s3parcp

s3parcp is a CLI wrapper around AWS's Go SDK's Downloader. This downloader provides a chunked parallel download implementation from s3 offering speeds faster than s3cp. The API is inspired by cp.

Examples

Uploading

s3parcp my/local/file s3://my-bucket/my-object

Downloading

s3parcp s3://my-bucket/my-object my/local/file

Tuning Chunk Parameters

Note: These example parameters don't necessarily represent good parameters for your system. s3parcp uses sane defaults so it is recommended to use the default parameters unless you have reason to believe your values will work better.

PART_SIZE=1048576 # 1 MB
BUFFER_SIZE=10485760 # 10 MB
CONCURRENCY=8
s3parcp \
  --part-size $PART_SIZE \
  --concurrency $CONCURRENCY \
  --buffer-size $BUFFER_SIZE \
  my/local/file s3://my-bucket/my-object

Using CRC32C Checksum

You must upload your file to s3 with s3parcp and the --checksum flag to use this feature for downloads.

Upload your file:

s3parcp --checksum my/local/file s3://my-bucket/my-object

The checksum should be stored in the s3 object's metadata with the key x-amz-meta-crc32c-checksum.

Download your file:

s3parcp --checksum s3://my-bucket/my-object my/new/local/file

Features

checksum

This tool comes with a parallelized crc32c checksum validator. The AWS SDK does not support checksums for multipart downloads. If you include the --checksum flag when uploading a checksum of your file will be computed and stored in the object's metadata in s3 with the key x-amz-meta-crc32c-checksum. When downloading, the --checksum flag will compute an independent crc32c checksum of the downloaded file and compare it of the checksum in the object's metadata.
