carbites

Chunking for CAR files. Split a single CAR into multiple CARs.

Original implementation in go-carbites.

Usage

Carbites supports treewalk strategy:

Treewalk - walks the DAG to pack sub-graphs into each CAR file that is output. Every CAR file has the same root CID but contains a different portion of the DAG. The DAG is traversed from the root node and each block is decoded and links extracted in order to determine which sub-graph to include in each CAR.

use carbites::{new_splitter, CarSplitter, Strategy};
use std::io::Write;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let file = std::fs::File::open("examples/test.car")?;
    let mut splitter = new_splitter(Strategy::Treewalk, file, 1024);

    let mut i = 0;
    while let Some(chunk) = splitter.next_chunk()? {
        let mut file = std::fs::File::create(format!("target/chunk-{}.car", i))?;
        file.write(&chunk)?;
        i += 1;
    }

    Ok(())
}

Todo

• Add support for simple strategy (see below)

Simple - fast but naive, only the first CAR output has a root CID, subsequent CARs have a placeholder "empty" CID. The first CAR output has roots in the header, subsequent CARs have an empty root CID bafkqaaa as recommended.
