Description

Lance format now support deep_clone dataset: https://github.com/lance-format/lance/pull/5250

But the underlying is using single file copy interface. As we know all cloud storage have batch copy, we should ideally leverage that, but that requires upstream support.

This issue is to track this progress

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Lance deep_clone support in pull request #5250 and the issue’s description of single-file copying. Then investigate the upstream support needed for object-store batch copy. Done means dataset deep_clone uses bulk copy rather than the single-file copy interface across supported cloud storage.
