Remove archive/restore support #1350

Open jrtcppv opened 1 year ago

jrtcppv commented 1 year ago

Because Tator can support a large number of object storage providers and storage configurations, it is difficult to ensure full support for archive and restore. In addition the best strategy for restoration often varies. For example, if using Amazon S3, there are tradeoffs for cost and restoration speed, as well as duration of restoration. Given this we should delegate storage lifecycle to devops engineers with control over object storage rather than effectively replicating object storage APIs within Tator. This task should result in the following:

To indicate archive status on projects where this is part of the media lifecycle, a prerequisite to this issue is #1349. This issue also supersedes #940, #651, #644, and #467.

TODO: Investigate use of a tag (future work) or custom attribute to allow for searching on archive state.
