Upgrade and migrate procedures while OpenDAL meets breaking changes.

§Upgrade to v0.46

§Public API

§MSRV Changed to 1.75

Since 0.46, OpenDAL requires Rust 1.75.0 or later to use features like RPITIT and AFIT.

§Services Feature Flag

Starting with version 0.46, OpenDAL only includes the memory service by default to prevent compiling unnecessary service code. To use other services, please activate their respective feature flags.

Additionally, we have removed all reqwest-related feature flags:

  • Users must now directly use reqwest’s feature flags for options like rustls, native-tls, etc.
  • The rustls feature is no longer enabled by default; it must be activated manually.
  • OpenDAL no longer offers the trust-dns option; users should configure the client builder directly.

§Range Based Read

Since v0.46, OpenDAL transformed it’s Read IO trait to range based instead of stateful poll based IO. This change will make the IO more efficient, easier for concurrency and ready for completion based IO.

opendal::Reader now have APIs like:

let r = op.reader("test.txt").await?;
let buf = r.read(1024..2048).await?;

§Buffer Based IO

Since version 0.46, OpenDAL features a native Buffer struct that supports both contiguous and non-contiguous buffers. This update enhances IO efficiency by minimizing unnecessary byte copying and enabling vectored IO.

OpenDAL’s Reader will return Buffer and Writer will accept Buffer as input. Users who have implemented their own IO traits should update their code to use the new Buffer struct.

let r = op.reader("test.txt").await?;
// read returns `Buffer`
let buf: Buffer = r.read(1024..2048).await?;

let w = op.writer("test.txt").await?;

// Buffer can be created from continues bytes.
w.write("hello, world").await?;
// Buffer can also be created from non-continues bytes.
w.write(vec![Bytes::from("hello,"), Bytes::from("world!")]).await?;

// Make sure file has been written completely.
w.close().await?;

To enhance usability, we’ve integrated bridges into bytes::Buf and bytes::BufMut, allowing users to directly interact with the bytes API.

let r = op.reader("test.txt").await?;
let mut bs = vec![];
// read_into accepts bytes::BufMut
let buf: Buffer = r.read_into(&mut bs, 1024..2048).await?;

let w = op.writer("test.txt").await?;

// write_from accepts bytes::Buf
w.write_from("hello, world".as_bytes()).await?;

// Make sure file has been written completely.
w.close().await?;

§Bridge API

OpenDAL’s Reader and Writer previously implemented APIs such as AsyncRead and AsyncWrite directly. This design was not user-friendly, as it could lead to unexpected costs that users were unaware of in advance.

Since v0.46, OpenDAL provides bridge APIs for Reader and Writer instead.

let r = op.reader("test.txt").await?;

// Convert into futures AsyncRead + AsyncSeek.
let reader = r.into_futures_async_read(1024..2048);
// Convert into futures bytes stream.
let stream = r.into_bytes_stream(1024..2048);

let w = op.writer("test.txt").await?;

// Convert into futures AsyncWrite
let writer = w.into_futures_async_write();
// Convert into futures bytes sink;
let sink = w.into_bytes_sink();

§Raw API

§Async in IO trait

Since version 0.46, OpenDAL has adopted Rust’s native async_in_trait for our core IO traits, including oio::Read, oio::Write, and oio::List.

This update eliminates the need for manually written, poll-based state machines and simplifies the codebase. Consequently, OpenDAL now requires Rust version 1.75.0 or later.

Users who have implemented their own IO traits should update their code to use the new async trait syntax.

§Upgrade to v0.45

§Public API

§BlockingLayer is not enabled by default

To further enhance the optionality of tokio, we have introduced a new feature called layers-blocking. The default usage of the blocking layer has been disabled. To utilize the BlockingLayer, please enable the layers-blocking feature.

§TimeoutLayer deprecated with_speed

The with_speed API has been deprecated. Please use with_io_timeout instead.

§Raw API

No raw API changes.

§Upgrade to v0.44

§Public API

§Moka Service Configuration

  • The thread_pool_enabled option has been removed.

§List Prefix Supported

After RFC: List Prefix landed, we have changed the behavior of list a path without /. OpenDAL used to return NotADirectory error, but now we will return the list of entries that start with given prefix instead.

§Upgrade to v0.43

§Public API

§List Recursive

After RFC-3526: List Recursive landed, we have changed the list API to accept recursive instead of delimiter:

Users will need to change the following usage:

  • op.list_with(path).delimiter("") -> op.list_with(path).recursive(true)
  • op.list_with(path).delimiter("/") -> op.list_with(path).recursive(false)

delimiter other than "" and "/" is not supported anymore.

§Stat a dir path

After RFC: List Prefix landed, we have changed the behavior of stat a dir path:

Here are the behavior list:

CasePathResult
stat existing dirabc/Metadata with dir mode
stat existing fileabc/def_fileMetadata with file mode
stat dir without /abc/def_dirError NotFound or metadata with dir mode
stat file with /abc/def_file/Error NotFound
stat not existing pathxyzError NotFound

Services like s3, azblob can handle stat("abc/") correctly by check if there are objects with prefix abc/.

§Raw API

§Lister Align

We changed our internal lister implementation to align with the list public API for better performance and readability.

  • trait Page => List
  • struct Pager => Lister
  • trait BlockingPage => BlockingList
  • struct BlockingPager => BlockingLister

Every call to next will return an entry instead a page of entries. Also, we changed our async list api into poll based instead of async_trait.

§Upgrade to v0.42

§Public API

§MSRV Changed

OpenDAL bumps it’s MSRV to 1.67.0.

§S3 Service Configuration

  • The enable_exact_buf_write option has been deprecated and is superseded by BufferedWriter, introduced in version 0.40.

§Oss Service Configuration

  • The write_min_size option has been deprecated and replaced by BufferedWriter, also introduced in version 0.40.
  • A new setting, allow_anonymous, has been added. Since v0.41, OSS will now return an error if credential loading fails. Enabling allow_anonymous to fallback to request without credentials.

§Ghac Service Configuration

  • The enable_create_simulation option has been removed. We add this option to allow ghac simulate create empty file, but it could result in unexpected behavior when users create a file with content length 1. So we remove it.

§Wasabi Service Removed

wasabi service native support has been removed. Users who want to access wasabi can use our s3 service instead.

§Upgrade to v0.41

There is no public API and raw API changes.

§Upgrade to v0.40

§Public API

§RFC-2578 Merge Append Into Write

RFC-2578 merges append into write and removes append API.

  • For writing a file at once, please use op.write() for convenience.
  • For appending a file, please use op.write_with().append(true) instead of op.append().

The same rule applies to writer() and writer_with().

§RFC-2774 Lister API

RFC-2774 proposes a new lister API to replace current list and scan. And we add a new API list to return entries directly.

  • For listing a directory at once, please use list() for convenience.
  • For listing a directory recursively, please use list_with().delimiter("") or lister_with().delimiter("") instead of scan().
  • For listing in streaming, please use lister() or lister_with() instead.

§RFC-2779 List With Metakey

RFC-2779 proposes a new op.list_with().metakey() API to allow list with metakey and removes op.metadata(&entry) API.

Please use op.list_with().metakey() instead of op.metadata(&entry), for example:

// Before
let entries: Vec<Entry> = op.list("dir/").await?;
for entry in entris {
  let meta = op.metadata(&entry, Metakey::ContentLength | Metakey::ContentType).await?;
  println!("{} {}", entry.name(), entry.metadata().content_length());
}

// After
let entries: Vec<Entry> = op
  .list_with("dir/")
  .metakey(Metakey::ContentLength | Metakey::ContentType).await?;
for entry in entris {
  println!("{} {}", entry.name(), entry.metadata().content_length());
}

§RFC-2852: Native Capability

RFC-2852 proposes new native_capability and full_capability API to allow users to check if the underlying service supports a capability natively.

  • native_capability returns true if the capability is supported natively.
  • full_capability returns true if the capability is supported, maybe via a layer.

Most of time, you can use full_capability to replace capability call. But to check if the capability is supported natively for better performance design, please use native_capability instead.

§Buffered Writer

OpenDAL v0.40 added buffered writer support!

Users don’t need to specify the content_length() for writer anymore!

- let mut w = op.writer_with("path/to/file").content_length(1024).await?;
+ let mut w = op.writer_with("path/to/file").await?;

Users can specify the buffer() to control the size we call underlying storage:

let mut w = op.writer_with("path/to/file").buffer(8 * 1024 * 1024).await?;

If buffer is not specified, we will call underlying storage everytime we call write. Otherwise, we will make sure to call underlying storage when buffer is full or close is called.

§RangeRead and RangeReader

OpenDAL v0.40 removed the origin range_read and range_reader interfaces, please use read_with().range() or reader_with().range().

- op.range_read(path, range_start..range_end).await?;
+ op.read_with(path).range(range_start..range_end).await?;
- let reader = op.range_reader(path, range_start..range_end).await?;
+ let reader = op.reader_with(path).range(range_start..range_end).await?;

§Raw API

§RFC-3017 Remove Write Copy From

RFC-3017 removes copy_from API from the oio::Write trait. Users who implements services and layers by hand should remove this API.

§Upgrade to v0.39

§Public API

§Service S3 Role Arn Behavior

In PR #2687, OpenDAL changed the behavior when role_arn has been specified.

OpenDAL used to override role_arn simply. But since this version, OpenDAL will make sure to use assume_role with specified role_arn and external_id (if supplied).

§RetryLayer supports RetryInterceptor

In PR #2666, RetryLayer supports RetryInterceptor. To implement this change, RetryLayer changed it’s in-memory layout by adding a new generic parameter I to RetryLayer<I>.

Users who stores RetryLayer in struct or enum will need to change the type if they don’t want to use default behavior.

§Raw API

In PR #2698, OpenDAL re-org the internal structure of opendal::raw::oio and changed some APIs name.

§Upgrade to v0.38

There are no public API changes.

§Raw API

OpenDAL add the Write::sink API to enable streaming writing. This is a breaking change for users who depend on the raw API.

For a quick fix, users who have implemented opendal::raw::oio::Write can return an Unsupported error for Write::sink().

More details could be found at RFC: Writer sink API.

§Upgrade to v0.37

In v0.37.0, OpenDAL bump the version of reqsign to v0.13.0.

There are no public API and raw API changes.

§Upgrade to v0.36

§Public API

In v0.36, OpenDAL improving the xxx_with API by allow it to be called in chain:

After this change, all xxx_with alike call will be changed from

let bs = op.read_with(
  "path/to/file",
  OpRead::new()
    .with_range(0..=1024)
    .with_if_match("<etag>")
    .with_if_none_match("<etag>")
    .with_override_cache_control("<cache_control>")
    .with_override_content_disposition("<content_disposition>")
  ).await?;

to

let bs = op.read_with("path/to/file")
  .range(0..=1024)
  .if_match("<etag>")
  .if_none_match("<etag>")
  .override_cache_control("<cache_control>")
  .override_content_disposition("<content_disposition>")
  .await?;

For blocking API calls, we will need a call() at the end:

let bs = bop.read_with("path/to/file")
  .range(0..=1024)
  .if_match("<etag>")
  .if_none_match("<etag>")
  .override_cache_control("<cache_control>")
  .override_content_disposition("<content_disposition>")
  .call()?;

Along with this change, users don’t need to call OpXxx anymore so we moved it to raw API.

More details could be found at RFC: Chain Based Operator API.

§Raw API

Migrated opendal::ops to opendal::raw::ops.

§Upgrade to v0.35

§Public API

  • OpenDAL removes rarely used Operator::from_env and Operator::from_iter APIs
    • Users can use Operator::via_map instead.

§Raw API

  • OpenDAL adds append support with could break existing layers. Please make sure append requests have been forward correctly.
  • After the merging of scan and list, OpenDAL removes the scan from raw API. Please use list_without_delimiter instead.

§Upgrade to v0.34

§Public API

  • OpenDAL raises it’s MSRV to 1.65 for dependencies changes
  • OperatorInfo::can_scan has been removed, to check if underlying services support scan a dir natively, please use Capability::list_without_delimiter instead.

§Raw API

§Merged scan into list

After Capability introduced, we have added delimiter in OpList. Users can specify the delimiter to "" or "/" to control the list behavior.

Along with this change, Operator::scan() becomes a short alias of Operator::list_with(OpList::new().with_delimiter("")).

§Typed Kv Adapter

In v0.34, OpenDAL adds a typed kv adapter for zero-copy read and write. If you are implemented kv adapter for a rust in-memory data struct, please consider migrate.

§Upgrade to v0.33

§Public API

OpenDAL 0.33 has redesigned the Writer API, replacing all instances of writer.append() with writer.write(). For more information, please refer to Writer.

§Raw API

In addition to the redesign of the Writer API, we have removed append from oio::Write. Therefore, users who implement services and layers should also remove it.

After v0.33 landing, services should handle OpWrite::content_length correctly by following these guidelines:

  • If the writer does not support uploading unsized data, return a response of NotSupported if content length is None.
  • Otherwise, continue writing data until either close or abort has been called.

Furthermore, OpenDAL 0.33 introduces a new concept called Capability which replaces AccessorCapability. Services must adapt to this change.

§Upgrade to v0.32

OpenDAL 0.32 doesn’t have much breaking changes.

We changed Accessor::create into Accessor::create_dir. Only users who implement Layer need to change.

§Upgrade to v0.31

In version v0.31 of OpenDAL, we made some internal refactoring to improve its compatibility with the ecosystem.

§MSRV Bump

We increased the MSRV to 1.64 from v0.31 onwards. Although it is still possible to build OpenDAL under older rustc versions, we cannot guarantee that any issues related to them will be fixed.

§Accept std::time::Duration instead

Previously, OpenDAL accepted time::Duration as input for presign_xxx. However, since v0.31, we have changed this to accept std::time::Duration so that users do not need to depend on time. Internally, we migrated from time to chrono for better integration with other parts of the ecosystem.

§disable_ec2_metadata for services s3

We have added a new configuration option called disable_ec2_metadata for the S3 service in response to a mistake where it was mixed up with another option called disable_config_load. Users who want to disable loading credentials from EC2 metadata should set this option instead.

§Services Feature Flag

Starting from v0.31, all services in OpenDAL are split into different feature flags. To enable only S3 support, use the following TOML configuration:

opendal = {
    version = "0.31",
    default-features = false,
    features = ["services-s3"]
}

§Upgrade to v0.30

In version 0.30, we made significant breaking changes by removing objects. Our goal in doing so was to provide our users with APIs that are easier to understand and maintain.

More details could be found at RFC: Remove Object Concept.

To upgrade to OpenDAL v0.30, users need to make the following changes:

  • regex replace object\((.*)\).reader\(\) to reader($1)
    • replace the function on your case, it’s recommended to do it one by one
  • rename ObjectMetakey => Metakey
  • rename ObjectMode => EntryMode
  • replace ErrorKind::ObjectXxx to ErrorKind::Xxx
  • rename AccessorMetadata => AccessorInfo
  • rename ObjectMetadata => Metadata
  • replace operator.metadata() => operator.info()

§Upgrade to v0.29

In v0.29, we introduced Object Writer to replace existing Multipart related APIs.

Users can now append multiparts bytes into object via:

let mut w = o.writer().await?;
w.write(bs1).await?;
w.write(bs2).await?;
w.close()

Along with this change, we cleaned up a lot of internal structs and traits. Users who used to depend on opendal::raw::io::{input,output} should use opendal::raw::oio instead.

Also, decompress related feature also removed. Users can use async-compression with ObjectReader directly.

§Upgrade to v0.28

In v0.28, we introduced Query Based Metadata. Users can query cached metadata with ObjectMetakey to make sure that OpenDAL always makes the best decision.

- pub async fn metadata(&self) -> Result<ObjectMetadata>;
+ pub async fn metadata(
+        &self,
+        flags: impl Into<FlagSet<ObjectMetakey>>,
+    ) -> Result<Arc<ObjectMetadata>>;

Please visit Object::metadata()’s example for more details.

§Upgrade to v0.27

In v0.27, we refactored our list related logic and added scan support. So make Pager and BlockingPager associated types in Accessor too!

pub trait Accessor: Send + Sync + Debug + Unpin + 'static {
    type Reader: output::Read;
    type BlockingReader: output::BlockingRead;
+    type Pager: output::Page;
+    type BlockingPager: output::BlockingPage;
}

§User defined layers

Due to this change, all layers implementation should be changed. If there is not changed over pager, they can be changed like the following:

impl<A: Accessor> LayeredAccessor for MyAccessor<A> {
    type Inner = A;
    type Reader = MyReader<A::Reader>;
    type BlockingReader = MyReader<A::BlockingReader>;
+    type Pager = A::Pager;
+    type BlockingPager = A::BlockingPager;

+    async fn list(&self, path: &str, args: OpList) -> Result<(RpList, Self::Pager)> {
+        self.inner.list(path, args).await
+    }

+    async fn scan(&self, path: &str, args: OpScan) -> Result<(RpScan, Self::Pager)> {
+        self.inner.scan(path, args).await
+    }

+    fn blocking_list(&self, path: &str, args: OpList) -> Result<(RpList, Self::BlockingPager)> {
+        self.inner.blocking_list(path, args)
+    }

+    fn blocking_scan(&self, path: &str, args: OpScan) -> Result<(RpScan, Self::BlockingPager)> {
+        self.inner.blocking_scan(path, args)
+    }
}

§Usage of ops

To reduce the understanding overhead, we move all OpXxx into opendal::ops now. User may need to change:

- use opendal::OpWrite;
+ use opendal::ops::OpWrite;

§Usage of RetryLayer

backon is the implementation detail of our RetryLayer, so we hide it from our public API. Users of RetryLayer need to change the code like:

- RetryLayer::new(backon::ExponentialBackoff::default())
+ RetryLayer::new()

§Upgrade to v0.26

In v0.26 we have replaced all internal dynamic dispatch usage with static dispatch. With this change, we can ensure that all operations performed inside OpenDAL are zero cost.

Due to this change, we have to refactor the logic of Operator’s init logic. In v0.26, we added opendal::Builder trait and opendal::OperatorBuilder. For the first glance, the only change to existing code will be like:

- let op = Operator::new(builder.build()?);
+ let op = Operator::new(builder.build()?).finish();

By adding a finish() call, we will erase all generic types so that Operator can still be easily used everywhere as before.

§Accessor

In v0.26, Accessor has been changed into trait with associated types.

All services need to declare the types returned as Reader or BlockingReader:

pub trait Accessor: Send + Sync + Debug + Unpin + 'static {
    type Reader: output::Read;
    type BlockingReader: output::BlockingRead;
}

If your service doesn’t support read or blocking_read, we can use () to represent a dummy reader:

impl Accessor for MyDummyAccessor {
    type Reader = ();
    type BlockingReader = ();
}

§Layer

As described before, OpenDAL prefer to use static dispatch. Layers are required to implement the new Layer and LayeredAccessor trait:

pub trait Layer<A: Accessor> {
    type LayeredAccessor: Accessor;

    fn layer(&self, inner: A) -> Self::LayeredAccessor;
}

#[async_trait]
pub trait LayeredAccessor: Send + Sync + Debug + Unpin + 'static {
    type Inner: Accessor;
    type Reader: output::Read;
    type BlockingReader: output::BlockingRead;
}

LayeredAccessor is a wrapper of Accessor with the typed Innder. All methods that not implemented will be forward to inner instead.

§Builder

Since v0.26, we implement opendal::Builder for all services, and services’ mod will not be exported.

- use opendal::services::s3::Builder;
+ use opendal::services::S3;

§Conclusion

Sorry again for the big changes in this release. It’s a big step for OpenDAL to work in more critical systems.

§Upgrade to v0.25

In v0.25, we bring the same feature sets from ObjectReader to BlockingObjectReader.

Due to this change, all code that depends on BlockingBytesReader should be refactored.

  • BlockingBytesReader => input::BlockingReader
  • BlockingOutputBytesReader => output::BlockingReader

Most changes only happen inside. Users not using opendal::raw::* will not be affected.

Apart from this change, we refactored s3 credential loading logic. After this change, we can disable the config load instead of the credential methods.

  • builder.disable_credential_loader => builder.disable_config_load

§Upgrade to v0.24

In v0.24, we made a big refactor on our internal IO-related traits. In this version, we split our IO traits into input and output versions:

Take Reader as an example:

input::Reader is the user input reader, which only requires futures::AsyncRead + Send.

output::Reader is the reader returned by OpenDAL, which implements futures::AsyncRead, futures::AsyncSeek, and futures::Stream<Item=io::Result<Bytes>>. Besides, output::Reader also implements Send + Sync, which makes it useful for users.

Due to this change, all code that depends on BytesReader should be refactored.

  • BytesReader => input::Reader
  • OutputBytesReader => output::Reader

Thanks to the change of IO trait split, we make ObjectReader implements all needed traits:

  • futures::AsyncRead
  • futures::AsyncSeek
  • futures::Stream<Item=io::Result<Bytes>>

Thus, we removed the seekable_reader API. They can be replaced by range_reader:

  • o.seekable_reader => o.range_reader

Most changes only happen inside. Users not using opendal::raw::* will not be affected.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I think those changes are required and make OpenDAL better! Welcome any comments at Discussion.

§Upgrade to v0.21

v0.21 is an internal refactor version of OpenDAL. In this version, we refactored our error handling and our Accessor APIs. Thanks to those internal changes, we added an object-level metadata cache, making it nearly zero cost to reuse existing metadata continuously.

Let’s start with our errors.

§Error Handling

As described in RFC-0977: Refactor Error, we refactor opendal error by a new error called opendal::Error.

This change will affect all APIs that are used to return io::Error.

To migrate this, please replace std::io::Error with opendal::Error:

- use std::io::Result;
+ use opendal::Result;

And the following error kinds should be updated:

  • std::io::ErrorKind::NotFound => opendal::ErrorKind::ObjectNotFound
  • std::io::ErrorKind::PermissionDenied => opendal::ErrorKind::ObjectPermissionDenied

And since v0.21, we will return errors ObjectIsADirectory and ObjectNotADirectory instead of anyhow::Error.

§Accessor API

In v0.21, we refactor the whole Accessor’s API:

- async fn write(&self, path: &str, args: OpWrite, r: BytesReader) -> Result<u64>
+ async fn write(&self, path: &str, args: OpWrite, r: BytesReader) -> Result<RpWrite>

Since v0.21, we will return a reply struct for different operations called RpWrite instead of an exact type. We can split OpenDAL’s public API and raw API with this change.

§ObjectList and Page

Since v0.21, Accessor will return Pager for List:

- async fn list(&self, path: &str, args: OpList) -> Result<ObjectStreamer>
+ async fn list(&self, path: &str, args: OpList) -> Result<(RpList, output::Pager)>

And Object will return an ObjectLister which is built upon Page:

pub async fn list(&self) -> Result<ObjectLister> { ... }

ObjectLister can be used as an object stream as before. It also provides the function next_page to get the underlying pages directly:

impl ObjectLister {
    pub async fn next_page(&mut self) -> Result<Option<Vec<Object>>>;
}

§Code Layout

Since v0.21, we have categorized all APIs into public and raw.

Public APIs are exposed under opendal::Xxx; they are user-face APIs that are easy to use and understand.

Raw APIs are exposed under opendal::raw::Xxx; they are implementation details for underlying services and layers.

Please replace all usage of opendal::io_util::* and opendal::http_util::* to opendal::raw::* instead.

With this change, new users of OpenDAL maybe be it easier to get started.

§Summary

Sorry for introducing too much breaking change in a single version. This version can be a solid version for preparing OpenDAL v1.0.

§Upgrade to v0.20

v0.20 is a big release that we introduce a lot of performance related changes.

To make the best of information from read operation, we propose and implemented RFC-0926: Object Reader. By this RFC, we can fetch content length from ObjectReader now!

pub struct ObjectReader {
    inner: BytesReader
    meta: ObjectMetadata,
}

impl ObjectReader {
    pub fn content_length(&self) -> u64 {}
    pub fn last_modified(&self) -> Option<OffsetDateTime> {}
    pub fn etag(&self) -> Option<String> {}
}

To make this happen, we changed our Accessor API:

- async fn read(&self, path: &str, args: OpRead) -> Result<BytesReader> {}
+ async fn read(&self, path: &str, args: OpRead) -> Result<ObjectReader> {}

All layers should be updated to meet this change. Also, it’s required to return content_length while building ObjectReader. Please make sure the returning ObjectMetadata is used correctly.

§Upgrade to v0.19

OpenDAL deprecate some features:

  • serde: We will enable it by default.
  • layers-retry: We will enable retry support by default.
  • layers-metadata-cache: We will enable it by default.

Deprecated types like DirEntry has been removed.

§Upgrade to v0.18

OpenDAL v0.18 introduces the following breaking changes:

  • Deprecated feature flag services-http has been removed.
  • All DirXxx items have been renamed to ObjectXxx to make them more consistent.
    • DirEntry -> Entry
    • DirStream -> ObjectStream
    • DirStreamer -> ObjectStream
    • DirIterate -> ObjectIterate
    • DirIterator -> ObjectIterator

Besides, we also make a big change to our Entry API. Since v0.18, we can fully reuse the metadata that fetched during list. Take entry.content_length() for example:

  • If content_length is already known, we will return directly.
  • If not, we will check if the object entry is complete:
    • If complete, the entry already fetched all metadata that it could have, return directly.
    • If not, we will send a stat call to get the metadata and refresh our cache.

This change means:

  • All API like content_length will be changed into async functions.
  • metadata and blocking_metadata will not return errors anymore.
  • To retrieve the latest meta, please use entry.into_object().metadata() instead.

§Upgrade to v0.17

OpenDAL v0.17 refactor the Accessor to make space for future features.

We move path String out of the OpXxx to function args so that we don’t need to clone twice.

- async fn read(&self, args: OpRead) -> Result<BytesReader>
+ async fn read(&self, path: &str, args: OpRead) -> Result<BytesReader>

For more information about this change, please refer to RFC-0661: Path In Accessor.

And since OpenDAL v0.17, we will use rustls as default tls engine for our underlying http client. Since this release, we will not depend on openssl anymore.

§Upgrade to v0.16

OpenDAL v0.16 refactor the internal implementation of http service. Since v0.16, http service can be used directly without enabling services-http feature. Accompany by these changes, http service has the following breaking changes:

  • services-http feature has been deprecated. Enabling services-http is a no-op now.
  • http service is read only services and can’t be used to list or write.

OpenDAL introduces a new layer ImmutableIndexLayer that can add list capability for services:

use opendal::layers::ImmutableIndexLayer;
use opendal::Operator;
use opendal::Scheme;

async fn main() {
    let mut iil = ImmutableIndexLayer::default();

    for i in ["file", "dir/", "dir/file", "dir_without_prefix/file"] {
        iil.insert(i.to_string())
    }

    let op = Operator::from_env(Scheme::Http)?.layer(iil);
}

For more information about this change, please refer to RFC-0627: Split Capabilities.

§Upgrade to v0.14

OpenDAL v0.14 removed all deprecated APIs in previous versions, including:

  • Operator::with_backoff in v0.13
  • All services Builder::finish() in v0.12
  • All services Backend::build() in v0.12

Please visit related version’s upgrade guide for migration.

And in OpenDAL v0.14, we introduce a break change for write operations.

pub trait Accessor {
    - async fn write(&self, args: &OpWrite) -> Result<BytesWriter> {}
    + async fn write(&self, args: &OpWrite, r: BytesReader) -> Result<u64> {}
}

The following APIs have affected by this change:

  • Object::write now accept impl Into<Vec<u8>> instead of AsRef<&[u8]>
  • Object::writer has been removed.
  • Object::write_from has been added to support write from a reader.
  • All layers should be refactored to adapt new Accessor trait.

For more information about this change, please refer to RFC-0554: Write Refactor.

§Upgrade to v0.13

OpenDAL deprecate Operator::with_backoff since v0.13.

Please use RetryLayer instead:

use anyhow::Result;
use backon::ExponentialBackoff;
use opendal::layers::RetryLayer;
use opendal::Operator;
use opendal::Scheme;

let _ = Operator::from_env(Scheme::Fs)
    .expect("must init")
    .layer(RetryLayer::new(ExponentialBackoff::default()));

§Upgrade to v0.12

OpenDAL introduces breaking changes for services initiation.

Since v0.12, Operator::new will accept impl Accessor + 'static instead of Arc<dyn Accessor>:

impl Operator {
    pub fn new(accessor: impl Accessor + 'static) -> Self { .. }
}

Every service’s Builder now have a build() API which can be run without async:

let mut builder = fs::Builder::default();
let op: Operator = Operator::new(builder.build()?);

Along with these changes, Operator::from_iter and Operator::from_env now is a blocking API too.

For more information about this change, please refer to RFC-0501: New Builder.

The following APIs have been deprecated:

  • All services Builder::finish() (replaced by Builder::build())
  • All services Backend::build() (replace by Builder::default())

The following APIs have been removed:

  • public struct Metadata (deprecated in v0.8, replaced by ObjectMetadata)

§Upgrade to v0.8

OpenDAL introduces a breaking change of list related operations in v0.8.

Since v0.8, list will return DirStreamer instead:

pub trait Accessor: Send + Sync + Debug {
    async fn list(&self, args: &OpList) -> Result<DirStreamer> {}
}

DirStreamer streams DirEntry which carries ObjectMode, so that we don’t need an extra call to get object mode:

impl DirEntry {
    pub fn mode(&self) -> ObjectMode {
        self.mode
    }
}

And DirEntry can be converted into Object without overhead:

let o: Object = de.into()

Since v0.8, opendal::Metadata has been deprecated by opendal::ObjectMetadata.

§Upgrade to v0.7

OpenDAL introduces a breaking change of decompress_read related in v0.7.

Since v0.7, decompress_read and decompress_reader will return Ok(None) while OpenDAL can’t detect the correct compress algorithm.

impl Object {
    pub async fn decompress_read(&self) -> Result<Option<Vec<u8>>> {}
    pub async fn decompress_reader(&self) -> Result<Option<impl BytesRead>> {}
}

So users should match and check the None case:

let bs = o.decompress_read().await?.expect("must have valid compress algorithm");

§Upgrade to v0.4

OpenDAL introduces many breaking changes in v0.4.

§Object::reader() is not AsyncSeek anymore

Since v0.4, Object::reader() will return impl BytesRead instead of Reader that implements AsyncRead and AsyncSeek. Users who want AsyncSeek please wrapped with opendal::io_util::seekable_read:

use opendal::io_util::seekable_read;

let o = op.object("test");
let mut r = seekable_read(&o, 10..);
r.seek(SeekFrom::Current(10)).await?;
let mut bs = vec![0;10];
r.read(&mut bs).await?;

§Use RangeBounds instead

Since v0.4, the following APIs will be removed.

  • Object::limited_reader(size: u64)
  • Object::offset_reader(offset: u64)
  • Object::range_reader(offset: u64, size: u64)

Instead, OpenDAL is providing a more general range_reader powered by RangeBounds:

pub async fn range_reader(&self, range: impl RangeBounds<u64>) -> Result<impl BytesRead>

Users can use their familiar rust range syntax:

let r = o.range_reader(1024..2048).await?;

§Return io::Result instead

Since v0.4, all functions in OpenDAL will return std::io::Result instead.

Please check via std::io::ErrorKind directly:

use std::io::ErrorKind;

if let Err(e) = op.object("test_file").metadata().await {
    if e.kind() == ErrorKind::NotFound {
        println!("object not exist")
    }
}

§Removing Credential

Since v0.4, Credential has been removed, please use the API provided by Builder directly.

builder.access_key_id("access_key_id");
builder.secret_access_key("secret_access_key");

§Write returns BytesWriter instead

Since v0.4, Accessor::write will return a BytesWriter instead accepting a BoxedAsyncReader.

Along with this change, the old Writer has been replaced by a new set of write functions:

pub async fn write(&self, bs: impl AsRef<[u8]>) -> Result<()> {}
pub async fn writer(&self, size: u64) -> Result<impl BytesWrite> {}

Users can write into an object more easily:

let _ = op.object("path/to/file").write("Hello, World!").await?;

§io_util replaces readers

Since v0.4, mod io_util will replace readers. In io_utils, OpenDAL provides helpful functions like:

  • into_reader: Convert BytesStream into BytesRead
  • into_sink: Convert BytesWrite into BytesSink
  • into_stream: Convert BytesRead into BytesStream
  • into_writer: Convert BytesSink into BytesWrite
  • observe_read: Add callback for BytesReader
  • observe_write: Add callback for BytesWrite

§New type alias

For better naming, types that OpenDAL returns have been renamed:

  • AsyncRead + Unpin + Send => BytesRead
  • BoxedAsyncReader => BytesReader
  • AsyncWrite + Unpin + Send => BytesWrite
  • BoxedAsyncWriter => BytesWriter
  • ObjectStream => ObjectStreamer
