Large files will be transferred to DuraCloud using an API addition which makes use of the S3 multipart upload feature
-
This will remove the need for the DuraCloud client tools to handle chunking and stitching of content.
-
This change will allow large files to be viewed and retrieved in DuraCloud as a single file, rather than a set of chunks
To support the retrieval of large files which will no longer be chunked, Range requests will allow multiple threads to retrieve sections of a file in parallel.

Removal of support for OpenStack-based storage providers
In order for multi-part upload support to function, one version of cloud-based large file support had to be selected. The S3 API has become the de-facto standard for object storage platforms, allowing for an expanded selection of storage options without the need to also support an additional API.
