[jira] [Updated] (LIBCLOUD-540) Implement Copy Object Semantic

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-540?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Kyle Kelley updated LIBCLOUD-540:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
Several providers have a copy object semantic that works within one datacenter/region. [Azure copy Blob|http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dd894037.aspx], [OpenStack Swift object copy|http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/content/copy-object.html].

I have not dug into Amazon S3 or any others, so I could use some guidance there.

I'd like to design it to be used cross-providers instead of ex_copy_object, as discussed in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-275?focusedCommentId=13959367&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13959367.

I'm imagining that the StorageDriver class would get this function header:

def copy_object(self, src_container_name, src_object_name, dst_container_name, dst_object_name)

That layout works for both OpenStack/Rackspace/HP and Azure, minus any additional metadata headers that you might want to send for these providers. Is there a clean way to handle that?
