For now, last modified timestamp is supported only on
object listing. (i.e. GET container)
For example:
GET container with json format results in like as:
[{"hash": "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e", "last_modified":
"2015-06-10T04:58:23.460230", "bytes": 0, "name": "object",
"content_type": "application/octet-stream"}]
However, container listing (i.e. GET account) shows just a dict
consists of ("name", "bytes", "name") for each container.
For example:
GET accounts with json format result in like as:
[{"count": 0, "bytes": 0, "name": "container"}]
This patch is for supporting last_modified key in the container
listing results as well as object listing like as:
[{"count": 0, "bytes": 0, "name": "container", "last_modified":
"2015-06-10T04:58:23.460230"}]
This patch is changing just output for listing. The original
timestamp to show the last modified is already in container table
of account.db as a "put_timestamp" column.
Note that this patch *DOESN'T* change the put_timestamp semantics.
i.e. the last_modified timestamp will be changed only at both PUT
container and POST container.
(PUT object doesn't affect the timestamp)
Note that the tuple format of returning value from
swift.account.backend.AccountBroker.list_containers is now
(name, object_count, bytes_used, put_timestamp, 0)
* put_timestamp is added *
Original discussion was in working session at Vancouver Summit.
