INTRODUCTION

9   Introduction
10   Where to Start?
11       The  python-swiftclient  project  comprises a command line tool and two
12       separate APIs for accessing swift programmatically. Choosing  the  most
13       appropriate  method  for  a  given use case is the first problem a user
14       needs to solve.
15
16   Use Cases
17       Alongside the command line tool, the  python-swiftclient  includes  two
18       levels of API:
19
20       • A  low  level  client API that provides simple Python wrappers around
21         the various authentication mechanisms and  the  individual  HTTP  re‐
22         quests.
23
24       • A  high level service API that provides methods for performing common
25         operations in parallel on a thread pool.
26
27       Example use cases:
28
29
30
31         Uploading and retrieving data
32                Use the command line tool if  you  are  simply  uploading  and
33                downloading files and directories to and from your filesystem.
34                The command line tool can be integrated into a shell script to
35                automate tasks.
36
37
38
39         Integrating into an automated Python workflow
40                Use  the SwiftService API to perform operations offered by the
41                CLI if your use case requires integration with a  Python-based
42                workflow.   This method offers greater control and flexibility
43                over individual object operations, such as the metadata set on
44                each  object.  The SwiftService class provides methods to per‐
45                form multiple sets of operations against a swift object  store
46                using  a configurable shared thread pool. A single instance of
47                the SwiftService class can be shared between multiple  threads
48                in your own code.

51
52         Developing an application in Python to access a swift object store
53                Use  the  SwiftService API to develop Python applications that
54                use swift to store and retrieve objects.  A  SwiftService  in‐
55                stance  provides a configurable thread pool for performing all
56                operations supported by the CLI.
57
58
59
60         Fine-grained control over threading or the requests being performed
61                Use the Connection API if your use case requires fine  grained
62                control over advanced features or you wish to use your own ex‐
63                isting threading model. Examples of advanced features  requir‐
64                ing the use of the Connection API include creating an SLO man‐
65                ifest  that  references  already  existing  objects,  or  fine
66                grained control over the query strings supplied with each HTTP
67                request.
68
69   Important considerations
70       This section covers some important considerations, helpful  hints,  and
71       things to avoid when integrating an object store into your workflow.
72
73   An object store is not a filesystem
74       It cannot be stressed enough that your usage of the object store should
75       reflect the proper use case, and not treat the storage  like  a  tradi‐
76       tional  filesystem.   There  are  two main restrictions to bear in mind
77       when designing an application that uses an object store:
78
79       • You cannot rename objects. Due to fact that the name of an object  is
80         one  of the factors that determines where the object and its replicas
81         are stored, renaming would require multiple copies of the data to  be
82         moved  between physical storage devices. If you want to rename an ob‐
83         ject you must upload to the new location, or make a server side  copy
84         request to the new location, and then delete the original.
85
86       • You  cannot  modify objects. Objects are stored in multiple locations
87         and are checked for integrity based on the MD5 sum calculated  during
88         upload.  In order to modify the contents of an object, the entire de‐
89         sired contents must be re-uploaded. In certain special  cases  it  is
90         possible  to work around this restriction using large objects, but no
91         general file-like access is available to modify a stored object.
92
93   Objects cannot be locked
94       There  is  no  mechanism  to  perform  a  combination  of  reading  the
95       data/metadata  from  an object and writing an update to that data/meta‐
96       data in an atomic way. Any user with access to a container could update
97       the contents or metadata associated with an object at any time.
98
99       Workflows  that  assume  that  no updates have been made since the last
100       read of an object should be discouraged. Enabling a  workflow  of  this
101       type  requires  an external object locking mechanism and/or cooperation
102       between all clients accessing the data.

210       sion=AUTH_VERSION
211              Specify   a   version   for    authentication.    Defaults    to
212              env[ST_AUTH_VERSION],     env[OS_AUTH_VERSION],     env[OS_IDEN‐
213              TITY_API_VERSION] or 1.0.

225              Allow swiftclient to access servers without having to verify the
226              SSL  certificate.  Defaults to env[SWIFTCLIENT_INSECURE] (set to
227              'true' to enable).
228
229       --no-ssl-compression
230              This option is deprecated and not used anymore. SSL  compression
231              should be disabled by default by the system SSL library.
232
233       --prompt
234              Prompt  user  to  enter  a password which overrides any password
235              supplied via --key, --os-password or environment variables.
236
237   Authentication
238       This section covers the options for authenticating with a swift  object
239       store.  The  combinations  of  options required for each authentication
240       version are detailed below, but are just a subset of those that can  be
241       used to successfully authenticate. These are the most common and recom‐
242       mended combinations.
243
244       You should obtain the details of your authentication version  and  cre‐
245       dentials  from  your  storage  provider.  These  details should make it
246       clearer which of the authentication sections below are most  likely  to
247       allow you to connect to your storage account.
248
249   Keystone v3
250          swift --os-auth-url https://api.example.com:5000/v3 --auth-version 3 \
251                --os-project-name project1 --os-project-domain-name domain1 \
252                --os-username user --os-user-domain-name domain1 \
253                --os-password password list
254
255          swift --os-auth-url https://api.example.com:5000/v3 --auth-version 3 \
256                --os-project-id 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef \
257                --os-user-id abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789 \
258                --os-password password list
259
260       Manually  specifying  the  options  above  on  the  command line can be
261       avoided by setting the following combinations of environment variables:
262
263          ST_AUTH_VERSION=3
264          OS_USERNAME=user
265          OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=domain1
266          OS_PASSWORD=password
267          OS_PROJECT_NAME=project1
268          OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=domain1
269          OS_AUTH_URL=https://api.example.com:5000/v3
270
271          ST_AUTH_VERSION=3
272          OS_USER_ID=abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789
273          OS_PASSWORD=password
274          OS_PROJECT_ID=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef
275          OS_AUTH_URL=https://api.example.com:5000/v3
276
277   Keystone v2
278          swift --os-auth-url https://api.example.com:5000/v2.0 \
279                --os-tenant-name tenant \
280                --os-username user --os-password password list
281
282       Manually specifying the options  above  on  the  command  line  can  be
283       avoided by setting the following environment variables:
284
285          ST_AUTH_VERSION=2.0
286          OS_USERNAME=user
287          OS_PASSWORD=password
288          OS_TENANT_NAME=tenant
289          OS_AUTH_URL=https://api.example.com:5000/v2.0
290
291   Legacy auth systems
292       You can configure swift to work with any number of other authentication
293       systems that we will not  cover  in  this  document.  If  your  storage
294       provider is not using Keystone to provide access tokens, please contact
295       them for instructions on the required options. It is  likely  that  the
296       options will need to be specified as below:
297
298          swift -A https://api.example.com/v1.0 -U user -K api_key list
299
300       Specifying  the  options  above  manually  on  the  command line can be
301       avoided by setting the following environment variables:
302
303          ST_AUTH_VERSION=1.0
304          ST_AUTH=https://api.example.com/v1.0
305          ST_USER=user
306          ST_KEY=key
307
308       It is also possible that you need to use  a  completely  separate  auth
309       system,  in  which  case swiftclient cannot request a token for you. In
310       this case you should make the authentication request separately and ac‐
311       cess your storage using the token and storage URL options shown below:
312
313          swift --os-auth-token 6ee5eb33efad4e45ab46806eac010566 \
314                --os-storage-url https://10.1.5.2:8080/v1/AUTH_ced809b6a4baea7aeab61a \
315                list
316
317       NOTE:
318          Leftover environment variables are a common source of confusion when
319          authorization fails.
320
321   CLI commands
322   Auth
323          Usage: swift auth
324
325       Display authentication variables in shell friendly format.  Command  to
326       run  to  export  storage  URL  and  auth  token into OS_STORAGE_URL and
327       OS_AUTH_TOKEN: swift auth.  Command to append to a  runcom  file  (e.g.
328       ~/.bashrc, /etc/profile) for automatic authentication: swift auth -v -U
329       test:tester -K testing.
330
331   swift stat
332          Usage: swift stat [--lh] [--header <header:value>]
333                            [<container> [<object>]]
334
335       Displays information for the account, container, or object depending on
336       the  arguments given (if any). In verbose mode, the storage URL and the
337       authentication token are displayed as well.
338
339       Positional arguments:
340
341       [container]
342              Name of container to stat from.
343
344       [object]
345              Name of object to stat.
346
347       Optional arguments:
348
349       --lh   Report sizes in human readable format similar to ls -lh.
350
351       -H, --header <header:value>
352              Adds a custom request header to use for stat.
353
354   swift list
355          Usage: swift list [--long] [--lh] [--totals] [--prefix <prefix>]
356                            [--delimiter <delimiter>] [--header <header:value>]
357                            [<container>]
358
359       Lists the containers for the account or the objects  for  a  container.
360       The  -p  <prefix> or --prefix <prefix> is an option that will only list
361       items beginning with that prefix. The  -d  <delimiter>  or  --delimiter
362       <delimiter>  is  an option (for container listings only) that will roll
363       up items with the given delimiter (see OpenStack Swift general documen‐
364       tation <https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/> for what this means).
365
366       The  -l  and  --lh options provide more detail, similar to ls -l and ls
367       -lh, the latter providing sizes in human readable format (For  example:
368       3K,  12M,  etc).  The latter two switches use more overhead to retrieve
369       the displayed details, which is directly proportional to the number  of
370       container or objects listed.
371
372       Positional arguments:
373
374       [container]

738       the Swift cluster. To set a key, run swift post -m "Temp-URL-Key: <your
739       secret key>". To generate a prefix-based temporary URL use  the  --pre‐
740       fix-based  option. This URL will contain the path to the prefix. Do not
741       forget to append the desired objectname at the end of the path  portion
742       (and  before  the query portion) before sharing the URL. It is possible
743       to use ISO 8601 UTC timestamps within the URL by  using  the  --iso8601
744       option.
745
746       Positional arguments:
747
748       <method>
749              An  HTTP  method to allow for this temporary URL.  Usually 'GET'
750              or 'PUT'.
751
752       <seconds>
753              The amount of time in seconds the temporary URL  will  be  valid
754              for;  or,  if  --absolute is passed, the Unix timestamp when the
755              temporary URL will expire.
756
757       <path> The full path to the Swift object.
758
759              Example:                /v1/AUTH_account/c/o                 or:
760              http://saio:8080/v1/AUTH_account/c/o
761
762       <key>  The secret temporary URL key set on the Swift cluster.  To set a
763              key,           run           'swift           post            -m
764              "Temp-URL-Key:b3968d0207b54ece87cccc06515a89d4"'
765
766       Optional arguments:
767
768       --absolute
769              Interpret  the <seconds> positional argument as a Unix timestamp
770              rather than a number of seconds in the future.
771
772       --prefix-based
773              If present, a prefix-based tempURL will be generated.
774
775   Examples
776       In this section we present some example usage of the swift CLI. To keep
777       the examples as short as possible, these examples assume that the rele‐
778       vant authentication options have been set using environment  variables.
779       You  can  obtain the full list of commands and options available in the
780       swift CLI by executing the following:
781
782          > swift --help
783          > swift <command> --help
784
785   Simple examples
786       List the existing swift containers:
787
788          > swift list
789
790          container_1
791
792       Create a new container:
793
794          > swift post TestContainer
795
796       Upload an object into a container:
797
798          > swift upload TestContainer testSwift.txt
799
800          testSwift.txt
801
802       List the contents of a container:
803
804          > swift list TestContainer
805
806          testSwift.txt
807
808       Copy an object to new destination:
809
810          > swift copy -d /DestContainer/testSwift.txt SourceContainer testSwift.txt
811
812          SourceContainer/testSwift.txt copied to /DestContainer/testSwift.txt
813
814       Delete an object from a container:
815
816          > swift delete TestContainer testSwift.txt
817
818          testSwift.txt
819
820       Delete a container:
821
822          > swift delete TestContainer
823
824          TestContainer
825
826       Display auth related authentication variables in shell friendly format:
827
828          > swift auth
829
830          export OS_STORAGE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/AUTH_bf5e63572f7a420a83fcf0aa8c72c2c7
831          export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=c597015ae19943a18438b52ef3762e79
832
833       Download an object from a container:
834
835          > swift download TestContainer testSwift.txt
836
837          testSwift.txt [auth 0.028s, headers 0.045s, total 0.045s, 0.002 MB/s]
838
839       NOTE:
840          To upload an object to a container, your current  working  directory
841          must  be  where the file is located or you must provide the complete
842          path to the file.  In other words, the  --object-name  <object-name>
843          is  an option that will upload file and name object to <object-name>
844          or upload directory and use <object-name> as object prefix.  In  the
845          case  that  you provide the complete path of the file, that complete
846          path will be the name of the uploaded object.
847
848       For example:
849
850          > swift upload TestContainer /home/swift/testSwift/testSwift.txt
851
852          home/swift/testSwift/testSwift.txt
853
854          > swift list TestContainer
855
856          home/swift/testSwift/testSwift.txt
857
858   More complex examples
859       Swift has a single object size limit of 5GiB. In order to upload  files
860       larger  than  this,  we  must  create  a  large object that consists of
861       smaller segments.  The example below shows how to upload a large  video
862       file as a static large object in 1GiB segments:
863
864          > swift upload videos --use-slo --segment-size 1G myvideo.mp4
865
866          myvideo.mp4 segment 8
867          myvideo.mp4 segment 4
868          myvideo.mp4 segment 2
869          myvideo.mp4 segment 7
870          myvideo.mp4 segment 0
871          myvideo.mp4 segment 1
872          myvideo.mp4 segment 3
873          myvideo.mp4 segment 6
874          myvideo.mp4 segment 5
875          myvideo.mp4
876
877       This command will upload segments to a container named videos_segments,
878       and create a manifest file describing the entire object in  the  videos
879       container.   For  more information on large objects, see the documenta‐
880       tion here.
881
882          > swift list videos
883
884          myvideo.mp4
885

897
898       Firstly, the key should be set, then generate a  temporary  URL  for  a
899       Swift object:
900
901          > swift post -m "Temp-URL-Key:b3968d0207b54ece87cccc06515a89d4"
902
903          > swift tempurl GET 6000 /v1/AUTH_bf5e63572f7a420a83fcf0aa8c72c2c7\
904            /firstcontainer/clean.sh b3968d0207b54ece87cccc06515a89d4
905
906          /v1/AUTH_/firstcontainer/clean.sh?temp_url_sig=\
907          9218fc288cc09e5edd857b6a3d43cf2122b906dc&temp_url_expires=1472203614
908
909   The swiftclient.SwiftService API
910       A  higher-level API aimed at allowing developers an easy way to perform
911       multiple operations asynchronously using a  configurable  thread  pool.
912       Documentation   for  each  service  method  call  can  be  found  here:
913       swiftclient.service.
914
915   Authentication
916       This section covers the various options for authenticating with a swift
917       object store. The combinations of options required for each authentica‐
918       tion version are detailed below. Once again, these are just a subset of
919       those  that  can be used to successfully authenticate, but they are the
920       most common and recommended.
921
922       The relevant authentication options are presented as python  dictionar‐
923       ies that should be added to any other options you are supplying to your
924       SwiftService instance. As indicated in the python code,  you  can  also
925       set these options as environment variables that will be loaded automat‐
926       ically if the relevant option is not specified.
927
928       The SwiftService authentication attempts to  automatically  select  the
929       auth version based on the combination of options specified, but supply‐
930       ing options from multiple different auth versions can cause  unexpected
931       behaviour.
932
933       NOTE:
934          Leftover environment variables are a common source of confusion when
935          authorization fails.

980
981   Configuration
982       When you create an instance of a SwiftService, you can override a  col‐
983       lection  of  default  options to suit your use case. Typically, the de‐
984       faults are sensible to get us started, but depending on your needs  you
985       might  want  to  tweak  them  to improve performance (options affecting
986       large objects and thread counts can significantly alter performance  in
987       the right situation).
988
989       Service level defaults and some extra options can also be overridden on
990       a per-operation (or even in some cases per-object) basis, and you  will
991       call out which options affect which operations later in the document.
992
993       The configuration of the service API is performed using an options dic‐
994       tionary passed to the SwiftService during initialisation.  The  options
995       available  in this dictionary are described below, along with their de‐
996       faults:
997
998   Options
999       retries: 5
1000              The number of times that the library  should  attempt  to  retry
1001              HTTP actions before giving up and reporting a failure.
1002
1003       container_threads: 10
1004
1005       object_dd_threads: 10
1006
1007       object_uu_threads: 10
1008
1009       segment_threads: 10
1010              The  above  options  determine  the size of the available thread
1011              pools for  performing  swift  operations.  Container  operations
1012              (such  as listing a container) operate in the container threads,
1013              and a similar pattern applies to object and segment threads.
1014
1015              NOTE:
1016                 Object threads are separated into two separate thread  pools:
1017                 uu  and  dd.  This  stands  for  "upload/update"  and  "down‐
1018                 load/delete", and the corresponding actions will  be  run  on
1019                 separate threads pools.
1020
1021       segment_size: None
1022              If  specified,  this  option enables uploading of large objects.
1023              Should the object being uploaded be larger than 5G in size, this
1024              option  is mandatory otherwise the upload will fail. This option
1025              should be specified as a size in bytes.
1026
1027       use_slo: False
1028              Used in combination with the above option, use_slo  will  upload
1029              large  objects  as static rather than dynamic. Only static large
1030              objects provide error checking for the downloaded object, so  we
1031              recommend this option.
1032
1033       segment_container: None
1034              Allows  the user to select the container into which large object
1035              segments will be uploaded. We do  not  recommend  changing  this
1036              value as it could make locating orphaned segments more difficult
1037              in the case of errors.
1038
1039       leave_segments: False
1040              Setting this option to true means that when  deleting  or  over‐
1041              writing  a large object, its segments will be left in the object
1042              store and must be cleaned up manually. This option can be useful
1043              when  sharing  large object segments between multiple objects in
1044              more advanced scenarios, but must be treated with  care,  as  it
1045              could lead to ever increasing storage usage.
1046
1047       changed: None
1048              This  option affects uploads and simply means that those objects
1049              which already exist in the object store will not be  overwritten
1050              if  the mtime and size of the source is the same as the existing
1051              object.
1052
1053       skip_identical: False
1054              A slightly more thorough case of  the  above,  but  rather  than
1055              mtime and size uses an object's MD5 sum.
1056
1057       yes_all: False
1058              This  options affects only download and delete, and in each case
1059              must be specified in order to download/delete  the  entire  con‐
1060              tents  of  an  account.   This option has no effect on any other
1061              calls.
1062
1063       no_download: False
1064              This option only affects download and means that all  operations
1065              proceed  as normal with the exception that no data is written to
1066              disk.
1067
1068       header: []
1069              Used with upload and post operations to set headers on  objects.
1070              Headers  are  specified  as  colon separated strings, e.g. "con‐
1071              tent-type:text/plain".
1072
1073       meta: []
1074              Used to set metadata on an object similarly to headers.
1075
1076              NOTE:
1077                 Setting metadata is a destructive operation, so when updating
1078                 one  of  many metadata values all desired metadata for an ob‐
1079                 ject must be re-applied.
1080
1081       long: False
1082              Affects only list operations, and results in more metrics  being
1083              made  available  in  the results at the expense of lower perfor‐
1084              mance.
1085
1086       fail_fast: False
1087              Applies to delete and upload operations, and attempts  to  abort
1088              queued tasks in the event of errors.
1089
1090       prefix: None
1091              Affects list operations; only objects with the given prefix will
1092              be returned/affected. It is not advisable to set at the  service
1093              level, as those operations that call list to discover objects on
1094              which they should operate will also be affected.
1095
1096       delimiter: None
1097              Affects list operations, and means that  listings  only  contain
1098              results  up to the first instance of the delimiter in the object
1099              name. This is useful for working with objects containing '/'  in
1100              their names to simulate folder structures.
1101
1102       dir_marker: False
1103              Affects  uploads,  and allows empty 'pseudofolder' objects to be
1104              created when the source of an upload is None.
1105
1106       checksum: True
1107              Affects uploads and downloads. If set  check  md5  sum  for  the
1108              transfer.
1109
1110       shuffle: False
1111              When downloading objects, the default behaviour of the CLI is to
1112              shuffle lists of objects in order to spread the load on  storage
1113              drives  when  multiple clients are downloading the same files to
1114              multiple locations (e.g. in the event  of  distributing  an  up‐
1115              date).  When  using  the SwiftService directly, object downloads
1116              are scheduled in the same order as they appear in the  container
1117              listing.  When combined with a single download thread this means
1118              that objects are downloaded in lexically-sorted  order.  Setting
1119              this  option  to  True gives the same shuffling behaviour as the
1120              CLI.
1121
1122       destination: None
1123              When copying objects, this specifies the destination  where  the
1124              object  will  be copied to.  The default of None means copy will
1125              be the same as source.
1126
1127       fresh_metadata: None
1128              When copying objects, this specifies that the object metadata on
1129              the  source  will not be applied to the destination object - the
1130              destination object will have a new fresh set  of  metadata  that
1131              includes  only  the metadata specified in the meta option if any
1132              at all.
1133
1134       Other available options can be found in swiftclient/service.py  in  the
1135       source  code  for python-swiftclient. Each SwiftService method also al‐
1136       lows for an optional dictionary to override  those  specified  at  init
1137       time,  and  the  appropriate  docstrings show which options modify each
1138       method's behaviour.
1139
1140   Available Operations
1141       Each operation provided by the service API may raise  a  SwiftError  or
1142       ClientException  for  any  call  that fails completely (or a call which
1143       performs only one operation at an account or container level).  In  the
1144       case of a successful call an operation returns one of the following:
1145
1146       • A dictionary detailing the results of a single operation.
1147
1148       • An iterator that produces result dictionaries (for calls that perform
1149         multiple sub-operations).
1150
1151       A result dictionary can indicate either the success or  failure  of  an
1152       individual  operation  (detailed  in  the success key), and will either
1153       contain the successful result, or an error key detailing the error  en‐
1154       countered (usually an instance of Exception).
1155
1156       An example result dictionary is given below:
1157
1158          result = {
1159              'action': 'download_object',
1160              'success': True,
1161              'container': container,
1162              'object': obj,
1163              'path': path,
1164              'start_time': start_time,
1165              'finish_time': finish_time,
1166              'headers_receipt': headers_receipt,
1167              'auth_end_time': conn.auth_end_time,
1168              'read_length': bytes_read,
1169              'attempts': conn.attempts
1170          }
1171
1172       All the possible action values are detailed below:
1173
1174          [
1175              'stat_account',
1176              'stat_container',
1177              'stat_object',
1178              'post_account',
1179              'post_container',
1180              'post_object',
1181              'list_part',          # list yields zero or more 'list_part' results
1182              'download_object',
1183              'create_container',   # from upload
1184              'create_dir_marker',  # from upload
1185              'upload_object',
1186              'upload_segment',
1187              'delete_container',
1188              'delete_object',
1189              'delete_segment',     # from delete_object operations
1190              'capabilities',
1191          ]
1192
1193   Stat
1194       Stat  can  be  called against an account, a container, or a list of ob‐
1195       jects to get account stats, container stats or  information  about  the
1196       given objects. In the first two cases a dictionary is returned contain‐
1197       ing the results of the operation, and in the case of a list  of  object
1198       names  being  supplied, an iterator over the results generated for each
1199       object is returned.
1200
1201       Information returned includes the amount of data used by the given  ob‐
1202       ject/container/account  and  any headers or metadata set (this includes
1203       user set data as well as content-type and modification times).
1204
1205       See swiftclient.service.SwiftService.stat for docs generated  from  the
1206       method docstring.
1207
1208       Valid calls for this method are as follows:
1209
1210stat([options]): Returns stats for the configured account.
1211
1212stat(<container>, [options]): Returns stats for the given container.
1213
1214stat(<container>,  <object_list>,  [options]): Returns stats for each
1215         of the given objects in the given container (through the returned it‐
1216         erator).
1217
1218       Results from stat are dictionaries indicating the success or failure of
1219       each operation. In the case of a successful stat against an account  or
1220       container, the method returns immediately with one of the following re‐
1221       sults:
1222
1223          {
1224              'action': 'stat_account',
1225              'success': True,
1226              'items': items,
1227              'headers': headers
1228          }
1229
1230          {
1231              'action': 'stat_container',
1232              'container': <container>,
1233              'success': True,
1234              'items': items,
1235              'headers': headers
1236          }
1237
1238       In the case of stat called against a list of objects,  the  method  re‐
1239       turns  a  generator  that returns the results of individual object stat
1240       operations as they are performed on the thread pool:
1241
1242          {
1243              'action': 'stat_object',
1244              'object': <object_name>,
1245              'container': <container>,
1246              'success': True,
1247              'items': items,
1248              'headers': headers
1249          }
1250
1251       In the case of a failure the dictionary returned will indicate that the
1252       operation was not successful, and will include the keys below:
1253
1254          {
1255              'action': <'stat_object'|'stat_container'|'stat_account'>,
1256              'object': <'object_name'>,      # Only for stat with objects list
1257              'container': <container>,       # Only for stat with objects list or container
1258              'success': False,
1259              'error': <error>,
1260              'traceback': <trace>,
1261              'error_timestamp': <timestamp>
1262          }
1263
1264   Example
1265       The code below demonstrates the use of stat to retrieve the headers for
1266       a given list of objects in a container using 20 threads. The code  cre‐
1267       ates a mapping from object name to headers which is then pretty printed
1268       to the log.

1296
1297   List
1298       List can be called against an account or a container  to  retrieve  the
1299       containers or objects contained within them. Each call returns an iter‐
1300       ator that returns pages of results (by default, up to 10000 results  in
1301       each page).
1302
1303       See  swiftclient.service.SwiftService.list  for docs generated from the
1304       method docstring.
1305
1306       If the given container or account does not exist, the list method  will
1307       raise  a SwiftError, but for all other success/failures a dictionary is
1308       returned.  Each successfully listed page returns a  dictionary  as  de‐
1309       scribed below:
1310
1311          {
1312              'action': <'list_account_part'|'list_container_part'>,
1313              'container': <container>,      # Only for listing a container
1314              'prefix': <prefix>,            # The prefix of returned objects/containers
1315              'success': True,
1316              'listing': [Item],             # A list of results
1317                                             # (only in the event of success)
1318              'marker': <marker>             # The last item name in the list
1319                                             # (only in the event of success)
1320          }
1321
1322       Where an item contains the following keys:
1323
1324          {
1325              'name': <name>,
1326              'bytes': 10485760,
1327              'last_modified': '2014-12-11T12:02:38.774540',
1328              'hash': 'fb938269cbeabe4c234e1127bbd3b74a',
1329              'content_type': 'application/octet-stream',
1330              'meta': <metadata>    # Full metadata listing from stat'ing each object
1331                                    # this key only exists if 'long' is specified in options
1332          }
1333
1334       Any  failure  listing an account or container that exists will return a
1335       failure dictionary as described below:
1336
1337          {
1338              'action': <'list_account_part'|'list_container_part'>,,
1339              'container': container,         # Only for listing a container
1340              'prefix': options['prefix'],
1341              'success': success,
1342              'marker': marker,

1345              'error_timestamp': <timestamp>
1346          }
1347
1348   Example
1349       The code below demonstrates the use of list to list all items in a con‐
1350       tainer that are over 10MiB in size:
1351
1352          import logging
1353

1360          logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
1361
1362          container = argv[1]
1363          minimum_size = 10*1024**2
1364          with SwiftService() as swift:
1365              try:
1366                  list_parts_gen = swift.list(container=container)
1367                  for page in list_parts_gen:
1368                      if page["success"]:
1369                          for item in page["listing"]:
1370
1371                              i_size = int(item["bytes"])
1372                              if i_size > minimum_size:
1373                                  i_name = item["name"]
1374                                  i_etag = item["hash"]
1375                                  print(
1376                                      "%s [size: %s] [etag: %s]" %
1377                                      (i_name, i_size, i_etag)
1378                                  )
1379                      else:
1380                          raise page["error"]
1381
1382              except SwiftError as e:
1383                  logger.error(e.value)
1384
1385
1386   Post
1387       Post  can be called against an account, container or list of objects in
1388       order to update the metadata attached to the given items. In the  first
1389       two cases a single dictionary is returned containing the results of the
1390       operation, and in the case of a list of objects being supplied, an  it‐
1391       erator over the results generated for each object post is returned.
1392
1393       Each  element  of  the  object list may be a plain string of the object
1394       name, or a SwiftPostObject that allows finer control over  the  options
1395       and  metadata applied to each of the individual post operations. When a
1396       string is given for the object name, the options and  metadata  applied
1397       are  a  combination of those supplied to the call to post() and the de‐
1398       faults of the SwiftService object.
1399
1400       If the given container or account does not exist, the post method  will
1401       raise a SwiftError. Successful metadata update results are dictionaries
1402       as described below:
1403
1404          {
1405              'action': <'post_account'|'post_container'|'post_object'>,
1406              'success': True,
1407              'container': <container>,
1408              'object': <object>,
1409              'headers': {},
1410              'response_dict': <HTTP response details>
1411          }
1412
1413       NOTE:
1414          Updating user metadata keys will not only add  any  specified  keys,
1415          but  will  also  remove  user metadata that has previously been set.
1416          This means that each time user metadata is updated, the complete set
1417          of desired key-value pairs must be specified.
1418
1419   Example
1420       The code below demonstrates the use of post to set an archive folder in
1421       a given container to expire after a 24 hour delay:
1422
1423          import logging
1424
1425          from swiftclient.service import SwiftService, SwiftError
1426          from sys import argv
1427
1428          logging.basicConfig(level=logging.ERROR)
1429          logging.getLogger("requests").setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)

1456   Download
1457       Download can be called against an entire account, a  single  container,
1458       or  a  list of objects in a given container. Each element of the object
1459       list is a string detailing the full name of an object to download.
1460
1461       In order to download the full contents of an entire account,  you  must
1462       set  the value of yes_all to True in the options dictionary supplied to
1463       either the SwiftService instance or the call to download.
1464
1465       If the given container or account does not exist, the  download  method
1466       will  raise a SwiftError, otherwise an iterator over the results gener‐
1467       ated for each object download is returned.
1468
1469       See swiftclient.service.SwiftService.download for docs  generated  from
1470       the method docstring.
1471
1472       For  each  successfully  downloaded object, the results returned by the
1473       iterator will be a dictionary as described below (results are  not  re‐
1474       turned for completed container or object segment downloads):
1475
1476          {
1477              'action': 'download_object',
1478              'container': <container>,
1479              'object': <object name>,
1480              'success': True,
1481              'path': <local path to downloaded object>,
1482              'pseudodir': <if true, the download created an empty directory>,
1483              'start_time': <time download started>,

1489              'response_dict': <HTTP response details>
1490          }
1491
1492       Any failure uploading an object will return a failure dictionary as de‐
1493       scribed below:
1494

1500              'path': <local path of the failed download>,
1501              'pseudodir': <if true, the failed download was an empty directory>,
1502              'attempts': <attempt count>,

1509   Example
1510       The code below demonstrates the use of download to download all PNG im‐

1551
1552   Upload
1553       Upload  is  always  called  against an account and container and with a
1554       list of objects to upload. Each element of the object  list  may  be  a
1555       plain  string  detailing the path of the object to upload, or a SwiftU‐
1556       ploadObject that allows finer control over some aspects of the individ‐
1557       ual operations.
1558
1559       When  a simple string is supplied to specify a file to upload, the name
1560       of the object uploaded is the full path of the specified file  and  the
1561       options used for the upload are those supplied to the call to upload.
1562
1563       Constructing  a  SwiftUploadObject  allows the user to supply an object
1564       name for the uploaded file, and modify the options used  by  upload  at
1565       the granularity of individual files.
1566
1567       If  the  given  container  or account does not exist, the upload method
1568       will raise a SwiftError, otherwise an iterator over the results  gener‐
1569       ated for each object upload is returned.
1570
1571       See swiftclient.service.SwiftService.upload for docs generated from the
1572       method docstring.
1573
1574       For each successfully uploaded object (or object segment), the  results
1575       returned by the iterator will be a dictionary as described below:
1576
1577          {
1578              'action': 'upload_object',
1579              'container': <container>,
1580              'object': <object name>,
1581              'success': True,
1582              'status': <'uploaded'|'skipped-identical'|'skipped-changed'>,
1583              'attempts': <attempt count>,
1584              'response_dict': <HTTP response details>
1585          }
1586
1587          {
1588              'action': 'upload_segment',
1589              'for_container': <container>,
1590              'for_object': <object name>,
1591              'segment_index': <segment_index>,
1592              'segment_size': <segment_size>,
1593              'segment_location': <segment_path>
1594              'segment_etag': <etag>,
1595              'log_line': <object segment n>
1596              'success': True,
1597              'response_dict': <HTTP response details>,
1598              'attempts': <attempt count>
1599          }
1600
1601       Any failure uploading an object will return a failure dictionary as de‐
1602       scribed below:
1603
1604          {
1605              'action': 'upload_object',

1612              'error_timestamp': <timestamp>,
1613              'response_dict': <HTTP response details>
1614          }

1711
1712   Delete
1713       Delete  can  be  called against an account or a container to remove the
1714       containers or objects contained within them. Each call  to  delete  re‐
1715       turns an iterator over results of each resulting sub-request.
1716
1717       If  the  number  of requested delete operations is large and the target
1718       swift cluster is running the bulk middleware,  the  call  to  SwiftSer‐
1719       vice.delete  will  make  use of bulk operations and the returned result
1720       iterator  will  return  bulk_delete  results  rather  than   individual
1721       delete_object, delete_container or delete_segment results.
1722
1723       See swiftclient.service.SwiftService.delete for docs generated from the
1724       method docstring.
1725
1726       For each successfully deleted container, object or segment, the results
1727       returned by the iterator will be a dictionary as described below:
1728
1729          {
1730              'action': <'delete_object'|'delete_segment'>,

1753          }
1754
1755       Any  failure  in a delete operation will return a failure dictionary as
1756       described below:
1757
1758          {
1759              'action': ('delete_object'|'delete_segment'),

1791          }
1792
1793   Example
1794       The code below demonstrates the use of delete to remove a given list of
1795       objects  from  a  specified  container.  As the objects are deleted the
1796       transaction ID of the relevant request is printed along with the object
1797       name  and  number of attempts required. By printing the transaction ID,
1798       the printed operations can be easily linked  to  events  in  the  swift
1799       server logs:
1800
1801          import logging
1802
1803          from swiftclient.service import SwiftService
1804          from sys import argv
1805
1806
1807          logging.basicConfig(level=logging.ERROR)
1808          logging.getLogger("requests").setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)
1809          logging.getLogger("swiftclient").setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)
1810          logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
1811
1812          _opts = {'object_dd_threads': 20}
1813          container = argv[1]
1814          objects = argv[2:]
1815          with SwiftService(options=_opts) as swift:
1816              del_iter = swift.delete(container=container, objects=objects)
1817              for del_res in del_iter:
1818                  c = del_res.get('container', '')
1819                  o = del_res.get('object', '')
1820                  a = del_res.get('attempts')
1821                  if del_res['success'] and not del_res['action'] == 'bulk_delete':
1822                      rd = del_res.get('response_dict')
1823                      if rd is not None:
1824                          t = dict(rd.get('headers', {}))
1825                          if t:
1826                              print(
1827                                  'Successfully deleted {0}/{1} in {2} attempts '
1828                                  '(transaction id: {3})'.format(c, o, a, t)
1829                              )
1830                          else:
1831                              print(
1832                                  'Successfully deleted {0}/{1} in {2} '
1833                                  'attempts'.format(c, o, a)
1834                              )
1835
1836
1837   Copy
1838       Copy  can  be  called  to  copy an object or update the metadata on the
1839       given items.
1840
1841       Each element of the object list may be a plain  string  of  the  object
1842       name,  or  a SwiftCopyObject that allows finer control over the options
1843       applied  to  each  of  the  individual  copy  operations  (destination,
1844       fresh_metadata, options).
1845
1846       Destination  should be in format /container/object; if not set, the ob‐
1847       ject will be copied onto itself. Fresh_metadata sets mode of  operation
1848       on  metadata.  If  not  set,  current  object  user  metadata  will  be
1849       copied/preserved; if set, all current user metadata will be removed.
1850
1851       Returns an iterator over the results generated  for  each  object  copy
1852       (and may also include the results of creating destination containers).
1853
1854       When a string is given for the object name, destination and fresh meta‐
1855       data will default to None and None, which result in adding metadata  to
1856       existing objects.
1857
1858       Successful copy results are dictionaries as described below:
1859
1860          {
1861              'action': 'copy_object',
1862              'success': True,
1863              'container': <container>,
1864              'object': <object>,
1865              'destination': <destination>,
1866              'headers': {},
1867              'fresh_metadata': <boolean>,
1868              'response_dict': <HTTP response details>
1869          }
1870
1871       Any failure in a copy operation will return a failure dictionary as de‐
1872       scribed below:
1873
1874          {
1875              'action': 'copy_object',
1876              'success': False,
1877              'container': <container>,
1878              'object': <object>,
1879              'destination': <destination>,
1880              'headers': {},
1881              'fresh_metadata': <boolean>,
1882              'response_dict': <HTTP response details>,
1883              'error': <error>,
1884              'traceback': <traceback>,
1885              'error_timestamp': <timestamp>
1886          }
1887
1888   Example
1889       The code below demonstrates the use of copy to add  new  user  metadata
1890       for objects a and b, and to copy object c to d (with added metadata).
1891
1892          import logging

1920              except SwiftError as e:
1921                  logger.error(e.value)
1922
1923
1924   Capabilities
1925       Capabilities can be called against an account or a particular proxy URL
1926       in order to determine the capabilities of the swift cluster. These  ca‐
1927       pabilities  include details about configuration options and the middle‐
1928       wares that are installed in the proxy pipeline.
1929
1930       See swiftclient.service.SwiftService.capabilities  for  docs  generated
1931       from the method docstring.
1932
1933       For each successful call to list capabilities, a result dictionary will
1934       be returned with the contents described below:
1935
1936          {
1937              'action': 'capabilities',
1938              'timestamp': <time of the call>,
1939              'success': True,
1940              'capabilities': <dictionary containing capability details>
1941          }
1942
1943       The contents of the capabilities dictionary contain the core swift  ca‐
1944       pabilities  under  the key swift; all other keys show the configuration
1945       options for additional middlewares deployed in the proxy  pipeline.  An
1946       example capabilities dictionary is given below:

1992
1993   Example
1994       The code below demonstrates the use of capabilities to determine if the
1995       Swift cluster supports static large objects, and  if  so,  the  maximum
1996       number  of  segments  that  can be described in a single manifest file,
1997       along with the size restrictions on those objects:

2021   The swiftclient.Connection API
2022       A low level API that provides methods for  authentication  and  methods
2023       that correspond to the individual REST API calls described in the swift
2024       documentation.
2025
2026       For usage details see the client docs: swiftclient.client.

2028   Authentication
2029       This section covers the various combinations of  kwargs  required  when
2030       creating  an instance of the Connection object for communicating with a
2031       swift object store. The combinations of options required for  each  au‐
2032       thentication version are detailed below, but are just a subset of those
2033       that can be used to successfully authenticate. These are the most  com‐
2034       mon and recommended combinations.

2103   Examples
2104       In  this  section we present some simple code examples that demonstrate
2105       the usage of the Connection API. You can find full details of  the  op‐
2106       tions and methods available to the Connection API in the docstring gen‐
2107       erated documentation: swiftclient.client.
2108
2109       List the available containers:
2110
2111          resp_headers, containers = conn.get_account()
2112          print("Response headers: %s" % resp_headers)
2113          for container in containers:
2114              print(container)
2115
2116       Create a new container:

2119          conn.put_container(container)
2120          resp_headers, containers = conn.get_account()

CODE-GENERATED DOCUMENTATION

2167   swiftclient
2168       OpenStack Swift Python client binding.
2169
2170   swiftclient.authv1
2171       Authentication plugin for keystoneauth to support v1 endpoints.
2172
2173       Way back in the long-long ago, there was no  Keystone.  Swift  used  an
2174       auth  mechanism  now  known as "v1", which used only HTTP headers. Auth
2175       requests and responses would look something like:
2176
2177          > GET /auth/v1.0 HTTP/1.1
2178          > Host: <swift server>
2179          > X-Auth-User: <tenant>:<user>
2180          > X-Auth-Key: <password>
2181          >
2182          < HTTP/1.1 200 OK
2183          < X-Storage-Url: http://<swift server>/v1/<tenant account>
2184          < X-Auth-Token: <token>
2185          < X-Storage-Token: <token>
2186          <
2187
2188       This plugin provides a way for Keystone sessions (and clients that  use
2189       them,  like  python-openstackclient)  to communicate with old auth end‐
2190       points that still use this mechanism,  such  as  tempauth,  swauth,  or
2191       https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0
2192
2193       class  swiftclient.authv1.AccessInfoV1(auth_url,  storage_url, account,
2194       username, auth_token, token_life)
2195              An object for encapsulating a raw v1 auth token.
2196
2197              classmethod from_state(data)
2198                     Deserialize the given state.
2199
2200                     Returns
2201                            a new AccessInfoV1 object with the given state
2202
2203              get_state()
2204                     Serialize the current state.
2205
2206              will_expire_soon(stale_duration)
2207                     Determines if expiration is about to occur.
2208
2209                     Returns
2210                            true if expiration is within the given duration
2211
2212       class swiftclient.authv1.PasswordLoader
2213              Option handling for the v1password plugin.
2214
2215              property available
2216                     Return if the plugin is available for loading.
2217
2218                     If a plugin is missing dependencies  or  for  some  other
2219                     reason  should  not be available to the current system it
2220                     should override this property and return False to exclude
2221                     itself from the plugin list.
2222
2223                     Return type

2225
2226              create_plugin(**kwargs)
2227                     Create  a  plugin  from  the  options  available  for the
2228                     loader.
2229
2230                     Given the options that were specified by the loader  cre‐
2231                     ate an appropriate plugin. You can override this function
2232                     in your loader.
2233
2234                     This used to be specified by providing  the  plugin_class
2235                     property  and this is still supported, however specifying
2236                     a property didn't let you choose a plugin type based upon
2237                     the options that were presented.
2238
2239                     Override  this  function  if you wish to return different
2240                     plugins based on the options presented, otherwise you can
2241                     simply provide the plugin_class property.
2242

2244
2245              get_options()
2246                     Return  the  list  of parameters associated with the auth
2247                     plugin.
2248
2249                     This list may be used to generate  CLI  or  config  argu‐
2250                     ments.
2251
2252              load_from_options(**kwargs)
2253                     Create a plugin from the arguments retrieved from get_op‐
2254                     tions.
2255
2256                     A client can override this function to do argument  vali‐
2257                     dation  or  to  handle differences between the registered
2258                     options and what is required to create the plugin.
2259
2260              load_from_options_getter(getter, **kwargs)
2261                     Load a plugin from getter function that returns appropri‐
2262                     ate values.
2263
2264                     To  handle  cases  other  than  the provided CONF and CLI
2265                     loading you can specify a  custom  loader  function  that
2266                     will  be  queried  for the option value.  The getter is a
2267                     function that takes a keystoneauth1.loading.Opt  and  re‐
2268                     turns a value to load with.
2269
2270                     Parameters
2271                            getter  (callable)  --  A  function that returns a
2272                            value for the given opt.
2273
2274                     Returns
2275                            An authentication Plugin.
2276
2277                     Return type
2278                            keystoneauth1.plugin.BaseAuthPlugin
2279
2280              plugin_class

2282
2283       class swiftclient.authv1.PasswordPlugin(auth_url,  username,  password,
2284       project_name=None, reauthenticate=True)
2285              A plugin for authenticating with a username and password.
2286
2287              Subclassing from BaseIdentityPlugin gets us a few niceties, like
2288              handling token invalidation and locking during authentication.

2384interface  --  Type of endpoint. Can be a single
2385                              value or a list of values. If  it's  a  list  of
2386                              values,  they  will  be  looked  for in order of
2387                              preference.      Can      also      be      key‐
2388                              stoneauth1.plugin.AUTH_INTERFACE   to   indicate
2389                              that the auth_url should be used instead of  the
2390                              value  in  the  catalog.  (optional, defaults to
2391                              public)
2392
2393region_name (string) -- The region the  endpoint

2398
2399version -- The minimum version  number  required
2400                              for this endpoint. (optional)

2408
2409skip_discovery (bool) -- Whether to skip version
2410                              discovery even if a version has been given. This
2411                              is useful if endpoint_override  or  similar  has
2412                              been  given  and grabbing additional information
2413                              about the endpoint is not useful.
2414
2415discover_versions (bool) -- Whether to get  ver‐

2418                              major version request. Defaults to False because
2419                              get_endpoint doesn't need  metadata.  (optional,
2420                              defaults to False)
2421
2422min_version  --  The minimum version that is ac‐

2434
2435                     Returns
2436                            The major version of the API of the  service  dis‐
2437                            covered.

2439                     Return type
2440                            tuple or None
2441
2442                     NOTE:
2443                        Implementation  notes follow. Users should not need to
2444                        wrap their head  around  these  implementation  notes.
2445                        get_api_major_version  should do what is expected with
2446                        the least possible cost while still  consistently  re‐
2447                        turning a value if possible.
2448
2449                     There  are many cases when major version can be satisfied
2450                     without actually calling  the  discovery  endpoint  (like
2451                     when  the version is in the url). If the user has a cloud
2452                     with the versioned endpoint https://volume.example.com/v3
2453                     in the catalog for the block-storage service and they do:
2454
2455                        client = adapter.Adapter(
2456                            session, service_type='block-storage', min_version=2,
2457                            max_version=3)
2458                        volume_version = client.get_api_major_version()
2459
2460                     The  version actually be returned with no api calls other
2461                     than   getting    the    token.    For    that    reason,
2462                     get_api_major_version()  first  calls get_endpoint_data()
2463                     with discover_versions=False.
2464
2465                     If their catalog has an unversioned endpoint https://vol
2466                     ume.example.com for the block-storage service and they do
2467                     this:
2468
2469                        client = adapter.Adapter(session, service_type='block-storage')
2470
2471                     client is now set up to "use whatever is in the catalog".
2472                     Since the url doesn't have a version, get_endpoint_data()
2473                     with  discover_versions=False  will  result  in  api_ver‐
2474                     sion=None.   (No  version was requested so it didn't need
2475                     to do the round trip)
2476
2477                     In order to find out what version the  endpoint  actually
2478                     is,  we must make a round trip. Therefore, if api_version
2479                     is None after  the  first  call,  get_api_major_version()
2480                     will  make a second call to get_endpoint_data() with dis‐
2481                     cover_versions=True.
2482
2483              get_auth_ref(session, **kwargs)
2484                     Obtain a token from a v1 endpoint.
2485
2486                     This function should not be called independently  and  is
2487                     expected to be invoked via the do_authenticate function.
2488
2489                     This  function  will  be  invoked if the AcessInfo object
2490                     cached by the plugin is not valid.  Thus  plugins  should
2491                     always  fetch  a  new AccessInfo when invoked. If you are
2492                     looking to just retrieve the current auth data  then  you
2493                     should use get_access.
2494
2495                     Parameters
2496                            session  --  A session object that can be used for
2497                            communication.
2498
2499                     Returns
2500                            Token access information.
2501
2502              get_auth_state()
2503                     Retrieve the current authentication state for the plugin.
2504
2505                     Returns
2506                            raw python data (which  can  be  JSON  serialized)
2507                            that can be moved into another plugin (of the same
2508                            type) to have the same authenticated state.
2509
2510              get_cache_id()
2511                     Fetch an identifier that uniquely identifies the auth op‐
2512                     tions.
2513
2514                     The  returned identifier need not be decomposable or oth‐
2515                     erwise provide any way to recreate the plugin.
2516
2517                     This string MUST change if any of the parameters that are
2518                     used  to  uniquely identity this plugin change. It should
2519                     not change upon a reauthentication of the plugin.
2520
2521                     Returns
2522                            A unique string for the set of options
2523
2524                     Return type

2532                     Return  any additional connection parameters required for
2533                     the plugin.
2534
2535                     Parameters
2536                            session  (keystoneauth1.session.Session)  --   The
2537                            session object that the auth_plugin belongs to.
2538
2539                     Returns
2540                            Headers  that are set to authenticate a message or
2541                            None for failure. Note  that  when  checking  this
2542                            value  that the empty dict is a valid, non-failure
2543                            response.
2544

2550
2551                     Check the session and the plugin cache to see if we  have
2552                     already  performed  discovery on the URL and if so return
2553                     it, otherwise create a new discovery object, cache it and
2554                     return it.
2555
2556                     This  function  is  expected to be used by subclasses and
2557                     should not be needed by users.

2651                              ceptable. Mutually exclusive  with  version.  If
2652                              min_version  is  given with no max_version it is

2663                            ror from an invalid HTTP response.
2664
2665                     Returns
2666                            Valid EndpointData or None if not available.
2667
2668                     Return type
2669                            keystoneauth1.discover.EndpointData or None
2670
2671              get_headers(session, **kwargs)
2672                     Fetch authentication headers for message.
2673
2674                     This is a  more  generalized  replacement  of  the  older
2675                     get_token  to allow plugins to specify different or addi‐
2676                     tional authentication headers to the  OpenStack  standard
2677                     'X-Auth-Token' header.
2678
2679                     How  the authentication headers are obtained is up to the
2680                     plugin. If the  headers  are  still  valid  they  may  be
2681                     re-used, retrieved from cache or the plugin may invoke an
2682                     authentication request against a server.
2683
2684                     The  default  implementation  of  get_headers  calls  the
2685                     get_token  method  to  enable older style plugins to con‐
2686                     tinue functioning unchanged.  Subclasses should feel free
2687                     to completely override this function to provide the head‐
2688                     ers that they want.
2689
2690                     There are no required kwargs. They are passed directly to
2691                     the auth plugin and they are implementation specific.
2692
2693                     Returning None will indicate that no token was able to be
2694                     retrieved and that authorization was a failure. Adding no
2695                     authentication data can be achieved by returning an empty
2696                     dictionary.
2697
2698                     Parameters
2699                            session  (keystoneauth1.session.Session)  --   The
2700                            session object that the auth_plugin belongs to.
2701
2702                     Returns
2703                            Headers  that are set to authenticate a message or
2704                            None for failure. Note  that  when  checking  this
2705                            value  that the empty dict is a valid, non-failure
2706                            response.
2707

2713
2714                     Wherever possible the project id should be inferred  from
2715                     the token however there are certain URLs and other places
2716                     that  require  access  to  the  currently   authenticated
2717                     project id.

2790
2791                     Parameters

2805
2806                     A plugin may be invalidated if an Unauthorized  HTTP  re‐
2807                     sponse  is  returned  to indicate that the token may have
2808                     been revoked or is otherwise now invalid.

2812                            invalidate.  This means that it makes sense to try
2813                            again. If nothing happens returns False  to  indi‐
2814                            cate give up.
