GitHub user github-actions[bot] created a discussion: August 03, 2025: This Week in OpenDAL
*This weekly update is generated by LLMs. You're welcome to join our [Discord](https://opendal.apache.org/discord/) for in-depth discussions.* --- ## Overall Activity Summary The past week has seen robust activity in the `apache/opendal` repository, with significant contributions across new features, bug fixes, and discussions. Key areas of focus include enhancing the `object_store` integration, improving bindings (C++ and Python), and refining the CI pipeline. Discussions around new features and optimizations have also been active, alongside efforts to onboard new contributors. --- ## Key Ongoing Projects - **`object_store` Integration Enhancements**: - #6468 by @codephage2020 implements advanced features like `copy_if_not_exists` and multipart upload options. - #6452 by @codephage2020 adds support for `copy`, `rename`, and metadata return after writing. - Tracking issue #6446 outlines remaining tasks for full `object_store` integration. - **C++ Binding Improvements**: - #6448 by @JackDrogon adopts the Google C++ Style Guide for API naming, improving consistency and usability. - #6445 by @JackDrogon enhances the Metadata API with additional fields and comprehensive tests. - **Prefetch Support for Concurrent Reads**: - #6449 by @Xuanwo introduces a `prefetch` API to improve backpressure handling during concurrent reads. - **CI and Build System Updates**: - #6454 by @kingsword09 enables trust publishing for Rust crates. - #6444 by @tisonkun updates the CI pipeline for Zig bindings. --- ## Priority Items - **Critical Bug Fixes**: - #6441 by @satlank addresses a bug causing runaway task creation during concurrent reads. - #6455 by @honsunrise fixes an issue with unnecessary headers in OSS `get_object` requests. - **Pending Reviews**: - #6460 by @devillove084 aims to make the C++ binding build more robust, currently in draft. - **High-Priority Features**: - Complete the high-priority tasks in #6446, including `copy` and `rename` implementations for `object_store`. --- ## Notable Discussions - **New Committer Announcement**: - #6458: @kingsword09 has been welcomed as a new committer to the project. - **Optimizing C++ Bindings**: - #6035: Discussion led by @deadlinefen on improving the C++ bindings, including support for async features and idiomatic APIs. - **Exploring OpenDAL File System**: - #2952: A discussion on the feasibility of building a file system using OpenDAL, led by @Xuanwo. --- ## Emerging Trends - **Focus on `object_store` Integration**: Significant efforts are being made to align OpenDAL's `object_store` implementation with advanced features like conditional copy and multipart uploads. - **Improved Contributor Recognition**: The community is actively recognizing contributions, as seen in the announcement of a new committer. - **Standardization in Bindings**: The adoption of consistent naming conventions and enhanced APIs in C++ bindings reflects a trend toward improving usability across languages. --- ## Good First Issues - **#5693**: Implement `Write Returns Metadata` for all services. This involves extracting metadata from write responses and is a great way to get familiar with OpenDAL's service architecture. - **#6250**: Enable feature selection for C++ bindings. This task involves allowing users to enable specific features, making it approachable for contributors familiar with C++ build systems. - **#6198**: Publish source and lock files for binaries. This issue is ideal for contributors interested in improving the build and release process. - **#5702**: Refactor services to use the `backend.rs` and `core.rs` convention. A straightforward task to improve code organization and maintainability. - **#5480**: Complete the implementation of RFC-5479: Context. This involves finalizing the context feature, which is foundational to many OpenDAL operations. --- We welcome new contributors to join these efforts and help shape the future of OpenDAL!
