# Summary | ||
|
||
Enhance the `Writer` by adding concurrent write capabilities. | ||
|
||
# Motivation | ||
|
||
Certain services, such as S3, GCS, and AzBlob, offer the `multi_write` functionality, allowing users to perform multiple write operations for uploading of large files. If a service support `multi_write`, the [Capability::write_can_multi](https://opendal.apache.org/docs/rust/opendal/struct.Capability.html#structfield.write_can_multi) metadata should be set to `true`. | ||
```rust | ||
let mut writer = op.writer("path/to").await?; // a writers supports the `multi_write`. | ||
writer.write(part0).await?; | ||
writer.write(part1).await?; // It starts to upload after the `part0` is finished. | ||
writer.close().await?; | ||
``` | ||
Currently, when invoking a `Writer` that supports the `multi_write` functionality, multiple writes are proceed serially, without fully leveraging the potential for improved throughput through concurrent uploads. We should enhance support to allow concurrent processing of multiple write operations. | ||
|
||
|
||
# Guide-level explanation | ||
|
||
For users who want to concurrent writer, they will call the new API `concurrent`. And the default behavior remains unchanged, so users using `op.writer_with()` are not affected. The `concurrent` function will take a number as input, and this number will represent the maximum concurrent write task amount the writer can perform. | ||
|
||
- If `concurrent` is set to 0 or 1, it functions with default behavior(writes serially). | ||
- However, if `concurrent` is set to number larger than 1. It enables concurrent uploading of up to `concurrent` write tasks and allows users to initiate additional write tasks without waiting to complete the previous write operation, as long as the inner task queue still has available slots. | ||
|
||
The concurrent write feature operate independently of other features. | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
let mut w = op.writer_with(path).concurrent(8).await; | ||
w.write(part0).await?; | ||
w.write(part1).await?; // `write` won't wait for part0. | ||
w.close().await?; // `close` will make sure all parts are finished. | ||
``` | ||
|
||
# Reference-level explanation | ||
|
||
The S3 and similar services use `MultipartUploadWriter`, while GCS uses `RangeWriter`. We can enhance these services by adding concurrent write features to them. A `concurrent` field of type `usize` will be introduced to `OpWrite` to allow the user to set the maximum concurrent write task amount. For other services that don't support `multi_write`, setting the concurrent parameter will have no effect, maintaining the default behavior. | ||
|
||
This feature will be implemented in the `MultipartUploadWriter` and `RangeWriter`, which will utilize a `ConcurrentFutures<WriteTask>` as a task queue to store concurrent write tasks. | ||
|
||
When the upper layer invokes `poll_write`, the `Writer` pushes write to the task queue (`ConcurrentFutures<WriteTask>`) if there are available slots, and then relinquishes control back to the upper layer. This allows for up to `concurrent` write tasks to uploaded concurrently without waiting. If the task queue is full, the `Writer` waits for the first task to yield results. | ||
