[jira] [Created] (CLOUDSTACK-3536) Retrofit Swift Python Client with a Java-based client

John Burwell created CLOUDSTACK-3536:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Retrofit Swift Python Client with a Java-based client
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-3536
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-3536
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Storage Controller
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0
            Reporter: John Burwell


Currently, we use the Swift Python client invoked via shell script to interact with Swift stores.  While functional, it prevents the management server from managing connection pools, exploiting rich exception handling, and Java I/O streams.  Switching to a native Java client (e.g. https://github.com/woorea/openstack-java-sdk) would allow CloudStack to utilize these features.  Since no Java client available supports progress reporting or > 5 GB storage, we would likely need to contribute these enhancements before performing a retrofit.
