Hi Heshan! A successful GSoC proposal should include the following: 1) Implementation of the Backblaze authentication mechanism.
2) Implementation of the B2 API. This allows applications to use all of the features of the B2 service, including creating and removing buckets, files, and large files. See AzureBlobClient for an example. 3) Unit and live tests for the B2 API. See AzureBlobClientTest and AzureBlobClientLiveTest for examples of the former and latter. 4) Implementation of the jclouds portable abstraction. This allows applications written against one provider, e.g., Azure, to work against another. See AzureBlobStore for an example. 5) Integration with the portable abstraction tests. B2 does not support some features like signed URLs which need to be stubbed out in tests. See AzureBlobIntegrationLiveTest an example. 6) Provider guide with example usage. See https://jclouds.apache.org/guides/azure-storage/ for an example. You can find the successful 2014 proposal for Google Cloud Storage here: https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jclouds-dev/201403.mbox/%3ccaa7bovtkmr2ta3j_isqndd0nmky8t+zrqyvyqzyb9fn2ym4...@mail.gmail.com%3E Generally jclouds emphasises portability and open development. Thus everything should be implemented in a manner similar to other providers, e.g., RPC mechanism, logging, tests, and you should study the existing code to guide you. Open development includes participating on mailing lists, IRC, GitHub, and most importantly incrementally implementing functionality instead of giant commits. I recommend fixing a small issue on JIRA to understand our workflow. I look forward to reviewing your proposal!
