[jira] [Created] (FLINK-8432) Add openstack swift filesystem

Jelmer Kuperus created FLINK-8432:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Add openstack swift filesystem
                 Key: FLINK-8432
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8432
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: filesystem-connector
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
            Reporter: Jelmer Kuperus


At ebay classifieds we started running our infrastructure on top of OpenStack.

The openstack project comes with its own amazon-s3-like filesystem, known as Swift. It's built for scale and optimized for durability, availability, and concurrency across the entire data set. Swift is ideal for storing unstructured data that can grow without bound.

We would really like to be able to use it within flink, as a sink or for storing savepoints etc

I've prepared a pull request that adds support for it. It wraps the hadoop support for swift in a way that is very similar to the way the s3 connector works.

You can find out more about the underlying hadoop implementation at https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-openstack/index.html
