Jelmer Kuperus created FLINK-8432:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Add openstack swift filesystem
Key: FLINK-8432
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8432
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: filesystem-connector
Affects Versions: 1.4.0
Reporter: Jelmer Kuperus
At ebay classifieds we started running our infrastructure on top of OpenStack.
The openstack project comes with its own amazon-s3-like filesystem, known as
Swift. It's built for scale and optimized for durability, availability, and
concurrency across the entire data set. Swift is ideal for storing unstructured
data that can grow without bound.
We would really like to be able to use it within flink, as a sink or for
storing savepoints etc
I've prepared a pull request that adds support for it. It wraps the hadoop
support for swift in a way that is very similar to the way the s3 connector
works.
You can find out more about the underlying hadoop implementation at
