Hi there 👋 I'm wondering if lakeFS would support sth like fuse-zip, or google mount-zip ? I want to copy some files inside a large .ZIP file stored by LakeFS into my local machines. I'd be such a burden to download that chunky 10GB file for just some 1MB documents.

Hey @Lâm Nguyễn (Nicholas)! no fuse/mount support for zip files, however, there's a simpler way! Take a look at cloudzip - it works with lakeFS and allows downloading specific files from a zip archive without having to download the whole thing

that’s a really helpful quick response! thanks! I’m gonna look into it!

I am trying to use cloudzip with our self-hosted lakefs server in Azure @Oz Katz how to do you tell it which server to use ? the endpoint server ?

it will attempt to read the standard lakectl config from environment variables (

LAKECTL_ENDPOINT_URL

,

LAKECTL_ACCESS_KEY_ID

and

LAKECTL_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

). If not set, it will attempt to read these values from a

~/.lakectl.yaml

config file

I don;t use lakectl so I don;t have that set 😛

ah got it. which clients do you typically use?

s3fs

thanks!
