Creating and deleting objects

This page shows you how to create and delete objects from Acacia.

What is an object?

Objects are the individual pieces of data that are contained in a bucket. An object is typically a file and any metadata that describes the file. 

...

Since objects are both file and metadata, for the sake of the performance of the storage system, it is recommended that no more than 100K objects are contained per bucket. There is a system limit of 1M objects per bucket.

Object names 

You can use any UTF-8 character in an object name. However, using certain characters can cause problems with some applications and protocols. The following character sets are generally safe for use in object names.

...

  • <SOURCE> is the filesystem path that contains the files to upload as objects. For a single file,it can contain the name of the file you want to upload.
  • <TARGET>  is the key of the object on Acacia (equivalent to the destination path). So the key consists of the profile name (with its colon, :), bucket name, pseudo folder (optional). IMPORTANT: In the target, you can't specify the object name. if If the object name is writtenwas given, then it will would be considered as another pseudo folder, but the last part containing the name of the object will be the same as in the source.

Example:

Code Block
$ rclone copy galaxy_xlassification.ipynb courses01:cou01/
