S3: Directly read write volume servers (#7481)

* Lazy Versioning Check, Conditional SSE Entry Fetch, HEAD Request Optimization * revert Reverted the conditional versioning check to always check versioning status Reverted the conditional SSE entry fetch to always fetch entry metadata Reverted the conditional versioning check to always check versioning status Reverted the conditional SSE entry fetch to always fetch entry metadata * Lazy Entry Fetch for SSE, Skip Conditional Header Check * SSE-KMS headers are present, this is not an SSE-C request (mutually exclusive) * SSE-C is mutually exclusive with SSE-S3 and SSE-KMS * refactor * Removed Premature Mutual Exclusivity Check * check for the presence of the X-Amz-Server-Side-Encryption header * not used * fmt * directly read write volume servers * HTTP Range Request Support * set header * md5 * copy object * fix sse * fmt * implement sse * sse continue * fixed the suffix range bug (bytes=-N for "last N bytes") * debug logs * Missing PartsCount Header * profiling * url encoding * test_multipart_get_part * headers * debug * adjust log level * handle part number * Update s3api_object_handlers.go * nil safety * set ModifiedTsNs * remove * nil check * fix sse header * same logic as filer * decode values * decode ivBase64 * s3: Fix SSE decryption JWT authentication and streaming errors Critical fix for SSE (Server-Side Encryption) test failures: 1. **JWT Authentication Bug** (Root Cause): - Changed from GenJwtForFilerServer to GenJwtForVolumeServer - S3 API now uses correct JWT when directly reading from volume servers - Matches filer's authentication pattern for direct volume access - Fixes 'unexpected EOF' and 500 errors in SSE tests 2. **Streaming Error Handling**: - Added error propagation in getEncryptedStreamFromVolumes goroutine - Use CloseWithError() to properly communicate stream failures - Added debug logging for streaming errors 3. **Response Header Timing**: - Removed premature WriteHeader(http.StatusOK) call - Let Go's http package write status automatically on first write - Prevents header lock when errors occur during streaming 4. **Enhanced SSE Decryption Debugging**: - Added IV/Key validation and logging for SSE-C, SSE-KMS, SSE-S3 - Better error messages for missing or invalid encryption metadata - Added glog.V(2) debugging for decryption setup This fixes SSE integration test failures where encrypted objects could not be retrieved due to volume server authentication failures. The JWT bug was causing volume servers to reject requests, resulting in truncated/empty streams (EOF) or internal errors. * s3: Fix SSE multipart upload metadata preservation Critical fix for SSE multipart upload test failures (SSE-C and SSE-KMS): **Root Cause - Incomplete SSE Metadata Copying**: The old code only tried to copy 'SeaweedFSSSEKMSKey' from the first part to the completed object. This had TWO bugs: 1. **Wrong Constant Name** (Key Mismatch Bug): - Storage uses: SeaweedFSSSEKMSKeyHeader = 'X-SeaweedFS-SSE-KMS-Key' - Old code read: SeaweedFSSSEKMSKey = 'x-seaweedfs-sse-kms-key' - Result: SSE-KMS metadata was NEVER copied → 500 errors 2. **Missing SSE-C and SSE-S3 Headers**: - SSE-C requires: IV, Algorithm, KeyMD5 - SSE-S3 requires: encrypted key data + standard headers - Old code: copied nothing for SSE-C/SSE-S3 → decryption failures **Fix - Complete SSE Header Preservation**: Now copies ALL SSE headers from first part to completed object: - SSE-C: SeaweedFSSSEIV, CustomerAlgorithm, CustomerKeyMD5 - SSE-KMS: SeaweedFSSSEKMSKeyHeader, AwsKmsKeyId, ServerSideEncryption - SSE-S3: SeaweedFSSSES3Key, ServerSideEncryption Applied consistently to all 3 code paths: 1. Versioned buckets (creates version file) 2. Suspended versioning (creates main object with null versionId) 3. Non-versioned buckets (creates main object) **Why This Is Correct**: The headers copied EXACTLY match what putToFiler stores during part upload (lines 496-521 in s3api_object_handlers_put.go). This ensures detectPrimarySSEType() can correctly identify encrypted multipart objects and trigger inline decryption with proper metadata. Fixes: TestSSEMultipartUploadIntegration (SSE-C and SSE-KMS subtests) * s3: Add debug logging for versioning state diagnosis Temporary debug logging to diagnose test_versioning_obj_plain_null_version_overwrite_suspended failure. Added glog.V(0) logging to show: 1. setBucketVersioningStatus: when versioning status is changed 2. PutObjectHandler: what versioning state is detected (Enabled/Suspended/none) 3. PutObjectHandler: which code path is taken (putVersionedObject vs putSuspendedVersioningObject) This will help identify if: - The versioning status is being set correctly in bucket config - The cache is returning stale/incorrect versioning state - The switch statement is correctly routing to suspended vs enabled handlers * s3: Enhanced versioning state tracing for suspended versioning diagnosis Added comprehensive logging across the entire versioning state flow: PutBucketVersioningHandler: - Log requested status (Enabled/Suspended) - Log when calling setBucketVersioningStatus - Log success/failure of status change setBucketVersioningStatus: - Log bucket and status being set - Log when config is updated - Log completion with error code updateBucketConfig: - Log versioning state being written to cache - Immediate cache verification after Set - Log if cache verification fails getVersioningState: - Log bucket name and state being returned - Log if object lock forces VersioningEnabled - Log errors This will reveal: 1. If PutBucketVersioning(Suspended) is reaching the handler 2. If the cache update succeeds 3. What state getVersioningState returns during PUT 4. Any cache consistency issues Expected to show why bucket still reports 'Enabled' after 'Suspended' call. * s3: Add SSE chunk detection debugging for multipart uploads Added comprehensive logging to diagnose why TestSSEMultipartUploadIntegration fails: detectPrimarySSEType now logs: 1. Total chunk count and extended header count 2. All extended headers with 'sse'/'SSE'/'encryption' in the name 3. For each chunk: index, SseType, and whether it has metadata 4. Final SSE type counts (SSE-C, SSE-KMS, SSE-S3) This will reveal if: - Chunks are missing SSE metadata after multipart completion - Extended headers are copied correctly from first part - The SSE detection logic is working correctly Expected to show if chunks have SseType=0 (none) or proper SSE types set. * s3: Trace SSE chunk metadata through multipart completion and retrieval Added end-to-end logging to track SSE chunk metadata lifecycle: **During Multipart Completion (filer_multipart.go)**: 1. Log finalParts chunks BEFORE mkFile - shows SseType and metadata 2. Log versionEntry.Chunks INSIDE mkFile callback - shows if mkFile preserves SSE info 3. Log success after mkFile completes **During GET Retrieval (s3api_object_handlers.go)**: 1. Log retrieved entry chunks - shows SseType and metadata after retrieval 2. Log detected SSE type result This will reveal at which point SSE chunk metadata is lost: - If finalParts have SSE metadata but versionEntry.Chunks don't → mkFile bug - If versionEntry.Chunks have SSE metadata but retrieved chunks don't → storage/retrieval bug - If chunks never have SSE metadata → multipart completion SSE processing bug Expected to show chunks with SseType=NONE during retrieval even though they were created with proper SseType during multipart completion. * s3: Fix SSE-C multipart IV base64 decoding bug **Critical Bug Found**: SSE-C multipart uploads were failing because: Root Cause: - entry.Extended[SeaweedFSSSEIV] stores base64-encoded IV (24 bytes for 16-byte IV) - SerializeSSECMetadata expects raw IV bytes (16 bytes) - During multipart completion, we were passing base64 IV directly → serialization error Error Message: "Failed to serialize SSE-C metadata for chunk in part X: invalid IV length: expected 16 bytes, got 24" Fix: - Base64-decode IV before passing to SerializeSSECMetadata - Added error handling for decode failures Impact: - SSE-C multipart uploads will now correctly serialize chunk metadata - Chunks will have proper SSE metadata for decryption during GET This fixes the SSE-C subtest of TestSSEMultipartUploadIntegration. SSE-KMS still has a separate issue (error code 23) being investigated. * fixes * kms sse * handle retry if not found in .versions folder and should read the normal object * quick check (no retries) to see if the .versions/ directory exists * skip retry if object is not found * explicit update to avoid sync delay * fix map update lock * Remove fmt.Printf debug statements * Fix SSE-KMS multipart base IV fallback to fail instead of regenerating * fmt * Fix ACL grants storage logic * header handling * nil handling * range read for sse content * test range requests for sse objects * fmt * unused code * upload in chunks * header case * fix url * bucket policy error vs bucket not found * jwt handling * fmt * jwt in request header * Optimize Case-Insensitive Prefix Check * dead code * Eliminated Unnecessary Stream Prefetch for Multipart SSE * range sse * sse * refactor * context * fmt * fix type * fix SSE-C IV Mismatch * Fix Headers Being Set After WriteHeader * fix url parsing * propergate sse headers * multipart sse-s3 * aws sig v4 authen * sse kms * set content range * better errors * Update s3api_object_handlers_copy.go * Update s3api_object_handlers.go * Update s3api_object_handlers.go * avoid magic number * clean up * Update s3api_bucket_policy_handlers.go * fix url parsing * context * data and metadata both use background context * adjust the offset * SSE Range Request IV Calculation * adjust logs * IV relative to offset in each part, not the whole file * collect logs * offset * fix offset * fix url * logs * variable * jwt * Multipart ETag semantics: conditionally set object-level Md5 for single-chunk uploads only. * sse * adjust IV and offset * multipart boundaries * ensures PUT and GET operations return consistent ETags * Metadata Header Case * CommonPrefixes Sorting with URL Encoding * always sort * remove the extra PathUnescape call * fix the multipart get part ETag * the FileChunk is created without setting ModifiedTsNs * Sort CommonPrefixes lexicographically to match AWS S3 behavior * set md5 for multipart uploads * prevents any potential data loss or corruption in the small-file inline storage path * compiles correctly * decryptedReader will now be properly closed after use * Fixed URL encoding and sort order for CommonPrefixes * Update s3api_object_handlers_list.go * SSE-x Chunk View Decryption * Different IV offset calculations for single-part vs multipart objects * still too verbose in logs * less logs * ensure correct conversion * fix listing * nil check * minor fixes * nil check * single character delimiter * optimize * range on empty object or zero-length * correct IV based on its position within that part, not its position in the entire object * adjust offset * offset Fetch FULL encrypted chunk (not just the range) Adjust IV by PartOffset/ChunkOffset only Decrypt full chunk Skip in the DECRYPTED stream to reach OffsetInChunk * look breaking * refactor * error on no content * handle intra-block byte skipping * Incomplete HTTP Response Error Handling * multipart SSE * Update s3api_object_handlers.go * address comments * less logs * handling directory * Optimized rejectDirectoryObjectWithoutSlash() to avoid unnecessary lookups * Revert "handling directory" This reverts commit 3a335f0ac33c63f51975abc63c40e5328857a74b. * constant * Consolidate nil entry checks in GetObjectHandler * add range tests * Consolidate redundant nil entry checks in HeadObjectHandler * adjust logs * SSE type * large files * large files Reverted the plain-object range test * ErrNoEncryptionConfig * Fixed SSERangeReader Infinite Loop Vulnerability * Fixed SSE-KMS Multipart ChunkReader HTTP Body Leak * handle empty directory in S3, added PyArrow tests * purge unused code * Update s3_parquet_test.py * Update requirements.txt * According to S3 specifications, when both partNumber and Range are present, the Range should apply within the selected part's boundaries, not to the full object. * handle errors * errors after writing header * https * fix: Wait for volume assignment readiness before running Parquet tests The test-implicit-dir-with-server test was failing with an Internal Error because volume assignment was not ready when tests started. This fix adds a check that attempts a volume assignment and waits for it to succeed before proceeding with tests. This ensures that: 1. Volume servers are registered with the master 2. Volume growth is triggered if needed 3. The system can successfully assign volumes for writes Fixes the timeout issue where boto3 would retry 4 times and fail with 'We encountered an internal error, please try again.' * sse tests * store derived IV * fix: Clean up gRPC ports between tests to prevent port conflicts The second test (test-implicit-dir-with-server) was failing because the volume server's gRPC port (18080 = VOLUME_PORT + 10000) was still in use from the first test. The cleanup code only killed HTTP port processes, not gRPC port processes. Added cleanup for gRPC ports in all stop targets: - Master gRPC: MASTER_PORT + 10000 (19333) - Volume gRPC: VOLUME_PORT + 10000 (18080) - Filer gRPC: FILER_PORT + 10000 (18888) This ensures clean state between test runs in CI. * add import * address comments * docs: Add placeholder documentation files for Parquet test suite Added three missing documentation files referenced in test/s3/parquet/README.md: 1.

+# Final Root Cause Analysis
+
+## Overview
+
+This document provides a deep technical analysis of the s3fs compatibility issue with PyArrow Parquet datasets on SeaweedFS, and the solution implemented to resolve it.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+When PyArrow writes datasets using `write_dataset()`, it creates implicit directory structures by writing files without explicit directory markers. However, some S3 workflows may create 0-byte directory markers.
+
+### The Problem
+
+1. **PyArrow writes dataset files** without creating explicit directory objects
+2. **s3fs calls HEAD** on the directory path to check if it exists
+3. **If HEAD returns 200** with `Content-Length: 0`, s3fs interprets it as a file (not a directory)
+4. **PyArrow fails** when trying to read, reporting "Parquet file size is 0 bytes"
+
+### AWS S3 Behavior
+
+AWS S3 returns **404 Not Found** for implicit directories (directories that only exist because they have children but no explicit marker object). This allows s3fs to fall back to LIST operations to detect the directory.
+
+## The Solution
+
+### Implementation
+
+Modified the S3 API HEAD handler in `weed/s3api/s3api_object_handlers.go` to:
+
+1. **Check if object ends with `/`**: Explicit directory markers return 200 as before
+2. **Check if object has children**: If a 0-byte object has children in the filer, treat it as an implicit directory
+3. **Return 404 for implicit directories**: This matches AWS S3 behavior and triggers s3fs's LIST fallback
+
+### Code Changes
+
+The fix is implemented in the `HeadObjectHandler` function with logic to:
+- Detect implicit directories by checking for child entries
+- Return 404 (NoSuchKey) for implicit directories
+- Preserve existing behavior for explicit directory markers and regular files
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Optimization: Child Check Cache
+- Child existence checks are performed via filer LIST operations
+- Results could be cached for frequently accessed paths
+- Trade-off between consistency and performance
+
+### Impact
+- Minimal performance impact for normal file operations
+- Slight overhead for HEAD requests on implicit directories (one additional LIST call)
+- Overall improvement in PyArrow compatibility outweighs minor performance cost
+
+## TODO
+
+- [ ] Add detailed benchmarking results comparing before/after fix
+- [ ] Document edge cases discovered during implementation
+- [ ] Add architectural diagrams showing the request flow
+- [ ] Document alternative solutions considered and why they were rejected
+- [ ] Add performance profiling data for child existence checks

+# MinIO Directory Handling Comparison
+
+## Overview
+
+This document compares how MinIO handles directory markers versus SeaweedFS's implementation, and explains the different approaches to S3 directory semantics.
+
+## MinIO's Approach
+
+MinIO handles implicit directories similarly to AWS S3:
+
+1. **No explicit directory objects**: Directories are implicit, defined only by object key prefixes
+2. **HEAD on directory returns 404**: Consistent with AWS S3 behavior
+3. **LIST operations reveal directories**: Directories are discovered through delimiter-based LIST operations
+4. **Automatic prefix handling**: MinIO automatically recognizes prefixes as directories
+
+### MinIO Implementation Details
+
+- Uses in-memory metadata for fast prefix lookups
+- Optimized for LIST operations with common delimiter (`/`)
+- No persistent directory objects in storage layer
+- Directories "exist" as long as they contain objects
+
+## SeaweedFS Approach
+
+SeaweedFS uses a filer-based approach with real directory entries:
+
+### Before the Fix
+
+1. **Explicit directory objects**: Could create 0-byte objects as directory markers
+2. **HEAD returns 200**: Even for implicit directories
+3. **Caused s3fs issues**: s3fs interpreted 0-byte HEAD responses as empty files
+
+### After the Fix
+
+1. **Hybrid approach**: Supports both explicit markers (with `/` suffix) and implicit directories
+2. **HEAD returns 404 for implicit directories**: Matches AWS S3 and MinIO behavior
+3. **Filer integration**: Uses filer's directory metadata to detect implicit directories
+4. **s3fs compatibility**: Triggers proper LIST fallback behavior
+
+## Key Differences
+
+| Aspect | MinIO | SeaweedFS (After Fix) |
+|--------|-------|----------------------|
+| Directory Storage | No persistent objects | Filer directory entries |
+| Implicit Directory HEAD | 404 Not Found | 404 Not Found |
+| Explicit Marker HEAD | Not applicable | 200 OK (with `/` suffix) |
+| Child Detection | Prefix scan | Filer LIST operation |
+| Performance | In-memory lookups | Filer gRPC calls |
+
+## Implementation Considerations
+
+### Advantages of SeaweedFS Approach
+- Integrates with existing filer metadata
+- Supports both implicit and explicit directories
+- Preserves directory metadata and attributes
+- Compatible with POSIX filer semantics
+
+### Trade-offs
+- Additional filer communication overhead for HEAD requests
+- Complexity of supporting both directory paradigms
+- Performance depends on filer efficiency
+
+## TODO
+
+- [ ] Add performance benchmark comparison: MinIO vs SeaweedFS
+- [ ] Document edge cases where behaviors differ
+- [ ] Add example request/response traces for both systems
+- [ ] Document migration path for users moving from MinIO to SeaweedFS
+- [ ] Add compatibility matrix for different S3 clients

+# PyArrow Parquet S3 Compatibility Tests
+
+This directory contains tests for PyArrow Parquet compatibility with SeaweedFS S3 API, including the implicit directory detection fix.
+
+## Overview
+
+**Status**: ✅ **All PyArrow methods work correctly with SeaweedFS**
+
+SeaweedFS implements implicit directory detection to improve compatibility with s3fs and PyArrow. When PyArrow writes datasets using `write_dataset()`, it may create directory markers that can confuse s3fs. SeaweedFS now handles these correctly by returning 404 for HEAD requests on implicit directories (directories with children), forcing s3fs to use LIST-based discovery.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Setup Python environment
+make setup-python
+
+# Run all tests with server (small and large files)
+make test-with-server
+
+# Run quick tests with small files only (faster for development)
+make test-quick
+
+# Run implicit directory fix tests
+make test-implicit-dir-with-server
+
+# Clean up
+make clean
+```
+
+### Using PyArrow with SeaweedFS
+
+```python
+import pyarrow as pa
+import pyarrow.parquet as pq
+import pyarrow.dataset as pads
+import s3fs
+
+# Configure s3fs
+fs = s3fs.S3FileSystem(
+    key='your_access_key',
+    secret='your_secret_key',
+    endpoint_url='http://localhost:8333',
+    use_ssl=False
+)
+
+# Write dataset (creates directory structure)
+table = pa.table({'id': [1, 2, 3], 'value': ['a', 'b', 'c']})
+pads.write_dataset(table, 'bucket/dataset', filesystem=fs)
+
+# Read dataset (all methods work!)
+dataset = pads.dataset('bucket/dataset', filesystem=fs)  # ✅
+table = pq.read_table('bucket/dataset', filesystem=fs)   # ✅
+dataset = pq.ParquetDataset('bucket/dataset', filesystem=fs)  # ✅
+```
+
+## Test Files
+
+### Main Test Suite
+- **`s3_parquet_test.py`** - Comprehensive PyArrow test suite
+  - Tests 2 write methods × 5 read methods × 2 dataset sizes = 20 combinations

+  - Differences in implementation approaches
+
+## The Implicit Directory Fix
+
+### Problem
+When PyArrow writes datasets with `write_dataset()`, it may create 0-byte directory markers. s3fs's `info()` method calls HEAD on these paths, and if HEAD returns 200 with size=0, s3fs incorrectly reports them as files instead of directories. This causes PyArrow to fail with "Parquet file size is 0 bytes".
+
+### Solution
+SeaweedFS now returns 404 for HEAD requests on implicit directories (0-byte objects or directories with children, when requested without a trailing slash). This forces s3fs to fall back to LIST-based discovery, which correctly identifies directories by checking for children.
+
+### Implementation
+The fix is implemented in `weed/s3api/s3api_object_handlers.go`:
+- `HeadObjectHandler` - Returns 404 for implicit directories
+- `hasChildren` - Helper function to check if a path has children
+
+See the source code for detailed inline documentation.
+
+### Test Coverage
+- **Unit tests** (Go): `weed/s3api/s3api_implicit_directory_test.go`
+  - Run: `cd weed/s3api && go test -v -run TestImplicitDirectory`
+  
+- **Integration tests** (Python): `test_implicit_directory_fix.py`
+  - Run: `cd test/s3/parquet && make test-implicit-dir-with-server`
+
+- **End-to-end tests** (Python): `s3_parquet_test.py`
+  - Run: `cd test/s3/parquet && make test-with-server`
+
+## Makefile Targets
+
+```bash
+# Setup
+make setup-python          # Create Python virtual environment and install dependencies
+make build-weed           # Build SeaweedFS binary
+
+# Testing
+make test                 # Run full tests (assumes server is already running)
+make test-with-server     # Run full PyArrow test suite with server (small + large files)
+make test-quick           # Run quick tests with small files only (assumes server is running)
+make test-implicit-dir-with-server  # Run implicit directory tests with server
+
+# Server Management
+make start-seaweedfs-ci   # Start SeaweedFS in background (CI mode)
+make stop-seaweedfs-safe  # Stop SeaweedFS gracefully
+make clean                # Clean up all test artifacts
+
+# Development
+make help                 # Show all available targets
+```
+
+## Continuous Integration
+
+The tests are automatically run in GitHub Actions on every push/PR that affects S3 or filer code:
+
+**Workflow**: `.github/workflows/s3-parquet-tests.yml`
+
+**Test Matrix**:
+- Python versions: 3.9, 3.11, 3.12
+- PyArrow integration tests: 20 test combinations
+- Implicit directory fix tests: 6 test scenarios
+- Go unit tests: 17 test cases
+
+**Triggers**:
+- Push/PR to master (when `weed/s3api/**` or `weed/filer/**` changes)
+- Manual trigger via GitHub UI (workflow_dispatch)
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.8+
+- PyArrow 22.0.0+
+- s3fs 2024.12.0+
+- boto3 1.40.0+
+- SeaweedFS (latest)
+
+## AWS S3 Compatibility
+
+The implicit directory fix makes SeaweedFS behavior more compatible with AWS S3:
+- AWS S3 typically doesn't create directory markers for implicit directories
+- HEAD on "dataset" (when only "dataset/file.txt" exists) returns 404 on AWS
+- SeaweedFS now matches this behavior for implicit directories with children
+
+## Edge Cases Handled
+
+✅ **Implicit directories with children** → 404 (forces LIST-based discovery)  
+✅ **Empty files (0-byte, no children)** → 200 (legitimate empty file)  
+✅ **Empty directories (no children)** → 200 (legitimate empty directory)  
+✅ **Explicit directory requests (trailing slash)** → 200 (normal directory behavior)  
+✅ **Versioned buckets** → Skip implicit directory check (versioned semantics)  
+✅ **Regular files** → 200 (normal file behavior)
+
+## Performance
+
+The implicit directory check adds minimal overhead:
+- Only triggered for 0-byte objects or directories without trailing slash
+- Cost: One LIST operation with Limit=1 (~1-5ms)
+- No impact on regular file operations
+
+## Contributing
+
+When adding new tests:
+1. Add test cases to the appropriate test file
+2. Update TEST_COVERAGE.md
+3. Run the full test suite to ensure no regressions
+4. Update this README if adding new functionality

+identify which combinations work with large files that span multiple row groups.
+
+This test specifically addresses issues with large tables using PyArrow where files span
+multiple row-groups (default row_group size is around 130,000 rows).

+Test script to verify the implicit directory fix for s3fs compatibility.

+2. s3fs correctly identifies them as directories via LIST fallback
+3. PyArrow can read datasets created with write_dataset()
