Pull Request Summary: Multi-Library Storage Support

Overview

This PR updates the DLIO benchmark code to the latest version from the dpsi fork and adds configurable multi-library storage support, bringing the TF_ObjectStorage branch up to date with modern S3 storage capabilities.

What Changed

1. Updated DLIO Benchmark to Latest dpsi Fork

Replaced: Old DLIO benchmark code (argonne-lcf fork)
With: Latest dpsi/dlio_benchmark (darien-s3-refactor branch)

Why: The dpsi fork includes critical improvements:

Modern S3 integration with s3torchconnector baseline
Better async/await patterns for storage operations
Improved configuration handling and validation
Active maintenance and bug fixes

Impact: Brings codebase current with latest DLIO developments, providing a stable foundation for multi-library extensions.

2. Added Multi-Library Storage Architecture

New Feature: Configurable storage backend selection via YAML configuration

Supported Libraries:

s3torchconnector (AWS S3, baseline) - Production-ready AWS integration
s3dlio (Zero-copy multi-protocol) - High-performance storage with 5+ GB/s throughput
minio (MinIO SDK) - Native MinIO support with optimized PUT operations

Configuration:

storage:
  storage_type: s3
  storage_library: s3torchconnector  # or s3dlio or minio
  storage_options:
    endpoint_url: http://172.16.1.40:9000
    access_key_id: ${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}
    secret_access_key: ${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}

3. Implementation Details

Core Components Added/Modified:

StorageLibrary Enum (enumerations.py)
- New enum: S3TORCHCONNECTOR, S3DLIO, MINIO
- Enables type-safe library selection
Storage Adapters:
- s3dlio_storage.py - s3dlio integration with zero-copy support
- minio_storage.py - MinIO SDK with 16MB parts and parallel uploads
- s3_torch_storage.py - Enhanced s3torchconnector baseline
StorageFactory (storage_factory.py)
- Routes storage requests based on storage_library parameter
- 4-parameter signature: get_storage(storage_type, storage_root, framework, storage_library)
- Updated all 6 call sites throughout codebase
Configuration Support (config.py, rules.py)
- Added storage_library field to ConfigArguments
- Updated validation rules to allow multi-library parameters
- Support for storage.storage_options.* prefix matching

4. Integration and Testing

Full Workflow Tests (3 scripts included):

test_baseline_s3torch.sh - s3torchconnector baseline validation
test_s3dlio_library.sh - s3dlio data generation + training
test_minio_library.sh - minio data generation + training

Each test includes:

Data generation (10 NPZ files, ~500MB total)
Training (5 epochs with UNet3D workload)
S3 verification (bucket listing and cleanup)
Environment variable validation

Test Results:

✅ s3torchconnector: 10 files generated, 5 epochs @ ~4.5s/epoch
✅ s3dlio: 10 files generated, 5 epochs @ ~5.0s/epoch
✅ minio: 10 files generated, 5 epochs @ ~3.7s/epoch (fastest)

5. Performance Benchmarking Suite

Added: Comprehensive benchmarking infrastructure

benchmark_libraries_v8.py - Async producer/consumer performance tests
benchmark_datagen_v2.py - Data generation performance comparison
benchmark_performance.sh - Automated test runner
Performance baselines documented in test results

Benchmark Results (100GB workload):

s3dlio: 2.88 GB/s PUT, 7.07 GB/s GET (fastest overall)
minio: 0.70 GB/s PUT, 6.77 GB/s GET
s3torchconnector: 1.89 GB/s PUT, 2.39 GB/s GET (baseline)

6. Documentation

Added: MULTI_LIBRARY_USAGE.md - Complete user guide including:

Configuration examples for all 3 libraries
Command-line usage patterns

Why These Changes

Problem Statement

Outdated DLIO Code: Previous implementation used older fork lacking modern S3 features
Limited Storage Options: Only supported single s3torchconnector implementation
Performance Bottlenecks: No way to leverage faster storage libraries like s3dlio
Vendor Lock-in: Couldn't test MinIO-specific optimizations

Solution Benefits

Up-to-Date Foundation: Latest dpsi code provides stable, maintained baseline
Flexibility: Users can choose storage library based on their environment/requirements
Performance Options: Can select fastest library for specific workloads (minio for training, s3dlio for large transfers)
Compatibility: Maintains backward compatibility (s3torchconnector remains default)
Testing: Ability to benchmark and compare storage backend performance

Design Principles

Minimal Disruption: All storage adapters inherit from S3PyTorchConnectorStorage for compatibility
Configuration-Driven: Library selection via YAML, no code changes needed
Drop-in Replacement: Existing configs work unchanged (default to s3torchconnector)
Comprehensive Testing: Every library tested end-to-end with real workloads

Migration Path

For Existing Users

No action required - existing configurations continue to work with s3torchconnector baseline.

To Use New Libraries

Add one line to existing YAML config:

storage:
  storage_library: minio  # or s3dlio

Environment Variables

All libraries use standard AWS credential environment variables:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
ENDPOINT_URL or AWS_ENDPOINT_URL (for non-AWS S3)
