NAME
swift-object-server - Openstack-swift object server.
SYNOPSIS
swift-object-server [CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose]
DESCRIPTION
The Object Server is a very simple blob storage server that can store, retrieve and delete
objects stored on local devices. Objects are stored as binary files on the filesystem with
metadata stored in the file's extended attributes (xattrs). This requires that the
underlying filesystem choice for object servers support xattrs on files. Some filesystems,
like ext3, have xattrs turned off by default. Each object is stored using a path derived
from the object name's hash and the operation's timestamp. Last write always wins, and
ensures that the latest object version will be served. A deletion is also treated as a
version of the file (a 0 byte file ending with ".ts", which stands for tombstone). This
ensures that deleted files are replicated correctly and older versions don't magically
reappear due to failure scenarios.
