----------------------------------------
You can replace user metadata in Swift with POST:

> Key: JCLOUDS-883
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-883
> Project: jclouds
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jclouds-blobstore
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Andrew Gaul
> Assignee: Zack Shoylev
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: openstack-swift
>
> Swift only allows appending to user metadata, different from other object
> stores, such that the following integration test fails:
> {noformat}
> Failed tests:
>
> CloudFilesUSBlobIntegrationLiveTest>BaseBlobIntegrationTest.testCopyBlobReplaceMetadata:812->BaseBlobIntegrationTest.checkUserMetadata:606
>
> Expecting:
> <{"key2"="value2", "key3"="value3", "key1"="value1", "key4"="value4"}>
> to be equal to:
> <{"key3"="value3", "key4"="value4"}>
> but was not.
> {noformat}
> Unfortunately the provider API does not appear to provide a way to set the
> combination of content and user metadata to fix this up after the fact.
