My two cents on the topic.
Ideally we would save the size in the object store metadata and retrieve it
from the metadata if it is set. If it is not set in the object store
metadata, then when it is fetched, we have to put it on NFS and determine
the size (then ideally save the metadata back to the object store) and
remove the NFS copy.
This way the NFS copy approach is only ever done once and then the data is
populated (for backwards compatibility). For all templates created after
the patch, the metadata would be stored and retrieved without the need for
the NFS copy.
Is this feasible?
