Greetings jclouds users, We want to let the user community know about the upcoming changes to Swift in the jclouds 1.7 release. "openstack-swift" will be the first API based on the new RegionScopedSwiftBlobStore design.
WHAT WILL BE CHANGING - The implementation of the new RegionScopedSwiftBlobStore [1] will be promoted the main jclouds repository [2]. - The legacy Swift API [3] (and dependent providers) will remain in 1.7 releases, and new provider implementations of the RegionScopedSwiftBlobStore will be introduced. - All examples and documentation will be updated to reflect these changes. The new RegionScopedSwiftBlobStore API WILL NOT impact the legacy API/providers like "cloudfiles" [4] and "hpcloud-objectstore" [5]. If you are dependent on the current Swift API/providers, we urge you to test with the new implementation during the 1.7 releases! In the 1.8 release, we will completely remove the legacy Swift API/providers as well as any documentation and examples. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns, thanks!
