> The idea is to provide a 'local' storage driver. This will provide developers with the ability to implement storage features with libcloud such that it can be deployed on a cloud platform or over local file-systems (for eg: over a local disk or a n/w mounted storage). This will allow for hybrid deployments where the storage layer can be altered via config changes.
> In addition, this also let's users play around with the library without the need to access a cloud system
> A sample implementation could
> * use the 'key' argument as the base file-system where the objects will be stored
> * use a file-system hierarchy to represent containers and objects
