Hi, I've been through suresh's review of the HADOOP-8545 patch and pulled in the changes -that patch is now ready for review by anyone, testing even better.
I'd like to get this in not just because we've been working on it for a long time, but because I'm trying to specify more rigorously what filesystems should do ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9361 ) -a lot of those swift tests can be pulled up to be test cases, and I'd like to have the swift: FS tested the way I'm setting up s3 and ftp. -steve
