> Hi.
> I'm using jclouds 1.8.1 together with the Apache HttpClient module to upload files to S3. During tests, I encountered that upload performance is quite poor in comparison to jets3t or windows tools like Cloudberry S3 Explorer.
> Sending a 10MB binary file on a cable connection (100mbit down/5mbit up), to an EU bucket (https, default endpoints), from a Windows 7 machine (JDK 1.7.0_55, 64bit) gives the following results:
> jclouds: ~55 secs
> Amazon Java SDK: ~55 secs.
> jets3t: ~18 secs
> S3 Explorer: ~18 secs
> Using a faster connection upload time increased up to 200 seconds with jclouds/Amazon SDK. The rest kept the same around 18 secs.
> So I wondered, where this difference comes from. I started digging into the source code of jclouds, jets3t, httpclient and took a look at the network packages which are send.
> Long story short: too small buffer sizes!
> Jclouds uses for the payload the "default" HttpEntities which HttpClient provides. Such as FileEntity and InputStreamEntity. These are using an output buffer size of hardcoded 4096 bytes.
> This seems no problem, when the available upload bandwidth is quite small, but slows down the connection on bigger bandwidth - as it seems.
> For testing I simply created my own HttpClient module, based on the shipped ones and made a simple change that adds a 128k buffer to the to-be-send entity. The result is, that upload performance is now up to the other guys like jets3t and S3 Explorer.
> Please find attached a small maven project that can be used demonstrate the difference.
> To be honest, I'm not too deep into the jclouds code to provide a proper patch, but my suggestion would be to provide an own (jclouds) implementation of File- and InputStreamEntity that provide proper output buffer sizes. Maybe with an option to overwrite them by configuration.
> I also tried the HttpClient "http.socket.buffer-size", but that hadn't any effect. Also the 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT version shows no difference.
> What do you guys think? Is this a known problem? Or are there other settings to increase the upload performance?
> BTW: The same problem exists with the default JavaUrlHttpCommandExecutorServiceModule which also
> uses a 4k buffer. Also tried the OkHttp driver with the same results (1.8.1, 2.0.0-SNAPHOT failed with an exception).
> Thanks!
> Veit
