Hello, Amazon S3 and Google Storage make very explicit (non-) consistency guarantees for stored objects. I'm looking for a similar documentation about OpenStack's Swift, but haven't had much success.
Could someone summarize what kind of consistency guarantees a swift server offers? For example: - If I receive a (non-error) response to a PUT request, am I guaranteed that the object will be immediately included in all object listings in every possible situation? - If I receive a (non-error) response to a PUT request, am I guaranteed that a subsequent GET will return the new data in every possible situation (e.g. even if the server accepting the PUT crashes, and another server with an older version of the object is still online)? - If I receive a (non-error) response to a DELETE request, am I guaranteed that the object will immediately be no longer included in all object listings in every possible situation? - If the swift server looses an object, will the object name still be returned in object listings? Will attempts to retrieve it result in 404 errors (as if it never existed) or a different error?
