Summary of Changes

Hello @krishnamd-jkp, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces default checksumming capabilities for gRPC appendable writers, enhancing data integrity during object writes. It also includes important documentation regarding the performance implications of automatic checksum computation and provides a mechanism to disable it. A temporary measure has been implemented to disable checksums for "takeover" writers, with a clear indication for future development.

Highlights

  • Checksumming for Appendable Writers: Implemented default checksum calculation and sending for gRPC appendable writers, addressing a previous TODO to enhance data integrity.
  • Performance Documentation: Added a note to the storage/doc.go documentation warning about potential CPU overhead from gRPC client's default auto checksumming and how users can disable it.
  • Takeover Writer Handling: Introduced a takeoverWriter flag to explicitly disable checksums for 'takeover' appendable writers, with a TODO indicating future work to enable validation for this specific scenario.
  • Checksum Logic Refactoring: Refactored the gRPCAppendBidiWriteBufferSender to use functional getters for checksum settings (checksumSettings and fullObjectChecksum), improving modularity and flexibility in how checksums are determined and applied.

Code Review

This pull request adds support for default checksumming for appendable writers in the gRPC client. It introduces logic to calculate and send checksums for chunks and for the full object, while also providing an option to disable this for performance reasons. A temporary flag is added to disable checksums for takeover writers, with a TODO to implement it later. The changes are well-documented and tested.

My review includes a suggestion to refactor how checksum settings are passed to the gRPCAppendBidiWriteBufferSender. Instead of using a function that is called on every send, I recommend storing the immutable settings as direct fields on the struct for better clarity and minor performance improvement.

finishWrite bool
// checksumAttrs contains all parameters required from writer in senders.
// helps avoid piping in writer to the individual senders.
type checksumAttrs struct {

thought: If we are adding a significant amount of code related to checksums, it might make sense to move it to a different file now, rather than later when it would become even more complex.

I think with the refactor, the checksum related stuff boils down to 2 structs and a function. I feel it's okay to keep this in the same file
