`
`Multipart Uploads:
`
`S3 performs multipart uploads through the generation and use of a an “ETag”, which is a MD5
`hash (becauseit is a PUT operation,it is a MD5 hash, see “common response headers” graphic
`above,) of the data-part, which is required for a later request to complete the multipart upload
`and for Amazon S3 to concatenate the parts together to form a single object.
`And once combined, Amazon S3
`[http://awsdocs.s3.amazonaws.com/S3/latest/s3-dg.pdf].
`responds with an ETag that uniquely identifies the combined data.
`[http://awsdocs.s3.amazonaws.com/S3/latest/s3-dg.pdf].
`
`Multipart uploading is a three-step process: Youinitiate the upload, you upload the object parts, and after
`you have uploaded all the parts, you complete the multipart upload. Upon receiving the complete multipart
`upload request, Amazon S3 constructs the object from the uploaded parts, and you can then access the
`just as you would any other object in your bucket.

`
`Parts Upload
`When uploading a part,
`in addition to the upload ID, you must specify a part number. You can choose
`any part number between 1 and 10,000. A part number uniquely identifies a part and its position in the
`object you are uploading. If you upload a new part using the same part numberas a previously
`uploaded
`the previously uploaded part is overwritten. Whenever you upload a part, Amazon S3 returns an
`ETag headerin its response. For each part upload, you must record the part number and the ETag value.
`You needto include these values in the subsequent request to complete the multipart upload.
`
`part,
`
`(http://awsdocs.s3.amazonaws.com/S3/latest/s3-dg.pdf)
`
`Multipart Upload Completion (or Abort)
`
`When you complete a multipart upload, Amazon S3 creates an object by concatenating parts in ascending
`order based on the part number. If any object metadata was providedin the initiate multipart upload
`request, Amazon S3 associates that metadata with the object. After a successful complete request,
`parts no longer exist. Your complete multipart upload request must include the upload ID and a list of
`both part numbers and corresponding ETag values. Amazon S3 response includes an ETag that uniquely
`identifies the combined object data. This ETag will not necessarily be an MD5 hash of the object data.
`You can optionally abort the multipart upload. After aborting a multipart upload, you cannot upload any
`part using that upload ID again. All storage that any parts from the aborted multipart upload consumed
`is then freed. If any part uploads were in-progress, they can still succeed orfail even after you aborted.
`To free all storage consumedbyall parts, you must abort a multipart upload only after all part uploads
`have completed.

`
`Complete Multipart Upload
`
`Description
`
`This operation completes a multipart upload by assembling previously uploaded parts.
`You first initiate the multipart upload and then uploadall parts using the Upload Parts operation (see
`Upload Part (p. 171)). After successfully uploading all relevant parts of an upload, you call this operation
`to complete the upload. Upon receiving this request, Amazon S3 concatenates all the parts in ascending
`order by part numberto create a new object.
`In the Complete Multipart Upload request, you must provide
`the parts list. You must ensure the parts list is complete,
`this operation concatenates the parts you provide
`in the list. For each part in the list, you must provide the part number and the ETaq header value,
`returned
`after that part was uploaded.
`
`Processing of a Complete Multipart Upload request could take Several minutes to complete. After Amazon
`it sends an HTTP response header that specifies a 200 OK response.
`S3 begins processing the request,
`While processing is in progress, Amazon S3 periodically sends whitespace characters to keep the
`from timing out. Because a request could fail after the initial 200 OK response has been sent,
`connection
`it is important that you check the response body to determine whether the request succeeded.

`PUT Object - Copy
`Description
`This implementation of the PUT operation creates a copy of an object that is already stored in Amazon S3.
`A PUT copy operation is the same as performing a GET and then a PUT. Adding the request header,
`x-amz-copy-source, makes the PUT operation copy the source object into the destination bucket.
`
`we
`
`Note
`
`You can store individual objects of up to 5 TB in Amazon S3. You create a copy of your object
`up to 5 GB in size in a single atomic operation using this API. However,
`for copying an object
`greater than 5 GB, you must use the multipart upload API. For conceptual
`information on multipart
`upload, go to Uploading Objects Using Multipart Upload in the Amazon S3 Developer Guide.
