show progress bar on upload

[Dafna Ron]

I think it would be helpful to show a progress bar when uploading/downloading a file using swift

currently, if we try to upload a large file we have no status on the upload:

[root@nott-vdsa tmp(keystone_admin)]# swift upload dafna rhel-server-x86_64-kvm-6.4_20130130.0-2-sda.qcow2

I have implement a new optional argument --progress to the swift upload (and download) command.
Implementation is done in

python-swiftclient/bin/swift
python-swiftclient/swiftclient/client.py

If --progress is given progress are printed to stdout.

However I do not know if this a bug that should be fixed.

Hi,
Sound a good idea.
Maybe should send your patch via gerrit : https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GerritWorkflow

Cheers,
Fabien

[Jonas Lundqvist (jonas-lundqvist)]

Yes, I will send the patch to Gerrit. I will do some additional tests on the patch first.

Hi,
I can't find --progress option. Is it implemented ?
Thank you.

Hi,
I do not now if it is implemented. I have not worked in this area for the
last two years. I have not done it, but it could be implemented by someone
else.

If we revist this it might be a good idea to see what tqdm can do for us:

I would really appreciate this feature since sometimes I need to download backup files which are are quite heavy and I have no idea of what's going on under the hood of the swift client.
