Thanks for the feedback, Randy.  I'll take this offline for now.  As I mentioned, I'm working on object storage portability from a java client perspective.  If anyone would like to be involved, please do drop me a line.

Cheers,

I do want to clarify that I think that eventually an extension to OCCI that allows integrating backends would be very useful.  Like the ability to pass in an object store URL and specify that meta-data should be pulled from it, or an object should be stored onto a disk prior to initial bootup.  Those would be very powerful possibilities.


Thanks,
