Hi Guang, Does 'copy' works for your case? copying one objects inside one bucket would copy the head object only. The shadow objects are not copied. If rgw_max_chunk_objects is configured to be small(say 1-byte) then we have a 'symbolic link' like file. thanks, -yuan -----Original Message----- From: ceph-devel-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ceph-devel-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Guang Yang Sent: Tuesday, November 3, 2015 1:26 PM To: ceph-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Yehuda Sadeh Subject: Re: Symbolic links like feature on radosgw Hi Yehuda, We have a user requirement that needs symbolic link like feature on radosgw - two object ids pointing to the same object (ideally it could cross bucket, but same bucket is fine). The closest feature on Amazon S3 I could find is [1], but not exact the same, the one from Amazon S3 API was designed for static web site hosting. Is this a valid feature request we can put into radosgw? The way I am thinking to implement is like symbolic link, the link object just contains a pointer to the original object.
