# storage policies are defined here and determine various characteristics
# about how objects are stored and treated.  Policies are specified by name on
# a per container basis.  Names are case-insensitive.  The policy index is
# specified in the section header and is used internally.  The policy with
# index 0 is always used for legacy containers and can be given a name for use
# in metadata however the ring file name will always be 'object.ring.gz' for
# backwards compatibility.  If no policies are defined a policy with index 0
# will be automatically created for backwards compatibility and given the name
# Policy-0.  A default policy is used when creating new containers when no
# policy is specified in the request.  If no other policies are defined the
# policy with index 0 will be declared the default.  If multiple policies are
# defined you must define a policy with index 0 and you must specify a
# default.  It is recommended you always define a section for
# storage-policy:0. Aliases are not required when defining a storage policy.
#
# A 'policy_type' argument is also supported but is not mandatory.  Default
# policy type 'replication' is used when 'policy_type' is unspecified.

# the following section would declare a policy called 'silver', the number of
# replicas will be determined by how the ring is built.  In this example the
# 'silver' policy could have a lower or higher # of replicas than the
# 'Policy-0' policy above.  The ring filename will be 'object-1.ring.gz'.  You
# may only specify one storage policy section as the default.  If you changed
# this section to specify 'silver' as the default, when a client created a new
# container w/o a policy specified, it will get the 'silver' policy because
# this config has specified it as the default.  However if a legacy container
# (one created with a pre-policy version of swift) is accessed, it is known
# implicitly to be assigned to the policy with index 0 as opposed to the
# current default. Note that even without specifying any aliases, a policy
# always has at least the default name stored in aliases because this field is
# used to contain all human readable names for a storage policy.

# The following declares a storage policy of type 'erasure_coding' which uses
# Erasure Coding for data reliability. Please refer to Swift documentation for
# details on how the 'erasure_coding' storage policy is implemented.
#
# Swift uses PyECLib, a Python Erasure coding API library, for encode/decode
# operations.  Please refer to Swift documentation for details on how to
# install PyECLib.
#
# When defining an EC policy, 'policy_type' needs to be 'erasure_coding' and
# EC configuration parameters 'ec_type', 'ec_num_data_fragments' and
# 'ec_num_parity_fragments' must be specified.  'ec_type' is chosen from the
# list of EC backends supported by PyECLib.  The ring configured for the
# storage policy must have it's "replica" count configured to
# 'ec_num_data_fragments' + 'ec_num_parity_fragments' - this requirement is
# validated when services start.  'ec_object_segment_size' is the amount of
# data that will be buffered up before feeding a segment into the
# encoder/decoder.  More information about these configuration options and
# supported `ec_type` schemes is available in the Swift documentation.  Please
# refer to Swift documentation for details on how to configure EC policies.
#
# The example 'deepfreeze10-4' policy defined below is a _sample_
# configuration with an alias of 'df10-4' as well as 10 'data' and 4 'parity'
# fragments. 'ec_type' defines the Erasure Coding scheme.
# 'liberasurecode_rs_vand' (Reed-Solomon Vandermonde) is used as an example
# below.
