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
