+title: Accessing Openstack Swift storage from Spark
+---
+
+# Accessing Openstack Swift storage from Spark
+
+Spark's file interface allows it to process data in Openstack Swift using
the same URI
+formats that are supported for Hadoop. You can specify a path in Swift as
input through a
+URI of the form `swift://<container.service_provider>/path`. You will also
need to set your
+Swift security credentials, through `SparkContext.hadoopConfiguration`.
+
+#Configuring Hadoop to use Openstack Swift
+Openstack Swift driver was merged in Hadoop verion 2.3.0 ([Swift
driver](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8545)). Users that wish
to use previous Hadoop versions will need to configure Swift driver manually.
Current Swift driver
+requieres Swift to use Keystone authentication method. There are recent
efforts to support
+also temp auth
[Hadoop-10420](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10420).
+To configure Hadoop to work with Swift one need to modify core-sites.xml
of Hadoop and
+setup Swift FS.

Is this needed? Can we just put this in core-site.xml under conf?
(Basically removing the configuring Hadoop section)
