Does Isilon object API support appending an object

Hi penny.zheng,

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but there is a OneFS API code samples file available here:

Hi Penny,

You are correct that the Isilon Swift does not support the manifest object.

With regards to any alternate approach, I'm curious about what your proposed workflow is for needing to append to an existing object.  Maybe we can find a different way to do this.

Thanks.

hi Rob,

I have many string segments in memory to be uploaded to a single object. According to the swift API/library, we can upload a file with a given path or  a string. In my seceno it's not ideal to write all segments to one file first. My current implementation is upload each segments as separate object, and use manifest to combine all objects to one.

when uploading a big file, python-swiftclient will iteratively read all small chunk and transfer them to server. But no library can be used in my level.

Any suggestion will be high appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Penny,

I cannot think of a client side library that can do what you need it to do.

The Isilon Swift implementation currently does not support the manifest object.  Could you ping your Isilon account SE and ask him/her to file a feature request?

Thanks.
