Does Isilon 8.0 support python-swiftclient?
hi guys,
I am working on a project to use isilon as swift storage. And my previous implementation has support openstak swift by using python-swiftclient library.
The Technote of version 7.2 clarify that Isilon Swift supports Swift command-line client and the Python-Swiftclient library. while the version 8.0 say Isilon Swift supports "OpenStack Swift 1.0 request and response API, OpenStack Swift authentication 1.0". but "doesn't support pyswift-client".
Does it mean we can no longer use "swift" command to operate account/container/object in Isilon? Can someone check this for me?

Hi penny.zheng,
If it is stated in the technical documentation that it is not supported, then no, it is not supported. To further clarify though, I believe it is because pyswift-client uses a later version of OpenStack. I would think that some commands would still work, but not all, which means Isilon has to list it as unsupported.
8.0 did introduce Isilon SDK. It is not swift, but it is a RESTful Namespace API that works with the python language (but not python swift). You can find the documentation here:
