Add CLI commands so that Whirr can be used a minimal blob store client
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WHIRR-286
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-286
Project: Whirr
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Andrei Savu
I believe it would be helpful in many workflows if you could create and delete
blobs just by using the Whirr CLI (data used for processing). I suggest that we
should add new commands to the CLI so that Whirr can be used as minimal generic
blob store client that's also aware of the location of the nodes (a typical
mistake is to upload files to a different location).
Workflow (common?):
{noformat}
$ whirr create-container --config.. --name data
$ whirr upload-file --config.. --file local.tar.gz --container data --blob
data.tar.gz
$ whirr launch-cluster --config..
# start a map reduce job and collect the results
$ whirr download-file --config.. --file output.tar.gz --container data --blob
output.tar.gz
$ whirr destroy-cluster --config..
$ whirr destroy-container --config.. --name data
{noformat}
