OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

Changing Policies of Containers

Registered by Daisuke Morita

Swift currently prohibits users from changing containers' storage policies. Therefore, you cannot change the number of replicas, the type of storing devices (like SSD/HDD) and the geography of storing devices.

This proposal is to add the feature of changing storing policies to Swift. The basic idea is to implement the background daemon which transfers objects gradually whose storage policy has been changed in backend network bandwidth. Please see swift-specs repository for details.
