Restore object from AWS Glacier to S3


I have configured life cycle policy in S3, some of objects in S3 are stored in Glacier class, some of object are still in S3, now I am trying to restore objects from Glacier, I can get object list in S3 by java AWS SDK, how can I know which object is in Glacier storage by AWS SDK? The reason is when I try restore an object not in Glacier, I will have a exception. I wanna avoid this.


Solution

  • The ListObjects Amazon S3 API call can be used to obtain a list of objects in a given bucket.

    The list of files returned includes a StorageClass field. It can be one of:

    • STANDARD
    • REDUCED_REDUNDANCY
    • GLACIER

    The GLACIER storage class indicates that the contents of the object is currently in Glacier.
