Object Storage API document does not contain expiring objects

[Anne Gentle]

The 1.4.4. release of Object Storage contains changes to support object versioning and conditional PUTs but the document in object-api has not yet been updated.

[John Dickinson (notmyname)]

What are conditional PUTs? I don't think swift supports those (beyond the standard If-Match headers. etc).

[Anne Gentle (annegentle)]

Stephen, could you comment on the request for information about conditional PUTs?

John, when I inquired via email in response to Stephen's email, he simply pasted https://launchpad.net/swift/essex/1.4.4 as the response.

Let's find out more so we can pinpoint the changes.

Turns out that the 1.4.4 release does not have Object Versioning or
Conditional PUTs.
Looks like there are no external API changes for this release.

Hi Stephen, I confirmed that there are changes in the 1.4.5 release that affect the Object API document, adding the ability to "expire" objects after a date or amount of time has passed. I've got those edits in a draft and will submit it through the review process. I'm marking this for the final Essex release but please know we'll get it in sooner rather than later. Thanks!

[Stephen A. Broeker (sbroeker)]

Good work.
I went back through the release notes, and it seems I did overlook some new
features.
How about Container Mirroring?

I'm not sure about container mirroring. I do have edits about expiring objects that I'll get into the repo asap.

[Stephen A. Broeker (sbroeker)]

I am working on updating this thing.

This review should cover this bug: https://review.openstack.org/#change,5829.

[Pete Zaitcev (zaitcev)]

I'm confused, is anything left for us to do in Swift that Anne's fix did not cover?

(marking incomplete - I think we don't have anything)

[Anne Gentle (annegentle)]

This is fixed in the object-api repo, so no need to continue tracking with in the swift Launchpad project. Wasn't sure how to remove its link to swift, so just commenting. Feel free to take next step as needed.
