Bucket Wipe

The purpose of the bucket-wipe tool is to enumerate a bucket and delete its contents in parallel threads. At the end the bucket is optionally deleted. This tool is required because you cannot (for safety reasons) delete a non-empty bucket.

Current Version: 2.1.0

Disclaimer about deleting data

WARNING: THIS TOOL PERMANENTLY DELETES ALL DATA IN A BUCKET, INCLUDING ALL VERSIONS!! Even if you have versioning enabled, the tool will destroy all data in the bucket and (by default) the bucket itself. If this is not what you want, use a different tool.

Usage

Bucket Wipe is a Java application and can be run using the java -jar command followed by the location of the JAR file. Running without any other arguments will produce command-line help.

usage: java -jar bucket-wipe.jar [options] <bucket-name>
 -a,--access-key <access-key>   the S3 access key
    --delete-mpus               incomplete MPUs will prevent the bucket


                                from being deleted. use this option to
                                clean up all incomplete MPUs
 -e,--endpoint <URI>            the endpoint to connect to, including
                                protocol, host, and port
 -h,--help                      displays this help text
 -hier,--hierarchical           Enumerate the bucket hierarchically.  This
                                is recommended for ECS's
                                filesystem-enabled buckets.
    --keep-bucket               do not delete the bucket when done
 -l,--key-list <file>           instead of listing bucket, delete objects
                                matched in source file key list
    --no-smart-client           disables the ECS smart-client. use this
                                option with an external load balancer
 -p,--prefix <prefix>           deletes only objects under the specified
                                prefix
 -s,--secret-key <secret-key>   the secret key
    --stacktrace                displays full stack trace of errors
 -t,--threads <threads>         number of threads to use
    --vhost                     enables DNS buckets and turns off load
                                balancer

Note that if you are using an endpoint that is a load balancer, you will want to use --no-smart-client to turn off the built-in software load balancer.
