Idea #3762
Updated by Tom Clegg almost 10 years ago
Keep should process the file asynchronously and delete each block in it.
This is written out in more detail at the bottom of:
https://arvados.org/projects/orvos-private/wiki/Keep_Design_Doc#Keep-Server
Notes:
* For now, begin processing the trash list right away. We can defer to a future sprint how Keep should decide when to start recycling blocks.
* If a block's actual age is less than (some delta) it should be skipped. Need to define how this threshold is chosen.
* If a new list is received while the old one is being processed, abandon the existing one, replace it with the new one, and start over.
