof3r (command-line interface) usage:
To stream up to S3:
$ <input_stream> | gof3r put -b <bucket> -k <s3_path>
To stream down from S3:
$ gof3r get -b <bucket> -k <s3_path> | <output_stream>
To upload a file to S3:
$ $ gof3r cp <local_path> s3://<bucket>/<s3_path>
To download a file from S3:
$ gof3r cp s3://<bucket>/<s3_path> <local_path>
Set AWS keys as environment Variables:
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<access_key>
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret_key>
gof3r also supports IAM role-based keys from EC2 instance metadata. If available and environment variables are not set, these keys are used are used automatically.
Examples:
$ tar -cf - /foo_dir/ | gof3r put -b my_s3_bucket -k bar_dir/s3_object -m x-amz-meta-custom-metadata:abc123 -m x-amz-server-side-encryption:AES256
$ gof3r get -b my_s3_bucket -k bar_dir/s3_object | tar -x

Overview ¶
Package s3gof3r provides fast, parallelized, streaming access to Amazon S3. It includes a command-line interface: `gof3r`.
Index ¶
Examples ¶
Constants ¶
This section is empty.
Variables ¶
var DefaultConfig = &Config{ Concurrency: 10, PartSize: 20 * mb, NTry: 10, Md5Check: true, Scheme: "https", Client: ClientWithTimeout(clientTimeout), }
DefaultConfig contains defaults used if *Config is nil
var DefaultDomain = "s3.amazonaws.com"
DefaultDomain is set to the endpoint for the U.S. S3 service.
Functions ¶
func ClientWithTimeout ¶
ClientWithTimeout is an http client optimized for high throughput to S3, It times out more agressively than the default http client in net/http as well as setting deadlines on the TCP connection
Types ¶
type Bucket ¶
A Bucket for an S3 service.
func (*Bucket) Delete ¶ added in v0.4.6
Delete deletes the key at path If the path does not exist, Delete returns nil (no error).
func (*Bucket) GetReader ¶
GetReader provides a reader and downloads data using parallel ranged get requests. Data from the requests are ordered and written sequentially.
Data integrity is verified via the option specified in c. Header data from the downloaded object is also returned, useful for reading object metadata. DefaultConfig is used if c is nil Callers should call Close on r to ensure that all resources are released.
Example ¶
k, err := EnvKeys() // get S3 keys from environment
if err != nil {
return err
}
// Open bucket to put file into
s3 := New("", k)
b := s3.Bucket("bucketName")
r, h, err := b.GetReader("keyName", nil)
if err != nil {
return err
}
// stream to standard output
if _, err = io.Copy(os.Stdout, r); err != nil {
return err
}
err = r.Close()
if err != nil {
return err
}
fmt.Println(h) // print key header data
return nil
Output:
func (*Bucket) PutWriter ¶
PutWriter provides a writer to upload data as multipart upload requests.
Each header in h is added to the HTTP request header. This is useful for specifying options such as server-side encryption in metadata as well as custom user metadata. DefaultConfig is used if c is nil. Callers should call Close on w to ensure that all resources are released.
Example ¶
k, err := EnvKeys() // get S3 keys from environment
if err != nil {
return err
}
// Open bucket to put file into
s3 := New("", k)
b := s3.Bucket("bucketName")
// open file to upload
file, err := os.Open("fileName")
if err != nil {
return err
}
// Open a PutWriter for upload
w, err := b.PutWriter(file.Name(), nil, nil)
if err != nil {
return err
}
if _, err = io.Copy(w, file); err != nil { // Copy into S3
return err
}
if err = w.Close(); err != nil {
return err
}
return nil
Output:
type Config ¶
type Config struct {
*http.Client // http client to use for requests
Concurrency int // number of parts to get or put concurrently
PartSize int64 // initial part size in bytes to use for multipart gets or puts
NTry int // maximum attempts for each part
Md5Check bool // The md5 hash of the object is stored in <bucket>/.md5/<object_key>.md5
// When true, it is stored on puts and verified on gets
Scheme string // url scheme, defaults to 'https'
PathStyle bool // use path style bucket addressing instead of virtual host style
}
Config includes configuration parameters for s3gof3r
type Keys ¶
Keys for an Amazon Web Services account. Used for signing http requests.
func InstanceKeys ¶ added in v0.3.2
InstanceKeys Requests the AWS keys from the instance-based metadata on EC2 Assumes only one IAM role.
type RespError ¶ added in v0.4.3
type RespError struct {
Code string
Message string
Resource string
RequestID string `xml:"RequestId"`
StatusCode int
}
RespError representbs an http error response http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/ErrorResponses.html
