Containers now have a storage policy index associated with them,
stored in the container_stat table. This index is only settable at
container creation time (PUT request), and cannot be changed without
deleting and recreating the container. This is because a container's
policy index will apply to all its objects, so changing a container's
policy index would require moving large amounts of object data
around. If a user wants to change the policy for data in a container,
they must create a new container with the desired policy and move the
data over.
Keep status_changed_at up-to-date with status changes.
In particular during container recreation and replication.
When a container-server receives a PUT for a deleted database an extra UPDATE
is issued against the container_stat table to notate the x-timestamp of the
request.
During replication if merge_timestamps causes a container's status to change
(from DELETED to ACTIVE or vice-versa) the status_changed_at field is set to
the current time.
Accurate reporting of status_changed_at is useful for container replication
forensics and allows resolution of "set on create" attributes like the
upcoming storage_policy_index.
Expose Backend container info on deleted containers.
Include basic container info in backend headers on 404 responses from the
container server. Default empty values are used as placeholders if the
database does not exist.
Specifically the X-Backend-Status-Changed-At, X-Backend-DELETE-Timestamp and
the X-Backend-Storage-Policy-Index value will be needed by the reconciler to
deal with reconciling out of order object writes in the face of recently
deleted containers.
* Add "status_changed_at" key to the response from ContainerBroker.get_info.
* Add "Status Timestamp" field to swift.cli.info.print_db_info_metadata.
* Add "status_changed_at" key to the response from AccountBroker.get_info.
