openstack-swift is to be the first API based on the new RegionScopedBlobStore design targeted for the 1.7.0 jclouds release. [1]
After some discussion today, I believe that we should do the following to introduce the new RegionScopedBlobStore in 1.7.0 : - Promote "jclouds-labs-openstack/openstack-swift" to "jclouds/apis/openstack-swift" - Deprecate "jclouds/apis/swift" and any related dependent providers - Update examples and docs For the 1.8 release, we will completely remove the legacy Swift api/providers and any old docs/examples we have. This new API will not impact the currently released Swift API and providers (Cloud Files and HP Cloud Object Storage). The API/providers have new names/packages as to not conflict anywhere. I am also drafting a message that we can eventually send out to the users@list to let them know what's coming and when. OK discuss! ;) /jd [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-299
