I recently noticed that the cost for ListBucket calls was increasing for an
application that was using Litestream. After investigating it seemed that the
bucket had retained the entire history of data, while Litestream was
continually logging that it was deleting the same data:
```
2022-10-30T12:00:27Z (s3): wal segmented deleted before 0792d3393bf79ced/00000233: n=1428
<snip>
2022-10-30T13:00:24Z (s3): wal segmented deleted before 0792d3393bf79ced/00000233: n=1428
```
This is occuring because the DeleteObjects call is a batch item, that returns
the individual object deletion errors in the response[1]. The S3 replica client
discards the response, and only handles errors in the original API call. I had
a misconfigured IAM policy that meant all deletes were failing, but this never
actually bubbled up as a real error.
To fix this, I added a check for the response body to handle any errors the
operation might have encountered. Because this may include a large number of
errors (in this case 1428 of them), the output is summarized to avoid an overly
large error message. When items are not found, they will not return an error[2]
- they will still be marked as deleted, so this change should be in-line with
the original intentions of this code.

This commit reattempts a change to remove the write lock that was
previously tried in 998e831. This change will reduce the number of
locks on the database which should help reduce error messages that
applications see when they do not have busy_timeout set.
In addition to the lock removal, a passive checkpoint is issued
immediately before the read lock is obtained to prevent additional
checkpoints by the application itself. SQLite does not support
checkpoints from an active transaction so it cannot be done afterward.
This commit adds a `skip-verify` flag to the replica configuration
so that it can be used with self-signed certificates. This is useful
when running a local instance of MinIO with TLS for testing.
This commit adds the ability to specify Linode Object Storage
as replica URLs in the command line and configuration file:
s3://MYBKT.us-east-1.linodeobjects.com/MYPATH
This commit adds the ability to specify DigitalOcean Spaces as
replica URLs in the command line and configuration file:
s3://mybkt.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/mypath
This commit removes short-lived `os.Open()` calls on the database
file because this can cause locks to be released when `os.File.Close()`
is later called if the operating system does not support OFD
(Open File Descriptor) locks.
This commit adds the ability to periodically perform snapshots on
an interval that is separate from retention. For example, this lets
you retain backups for 24 hours but you can snapshot your database
every six hours to improve recovery time.
This commits adds support for non-AWS S3-compatible storage such as
MinIO, Backblaze B2, & Google Cloud Storage (GCS). Other backends
should also work but some code has been added to make URL-based
configurations work more easily.
Previously, there were excessive log messages for checkpoints and
retention. These have been removed or combined into a single log
message where appropriate.
This commit refactors the commands to allow a replica URL when
restoring a database. If the first CLI arg is a URL with a scheme,
the it is treated as a replica URL.
This commit changes `litestream replicate` to accept a database
path and a replica URL instead of using the config file. This allows
people to quickly try out the tool instead of learning the config
file syntax.
