Currently, when chunk=100MiB is used with a special remote, git-annex will
use 100 mb ram when uploading a large file to it. The current chunk is
buffered in ram.
See comment in Remote.Helper.Chunked:
- More optimal versions of this can be written, that rely
- on L.toChunks to split the lazy bytestring into chunks (typically
- smaller than the ChunkSize), and eg, write those chunks to a Handle.
- But this is the best that can be done with the storer interface that
- writes a whole L.ByteString at a time.
The buffering is probably fine for smaller chunks, in the < 10 mb or
whatever range. Reading such a chunk from gpg and converting it into a http
request will generally need to buffer it all in memory anyway. But, for
eg external special remotes, the content is going to be written to a file
anyway, so there's no point in buffering the content in memory first.
So, need something like:
prefersFileContent :: Storer -> Bool
And then when storeChunks is given such a Storer, it can then avoid buffering
and write chunk data to a temp file to pass it to the Storer.
