// S3Store is a storage backend used as a tusd.DataStore in tusd.NewHandler.
// It stores the uploads in a directory specified in two different files: The
// `[id].info` files are used to store the fileinfo in JSON format. The
// `[id].bin` files contain the raw binary data uploaded.
// No cleanup is performed so you may want to run a cronjob to ensure your disk
// is not filled up with old and finished uploads.
// Package s3store provides a storage backend using AWS S3 or compatible servers.
//
// Configuration
//
// In order to allow this backend to function properly, the user accessing the
// bucket must have at least following AWS IAM policy permissions for the
// bucket and all of its subresources:
// s3:AbortMultipartUpload
// s3:DeleteObject
// s3:GetObject
// s3:ListMultipartUploadParts
// s3:PutObject
//
// While this package uses the official AWS SDK for Go, S3Store is able
// to work with any S3-compatible service such as Riak CS. In order to change
// the HTTP endpoint used for sending requests to, consult the AWS Go SDK
// (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/aws/Config.html#WithEndpoint-instance_method).
//
// Implementation
//
// Once a new tus upload is initiated, multiple objects in S3 are created:
//
// First of all, a new info object is stored which contains a JSON-encoded blob
// of general information about the upload including its size and meta data.
// This kind of objects have the suffix ".info" in their key.
//
// In addition a new multipart upload
// (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/uploadobjusingmpu.html) is
// created. Whenever a new chunk is uploaded to tusd using a PATCH request, a
// new part is pushed to the multipart upload on S3.
//
// Once the upload is finish, the multipart upload is completed, resulting in
// the entire file being stored in the bucket. The info object, containing
// meta data is not deleted. It is recommended to copy the finished upload to
// another bucket to avoid it being deleted by the Termination extension.
//
// If an upload is about to being terminated, the multipart upload is aborted
// which removes all of the uploaded parts from the bucket. In addition, the
// info object is also deleted. If the upload has been finished already, the
// finished object containing the entire upload is also removed.
//
// Considerations
//
// In order to support tus' principle of resumable upload, S3's Multipart-Uploads
// are internally used.
// For each incoming PATCH request (a call to WriteChunk), a new part is uploaded
// to S3. However, each part of a multipart upload, except the last one, must
// be 5MB or bigger. This introduces a problem, since in tus' perspective
// it's totally fine to upload just a few kilobytes in a single request.
//
// Therefore, a few special condition have been implemented:
//
// Each PATCH request must contain a body of, at least, 5MB. If the size
// is smaller than this limit, the entire request will be dropped and not
// even passed to the storage server. If your server supports a different
// limit, you can adjust this value using S3Store.MinPartSize.
//
// When receiving a PATCH request, its body will be temporarily stored on disk.
// This requirement has been made to ensure the minimum size of a single part
// and to allow the calculating of a checksum. Once the part has been uploaded
// to S3, the temporary file will be removed immediately. Therefore, please
// ensure that the server running this storage backend has enough disk space
// available to hold these caches.
//
// In addition, it must be mentioned that AWS S3 only offeres eventual
// consistency (https://aws.amazon.com/s3/faqs/#What_data_consistency_model_does_Amazon_S3_employ).
// Therefore, it is required to build additional measurements in order to
// prevent concurrent access to the same upload resources which may result in
// data corruption. See tusd.LockerDataStore for more information.
