What this PR does

  • Replaces multipart per-part temporary files and serial assembly with direct WriteAt calls to non-overlapping offsets in one preallocated object-level temporary file.
  • Uses a fixed 1 MiB coalescing buffer to avoid small disk writes.
  • Adds a Pod-wide write concurrency limit to control NVMe pressure.
  • Publishes the file through atomic rename only after all parts complete successfully.

Why we need it

The previous multipart path wrote model data twice: first to /tmp part files, then into the assembled model file. It also caused part workers to wait behind a single assembler.

Testing showed that direct writes:

  • Reduced physical writes from approximately 2× to 1× model size.
  • Removed multipart /tmp usage and assembler backpressure.
  • Reduced single-model Bulk download time by 21.8–30.2%.
  • Reduced two-model Bulk makespan by 43.2%.

How to test

go test ./pkg/ociobjectstore ./pkg/modelagent ./cmd/model-agent
go test -race ./pkg/ociobjectstore
helm template ome-resources charts/ome-resources --set modelAgent.enabled=true

Checklist

  • Tests added/updated

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The model-agent adds configurable write concurrency for OCI model downloads. Multipart downloads now write parts directly into one preallocated temporary file at separate offsets, with bounded writes, cancellation handling, retries, and expanded tests.

Changes

Model-file download concurrency

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration propagation
charts/ome-resources/..., cmd/model-agent/main.go, pkg/modelagent/gopher.go, pkg/ociobjectstore/os_data_store.go, pkg/ociobjectstore/write_limiter.go
Helm and CLI values configure model-file write concurrency. Gopher creates the limiter and passes it to the OCI data store. Helm validates that the value is a positive integer.
Shared temporary-file lifecycle
pkg/ociobjectstore/os_parallel_download.go, pkg/ociobjectstore/preallocate_*
Multipart downloads use one preallocated temporary file. Workers share the file, publish it after rename, and stop on cancellation.
Bounded range writes and validation
pkg/ociobjectstore/os_parallel_download.go, pkg/ociobjectstore/os_parallel_download_test.go
Workers write bounded ranges with pooled buffers, coalesced reads, retries, exact-size checks, and concurrency limits. Tests cover offsets, short responses, retries, boundaries, coalescing, and limiter behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7d3c9

The download path now writes parts directly into a preallocated model file, but final validation may not detect an unwritten range that appears as zero-filled data. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to strengthen completeness validation.

164-178: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Count completed parts before publishing the file.

The temporary file is preallocated to the full object size. An unwritten range stays zero-filled, and the post-rename os.Stat size check still passes. Today a part is only skipped after cancellation, and cancellation only follows an error, so no silent-success path is visible here. An explicit part count makes that invariant enforced instead of implied.

♻️ Proposed accounting check
 	var downloadErr error
+	completedParts := 0
 	for part := range downloadedParts {
-		if part.err != nil && downloadErr == nil {
-			downloadErr = fmt.Errorf("error downloading part %d: %w", part.partNum, part.err)
-			cancelDownload()
+		if part.err != nil {
+			if downloadErr == nil {
+				downloadErr = fmt.Errorf("error downloading part %d: %w", part.partNum, part.err)
+				cancelDownload()

 		}

 	cancelDownload()
 	if downloadErr != nil {

242-253: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Rename the local descriptor to remove the shadowing of part.

Line 242 declares part while line 248 still reads the outer loop variable part. This is correct today, because the new name enters scope only at the end of the statement. It is fragile. A later extraction of the literal changes the meaning of line 248 without a compile error.

♻️ Proposed rename
-		part := PrepareDownloadPart{
+		downloadPart := PrepareDownloadPart{
 			namespace: source.Namespace,
 			bucket:    source.BucketName,
 			object:    source.ObjectName,
 			byteRange: "bytes=" + bytesRange,
 			offset:    start,
 			partNum:   part,
 			// Corrected size calculation for inclusive ranges
 			size: end - start + 1,
 		}

Validate the response before writing the range

This request uses a valid bytes=start-end range, but the code does not validate the response. If the response does not honor the range, writePartAtWithLimiter can truncate the body to part.size, pass the exact-size check, and write incorrect bytes at part.offset.

Check RawResponse.StatusCode == http.StatusPartialContent and validate ContentRange before streaming. Treat a mismatch as a retryable part error and close resp.Content.
