Rewrite server side copy and 'object post as copy' feature as middleware to simplify the PUT method in the object controller code. COPY is no longer a verb implemented as public method in Proxy application. The server side copy middleware is inserted to the left of dlo, slo and versioned_writes middlewares in the proxy server pipeline. As a result, dlo and slo copy_hooks are no longer required. SLO manifests are now validated when copied so when copying a manifest to another account the referenced segments must be readable in that account for the manifest copy to succeed (previously this validation was not made, meaning the manifest was copied but could be unusable if the segments were not readable). With this change, there should be no change in functionality or existing behavior. This is asserted with (almost) no changes required to existing functional tests. Some notes (for operators): * Middleware required to be auto-inserted before slo and dlo and versioned_writes * Turning off server side copy is not configurable. * object_post_as_copy is no longer a configurable option of proxy server but of this middleware. However, for smooth upgrade, config option set in proxy server app is also read.

Swift
A distributed object storage system designed to scale from a single machine to thousands of servers. Swift is optimized for multi-tenancy and high concurrency. Swift is ideal for backups, web and mobile content, and any other unstructured data that can grow without bound.
Swift provides a simple, REST-based API fully documented at http://docs.openstack.org/.
Swift was originally developed as the basis for Rackspace's Cloud Files and was open-sourced in 2010 as part of the OpenStack project. It has since grown to include contributions from many companies and has spawned a thriving ecosystem of 3rd party tools. Swift's contributors are listed in the AUTHORS file.
Docs
To build documentation install sphinx
(pip install sphinx), run
python setup.py build_sphinx, and then browse to
/doc/build/html/index.html. These docs are auto-generated after every
commit and available online at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/.
For Developers
The best place to get started is the "SAIO - Swift All In One". This document will walk you through setting up a development cluster of Swift in a VM. The SAIO environment is ideal for running small-scale tests against swift and trying out new features and bug fixes.
You can run unit tests with .unittests and functional
tests with .functests.
If you would like to start contributing, check out these notes to help you get started.
Code Organization
- bin/: Executable scripts that are the processes run by the deployer
- doc/: Documentation
- etc/: Sample config files
- swift/: Core code
- account/: account server
- common/: code shared by different modules
- middleware/: "standard", officially-supported middleware
- ring/: code implementing Swift's ring
- container/: container server
- obj/: object server
- proxy/: proxy server
- test/: Unit and functional tests
Data Flow
Swift is a WSGI application and uses eventlet's WSGI server. After
the processes are running, the entry point for new requests is the
Application class in swift/proxy/server.py.
From there, a controller is chosen, and the request is processed. The
proxy may choose to forward the request to a back- end server. For
example, the entry point for requests to the object server is the
ObjectController class in
swift/obj/server.py.
For Deployers
Deployer docs are also available at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/. A good starting point is at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/deployment\_guide.html
You can run functional tests against a swift cluster with
.functests. These functional tests require
/etc/swift/test.conf to run. A sample config file can be
found in this source tree in test/sample.conf.
For Client Apps
For client applications, official Python language bindings are provided at http://github.com/openstack/python-swiftclient.
Complete API documentation at http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/content/
For more information come hang out in #openstack-swift on freenode.
