The proxy-server makes GET requests to the container server to fetch full lists of shard ranges when handling object PUT/POST/DELETE and container GETs, then it only stores the Namespace attributes (lower and name) of the shard ranges into Memcache and reconstructs the list of Namespaces based on those attributes. Thus, a namespaces GET interface can be added into the backend container-server to only return a list of those Namespace attributes. On a container server setup which serves a container with ~12000 shard ranges, benchmarking results show that the request rate of the HTTP GET all namespaces (states=updating) is ~12 op/s, while the HTTP GET all shard ranges (states=updating) is ~3.2 op/s. The new namespace GET interface supports most of headers and parameters supported by shard range GET interface. For example, the support of marker, end_marker, include, reverse and etc. Two exceptions are: 'x-backend-include-deleted' cannot be supported because there is no way for a Namespace to indicate the deleted state; the 'auditing' state query parameter is not supported because it is specific to the sharder which only requests full shard ranges.
