recheck_container_existence = 60	Cache timeout in seconds to send memcached for container existence
object_chunk_size = 8192	Chunk size to read from object servers
client_chunk_size = 8192	Chunk size to read from clients
node_timeout = 10	Request timeout to external services
recoverable_node_timeout = node_timeout	Request timeout to external services for requests that, on failure, can be recovered from. For example, object GET. from a client external services

allow_account_management = false	Whether account PUTs and DELETEs are even callable
object_post_as_copy = true	Set object_post_as_copy = false to turn on fast posts where only the metadata changes are stored anew and the original data file is kept in place.
