[REVIEW] OpenStack Swift as Object Storage Service

[Will Stevens <ws...@cloudops.com>]

Hello Everyone,
I would like your opinion on the work I have done to integrate OpenStack
Swift into CloudStack as an Object Storage Service available to the end
users.

*Functional Spec:*
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/OpenStack+Swift+as+Object+Storage+Service

*Jira Ticket:* https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6230

I have included a patch off master as of noon 2014/03/12 (today) so you can
see the changes I have made to the code (I would recommend viewing the
patch in an editor).

I have not created an actual Review Request yet because I am not sure which
version of CloudStack is reasonable to target adding this change.  I think
4.4 is probably too tight.

There is one global variable I want to add before this gets committed as
well.  The global variable would allow this functionality to be disabled in
the UI (that may be the default actually, since it requires a Swift install
to function).

Let me know if you have questions and I will do my best to answer them and
clarify the FS.

Cheers,

Will

Hi Will:

This looks interesting; and I am thrilled to see it.

PLUpload is GPLv2 - which likely at best limits us to noredist
inclusion. I haven't yet looked at this in-depth, just got that far in
reading the spec.
