Goodday, Daniel. Thanks for response. Today, before your message, i've update wiki page [1]. Now while POST user would recieve DBLog responce object which would contain location ulr of downloaded log file. About the way of storing files, i've described inside of [1], in guest-side configuretion, that each file inside container would contain timestamp, and i'm not going to limit user with specific number of allowed files inside Swift. I hope, i answered all your questions.

Re: [openstack-dev] [trove] Delivering datastore logs to customers
Vipul, agreed.
Trove server side could store a mapping of available log files and their
paths per datastore.
Also i agreed with ingoring DBLog model since it's really useless in term
of future manipulations.
And deployer would be able to define which logs could be available for user
by setting allowing parameter per each log type.
Example:
allow_commit_log = True, allow_bin_log = False - each of parameter sets
are custom per datastore.
mapping = {}
if allow_bin_log: mapping.update({'bin_log': path})
2013/12/20 Vipul Sabhaya vip...@gmail.com
Yep agreed, this is a great idea.
We really only need two API calls to get this going:
- List available logs to ‘save’
- Save a log (to swift)
Some additional points to consider:
- We don’t need to create a record of every Log ‘saved’ in Trove. These
entries, treated as a Trove resource aren’t useful, since you don’t
actually manipulate that resource.
- Deletes of Logs shouldn’t be part of the Trove API, if the user wants to
delete them, just use Swift.
- A deployer should be able to choose which logs can be ‘saved’ by their
users
