.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The Swift Proxy Server is responsible for tying together the rest of the Swift architecture.
|
|
For each request, it will look up the location of the account, container, or object in the
|
|
ring and route the request accordingly. The public API is also exposed through the Proxy
|
|
Server. A large number of failures are also handled in the Proxy Server. For example,
|
|
if a server is unavailable for an object PUT, it will ask the ring for a handoff server
|
|
and route there instead. When objects are streamed to or from an object server, they are
|
|
streamed directly through the proxy server to or from the user the proxy server does
|
|
not spool them.
