Andrew Gaul commented on JCLOUDS-458:
-------------------------------------
[~algarecu] jclouds lacks a Google-specific provider that interfaces via:
https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/
Presently jclouds can interface via the more limited S3-compatible API:
http://jclouds.apache.org/documentation/userguide/using-s3/
The richer GCS API allows use of different storage classes and regions for
buckets, composite objects, server-side copy:
https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/buckets/insert
https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/composite-objects
Generally we build the provider-specific implementation first then add the
BlobStore abstraction on top of it.
