The manifest was assembled entirely in memory on both paths, so a payload past ~21.7M segments (41 TiB at 2 MiB segments) hard-failed with OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit.

  • serialize the manifest straight into the zip entry and parse it from a Reader, so neither side materializes it as a Java String
  • add Manifest.Segments, a compact fixed-stride AbstractList backed by packed hash bytes (~24 B/segment instead of ~176), with an ArrayList fallback for manifests this SDK did not write
  • materialize the aggregate hash once and share it with the root signature and every assertion instead of copying it per assertion

Manifest JSON bytes are unchanged. The 0.manifest.json zip entry is now a streamed data-descriptor entry, the same form 0.payload already used.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Large manifests can now be read and written as streams, improving handling of very large TDF files.
    • Manifest segment data uses a more memory-efficient representation when segments have consistent sizing and hash formats.
    • Segment hashes are aggregated consistently during encryption and decryption.
  • Breaking Changes

    • Manifest access now uses reader and output-stream APIs instead of complete strings. Callers must close manifest streams before finishing writes.

… (DSPX-4584)

The manifest was assembled entirely in memory on both paths, so a payload past
~21.7M segments (41 TiB at 2 MiB segments) hard-failed with OutOfMemoryError:
Requested array size exceeds VM limit.

- serialize the manifest straight into the zip entry and parse it from a
  Reader, so neither side materializes it as a Java String
- add Manifest.Segments, a compact fixed-stride AbstractList<Segment> backed by
  packed hash bytes (~24 B/segment instead of ~176), with an ArrayList fallback
  for manifests this SDK did not write
- materialize the aggregate hash once and share it with the root signature and
  every assertion instead of copying it per assertion

Manifest JSON bytes are unchanged. The 0.manifest.json zip entry is now a
streamed data-descriptor entry, the same form 0.payload already used. EOF

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SDK adds compact manifest segment storage and streams manifest JSON through TDF readers and writers. TDF encryption, loading, hash aggregation, resource closing, and tests use the new representations and APIs.

Changes

Manifest streaming and segment handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compact segment representation
sdk/src/main/java/io/opentdf/platform/sdk/Manifest.java, sdk/src/test/java/io/opentdf/platform/sdk/SegmentsTest.java
Manifest.Segments stores compatible segment arrays compactly, falls back to regular lists when needed, aggregates hashes, and supports streamed manifest parsing. Tests cover serialization, fallback cases, aggregation, and very large manifests.
Streaming manifest APIs
sdk/src/main/java/io/opentdf/platform/sdk/TDFReader.java, sdk/src/main/java/io/opentdf/platform/sdk/TDFWriter.java, sdk/src/main/java/io/opentdf/platform/sdk/SDK.java
Manifest reads now return buffered readers. Manifest writes now return output streams. Callers close these resources while parsing or writing manifests.
TDF segment and manifest integration
sdk/src/main/java/io/opentdf/platform/sdk/TDF.java, sdk/src/test/java/io/opentdf/platform/sdk/TDFWriterTest.java
TDF encryption and loading use compact segments, centralized hash aggregation, streamed manifest serialization, and streamed manifest parsing. Tests verify temporary-file output, manifest round trips, and independent ZIP reading.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a5e50

Malformed manifests can force excessive allocation during parsing, and upgrading SDK consumers can break existing manifest-writing integrations. Both issues should be resolved before merge.

Bound stride before allocating the first chunk.

stride comes from the first manifest hash. The int expression stride * SEGMENTS_PER_CHUNK can request a multi-gigabyte array or overflow before the parser falls back to ArrayList. Reject oversized hashes before assigning stride.

Retain appendManifest(String) as a deprecated compatibility wrapper.

Removing this public method breaks existing SDK consumers at compile time and runtime after an upgrade. Keep the former method and implement it with manifest() until the next planned breaking release.

Proposed compatibility wrapper
+    `@Deprecated`
+    public void appendManifest(String manifest) throws IOException {
+        try (OutputStream output = manifest()) {
+            output.write(manifest.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
+        }
+    }
+
     public OutputStream manifest() throws IOException {
         return this.archiveWriter.stream(TDF_MANIFEST_FILE_NAME);
