[jira] [Created] (WHIRR-353) Allow uploading an entire directory using prepareRemoteFileUrl

Allow uploading an entire directory using prepareRemoteFileUrl
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WHIRR-353
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-353
             Project: Whirr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 0.6.0
            Reporter: Karel Vervaeke


Currently, prepareRemoteFileUrl allows you to upload a single file.
It would be nice if you could give it a local directory (user-provided, containing configuration files for example), and have that directory automatically uploaded to each instance.

For implementation, I would suggest creating a tarball, uploading it like we already do for single files, and add a statement to untar the tarball to a temp dir.

The name of the method wouldn't be entirely representative anymore, but I don't have any suggestions at the moment.

Related idea (but way out of scope for this issue): A bittorrent-backed blobstore provider would be very cool. See http://torrentfreak.com/facebook-uses-bittorrent-and-they-love-it-100625/

-----------------------------------

I believe that if we address WHIRR-286 you should be able to this on the client side with Bash scripts.
