OpenStack Folsom Design Summit

The proposal is to add versioning support to Swift by adding distributed deduplication support at the same time. An alternate ring is proposed that breaks objects into uniquely named Version Manifests and deduplicated Chunks. The presentation will cover how this system would work and how it would co-exist with current Swift rings. An etherpad description of the project has been posted to http://etherpad.openstack.org/P9MMYSWE6U (Session lead is Caitlin Bestler)
