This page is a collection of "brain dumps" for ideas about features in OpenStack Swift. If you're working on something, it's a very good idea to write down what you're thinking about. This lets others get up to speed, helps you collaborate, and serves as a great record for future reference. Write down your thoughts somewhere and put a link to it here. It doesn't matter what form your thoughts are in; use whatever is best for you. Your document should include why your idea is needed and your thoughts on particular design choices and tradeoffs. '''Please include some contact information''' (ideally, your IRC nick) so that people can collaborate with you.
−
* change default ports - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/118200/
 
−
* reverse listings - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/120709/
 
−
* stdin streaming to swiftclient
 
−
* ring validator (in swift-recon): eg test that something is running on the ports in the ring -- not just "something", must verify correct type, because deployers sometimes flip a/c/o and then inexplicable 400 happens -- https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OutreachProgramForWomen/Ideas#Swift_-_storage_server_OPTIONS_support_and_checker_tool
 
−
* deep health check to test all the way to drives (? or at least storage servers)
 
−
* better ring deployment inside of swift itself
 
−
* need internal net sec enforcement - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/swift/+spec/secure-internal-network-requests
 
−
* change the ssync (object-replicator) design to be run as another process for concurrency
 
−
* durability simulator based on swift specification (e.g. # of replicas, # of devices and network speed to replicate) (inprogress by Christian)
 
−
* in the situation where a proxy needs to talk to a storage node on the same server, call the storage node method(s) directly instead of putting bytes on the network (somewhat in progress)
 
−
* skeleton middleware, well-commented
 
−
* fsync directories (talk to portante or notmyname in IRC about this)
 
−
* DiskFile entry point

Ideas for OpenStack Swift

This page is a collection of "brain dumps" for ideas about features in OpenStack Swift. If you're working on something, it's a very good idea to write down what you're thinking about. This lets others get up to speed, helps you collaborate, and serves as a great record for future reference. Write down your thoughts somewhere and put a link to it here. It doesn't matter what form your thoughts are in; use whatever is best for you. Your document should include why your idea is needed and your thoughts on particular design choices and tradeoffs. Please include some contact information (ideally, your IRC nick) so that people can collaborate with you.

Historic "specs" are available at https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/swift-specs/
