Hi Paula,
Where can we see the source code for the prototype and any API specs
that you may have?

Hi Jay,
Thanks for your interest. Our prototype intercepts Swift REST requests
using proxy server middleware and uses Solr as the indexing/search back
end.
OK, sounds interesting.
Our search API is similar to the one proposed by HP.
My apologies, I'm apparently coming into this quite late :) Would you
mind sharing a link to the HP proposal? I wasn't at the summit
unfortunately and am playing a bit of catch up.
> Rather than propose
yet another API (we already have the HP proposal and the SoftLayer API out
there), we would be glad to participate in the discussion on search API,
functionality, and which parts should be open source and which vendor
specific. We haven't put our code out in the open yet but may be able to
contribute to a reference implementation.
The FLOSSian in me encourages you and your team to share early and
release often. Open code breeds innovation! :)
In general we would propose that the API be general and allow different
vendors to implement subsets, for example by publishing which <services>
are implemented as in the HP proposal. So the SoftLayer API would be one
example subset.
K, sounds good. If there's already a good API proposal, I totally agree
with you on not creating another one and instead working to improve
existing ones if necessary.
Some things to consider as optional additions to the API (could be included
as optional <services> as in the HP proposal):
- allowing to search for accounts/containers/objects having certain
attribute names, where the attribute names could possibly have wildcards
- allowing user defined types with their own sort orders to be
indexed/searched
- allowing multiple search criteria where each one has a different scope
i.e. account, container etc., for example, search for objects in containers
created in 2013 whose color is red
