### A multi-file, zipped download optimization | ||
|
||
In this release we are offering an experimental optimization for the | ||
multi-file, download-as-zip functionality. If this option is enabled, | ||
instead of enforcing size limits, we attempt to serve all the files | ||
that the user requested (that they are authorized to download), but | ||
the request is redirected to a standalone zipper service running as a | ||
cgi executable. Thus moving these potentially long-running jobs | ||
completely outside the Application Server (Payara); and preventing | ||
service threads from becoming locked serving them. Since zipping is | ||
also a CPU-intensive task, it is possible to have this service running | ||
on a different host system, thus freeing the cycles on the main | ||
Application Server. (The system running the service needs to have | ||
access to the database as well as to the storage filesystem, and/or S3 | ||
bucket). | ||
|
||
Please consult the scripts/zipdownload/README.md in the Dataverse 5 | ||
source tree. | ||
|
||
The components of the standalone "zipper tool" can also be downloaded | ||
here: | ||
(my plan is to build the executable and to add it to the v5 | ||
release files on github: - L.A.) | ||
