Hi Guang, 

Does 'copy' works for your case? copying one objects inside one bucket would 
copy the head object only. The shadow objects are not copied.
If rgw_max_chunk_objects is configured to be small(say 1-byte) then we have a 
'symbolic link'  like file.

thanks, -yuan

Subject: Re: Symbolic links like feature on radosgw

Hi Yehuda,
We have a user requirement that needs symbolic link like feature on radosgw - 
two object ids pointing to the same object (ideally it could cross bucket, but 
same bucket is fine).

The closest feature on Amazon S3 I could find is [1], but not exact the same, 
the one from Amazon S3 API was designed for static web site hosting.

Is this a valid feature request we can put into radosgw? The way I am thinking 
to implement is like symbolic link, the link object just contains a pointer to 
the original object.
