Ideas for OpenStack Swift

• use keystone api in swift client, if possible
• change default ports - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/118200/
• reverse listings
• 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
• 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)
• 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
