Is there a simple way to get an object count for some branch and path in lakefs?

It’s very hack-ish, but would this work?

lakectl fs ls lakefs://<repo>/<branch>/<path> --recursive | wc -l

ah of course the lakefs cli. I was trying to use the aws cli 🤦 Thank you for the suggestion

NP, I guess you could do the same with aws cli

Not sure you will get any better than that -- lakeFS tries to be a lot like S3, and an object store doesn't really do that sort of thing without iterating over everything.

On that note. @Oliver Haney - whats the use case for counting number of objects? Maybe we can suggest something else 🙂

I have an ingestion job running to build a vector store index. I use branches to segregate data produced from runs of said ingestion job. I just wanted to compare the number of objects produced in each branch in the same amount of time because I made some improvements to the ingestion process.

So the files will be completely different files in each branch - correct?

The second branch I created contains the same objects as the first branch and more.

right. Comparing in the UI might work as well. THANK YOU!
