Large File Handling

Problem

• Concerns the transfer of large files (> 1GB) 
• Performance is too slow

Proposed Solution

• Currently one file is being processed in one channel.
• Using multiple channels would increase the overall speed of transfer
  • Use of multiple TCP streams to transfer data in parallel
• See also
  • http://monalisa.cern.ch/FDT/documentation_fdt.html implements the use of multiple channels

Resume File Transfer

Problem

• If an error occurs during transfer of a file then this file has to re-transferred completely

Proposed Solution

• Automatically detect and resume the transfer after interruptions (e.g. connection is broken)
  • Detect 
    • JADE knows when a transfer was interrupted and would resume operation with the same parameters
    • Detection is limited for a configurable duration after interrupted file transfers
  • Resume
    • JADE knows the chunks that have been transferred and is capable to continue writing chunks
  • Fail-safe operation
    • JADE detects problems of modified files and inconsistencies and can fallback to re-transfer a file 

Priority of files to be transferred

Problem

• Individual files of a file Group should be tr
