This will not be committed to the 0.18 branch, even if there is an 0.18.4 release. If you wanted to post an 0.18 compatible patch on the same JIRA for reference, that's fine, but only patches to trunk will be considered for inclusion. > In general you should be aware that you should integrate as a new project in > the contrib/ dir.

If this is a shim, it should probably live in o.a.h.fs with S3FileSystem, KosmosFileSystem, etc. rather than being added to contrib. -C
