   IMO, it's OK to have a random access for Tar - even through it would be slower as we read the `tar archive` to get the positions of entries. But I think we should hear more voice from others about this idea, cause this is a big change and `tar archives` are not designed to have a random access.
   
    @theobisproject And as you said, there are still some work(e.g. the refactor of the duplication) to do.
