Before, server-side deletes of static large objects could take a long
time to complete since the proxy would wait for a response to each
segment DELETE before starting the next DELETE request.
Now, operators can configure a concurrency factor for the slo and bulk
middlewares to allow up to N concurrent DELETE requests. By default, two
DELETE requests will be allowed at a time.
Note that objects and containers are now deleted in separate passes, to
reduce the likelihood of 409 Conflict responses when deleting
containers.
Upgrade Consideration
=====================
If operators have enabled the bulk or slo middlewares and would like to
preserve the prior (single-threaded) DELETE behavior, they must add the
following line to their [filter:slo] and [filter:bulk] proxy config
sections:
delete_concurrency = 1
This may be done prior to upgrading Swift.
