Description

LTS system prefers archive files of a certain size that are optimal to write and read. Our current implementation creates a uncompressed TAR file which adds files to an archive file as long as it is smaller than the optimum size.

However, the implementation has some limitations:

  • it's self-made and might contain bugs or cannot handle certain edge-cases
  • the archive files are not compressed
  • the archive files are unencrypted
  • if the source file is bigger than the optimal archive size, the file is not split into chunks

Solution proposals
There are commercial and non-commercial solutions available that offer such archiving functionalities, such as

Definition of Done

  • files of any size are bundled into archive files
  • these archive files have fixed size that is most suitable for the LTS system
  • optional encryption can be added
