Hi all,
I was wondering what the roadmap for Hummingbird is.
Will development continue?  Will support continue?  Is it expected to reach
feature parity or even replace the Python code?

Thank you,
Avishay

Yes- we are in active development of Hummingbird.  It is (mostly) a drop in 
replacement for the python-swift object server but is not currently 100% 
compatible and we are not recommending people using it in their production env. 
For example, it does not support Storage Policies. This however is going to be 
one of the things we work on soon. Long term, I am not sure if it will ever 
replace the Python version. I think this is something we should continue 
talking about- esp at the up coming Openstack Summit in Austin. The overall 
goal of the project (imo at least) is to be fast, simple, easy to deploy, 
failure tolerant, and ultra scalable even at the cost of feature parity with 
swift.  We will be trying to add some more documentation about the project soon 
but everything is still a WIP. Thanks for your interest,

David
