On Windows, fclose() seems to be very expensive for large files, where
closing a 1 GB file takes up to 5 seconds. This CL calls fclose() in
background threads. This tremendously improves local syncs, e.g.
copying a 4.5 GB, 300 files data set takes only 7 seconds instead of
30 seconds.
Also increases the buffer size for copying from 16K to 128K (better
throughput for local copies), and adds a timestamp to debug and
verbose console logs (useful when comparing client and server logs).
The tools allow efficient and fast synchronization of large directory
trees from a Windows workstation to a Linux target machine.
cdc_rsync* support efficient copy of files by using content-defined
chunking (CDC) to identify chunks within files that can be reused.
asset_stream_manager + cdc_fuse_fs support efficient streaming of a
local directory to a remote virtual file system based on FUSE. It also
employs CDC to identify and reuse unchanged data chunks.
