AWS S3: Uploading large file fails with ResetException: Failed to reset the request input stream

Question

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the following code such that a large file upload (>10GB) always fails with ResetException: Failed to reset the request input stream?

The failure always happens after a while (i.e. after around 15 minutes), which must mean that the upload process is executing only to fail somewhere in the middle.

Here's what I've tried to debug the problem:

1. in.marksSupported() == false // checking if mark is supported on my FileInputStream

   I highly suspect that this is the problem, since the S3 SDK seems to want to do a reset operation at some point during the upload, probably if the connection is lost or if the transfer process encounters some error.

2. Wrapping my FileInputStream within a BufferedInputStream to enable marking. Now calling in.marksSupported() returns true, meaning that mark support is there. Strangely, the upload process still fails with the same kind of error.

3. Adding putRequest.getRequestClientOptions.setReadLimit(n), where n=100000 (100kb), and 800000000 (800mb) but it still throws the same error. I suspect because this parameter is used to reset the stream, which, as stated above, isn't supported on a FileInputStream

Interestingly, the same problem doesn't happen on my AWS development account. I assume that is just because the dev account is not under a heavy load as my production account, meaning that the upload process can execute as smoothly as possible without any failure at all.

Please have a look at my code below:

object S3TransferExample {
// in main class
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    ...
    val file = new File("/mnt/10gbfile.zip")
    val in = new FileInputStream(file)
    // val in = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file)) --> tried wrapping file inputstream in a buffered input stream, but it didn't help..
    upload("mybucket", "mykey", in, file.length, "application/zip").waitForUploadResult
    ...
}

val awsCred = new BasicAWSCredentials("access_key", "secret_key")
val s3Client = new AmazonS3Client(awsCred)
val tx = new TransferManager(s3Client)

def upload(bucketName: String,  keyName: String,  inputStream: InputStream,  contentLength: Long,  contentType: String,  serverSideEncryption: Boolean = true,  storageClass: StorageClass = StorageClass.ReducedRedundancy ):Upload = {
  val metaData = new ObjectMetadata
  metaData.setContentType(contentType)
  metaData.setContentLength(contentLength)

  if(serverSideEncryption) {
    metaData.setSSEAlgorithm(ObjectMetadata.AES_256_SERVER_SIDE_ENCRYPTION)
  }

  val putRequest = new PutObjectRequest(bucketName, keyName, inputStream, metaData)
  putRequest.setStorageClass(storageClass)
  putRequest.getRequestClientOptions.setReadLimit(100000)

  tx.upload(putRequest)
 
}
}

Here is the complete stack trace:

Answer 1

I'v investigated this issue, it was a long story.

The conclusion is: pass a system property to java by insert following options to java command line

-Dcom.amazonaws.sdk.s3.defaultStreamBufferSize=YOUR_MAX_PUT_SIZE

See https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java/blob/master/aws-java-sdk-s3/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/services/s3/AmazonS3Client.java#L1668

This tells AmazonS3Client to set appropriate max size of unwindable buffer which will be used to re-read for retry.

Answer 2

This definitely looks like a bug, which I have reported. The solution is to use the other constructor which accepts a File instead of InputStream

def upload(bucketName: String,  keyName: String,  file: File,  contentLength: Long,  contentType: String,  serverSideEncryption: Boolean = true,  storageClass: StorageClass = StorageClass.ReducedRedundancy ):Upload = {
  val metaData = new ObjectMetadata
  metaData.setContentType(contentType)
  metaData.setContentLength(contentLength)

  if(serverSideEncryption) {
    metaData.setSSEAlgorithm(ObjectMetadata.AES_256_SERVER_SIDE_ENCRYPTION)
  }

  val putRequest = new PutObjectRequest(bucketName, keyName, file)
  putRequest.setStorageClass(storageClass)
  putRequest.getRequestClientOptions.setReadLimit(100000)
  putRequest.setMetadata(metaData)
  tx.upload(putRequest)

}
}

Answer 3

S3 doesn't support a PUT request that large.

The largest object that can be uploaded in a single PUT is 5 gigabytes.

http://aws.amazon.com/s3/faqs

Beyond that, you have to use the multipart upload API, which allows each part to be 5GB and the maximum object size to be 5TB. You'd be well-served to use multipart for files smaller than 5GB, too, since multipart supports parallel uploading of the parts.
