initial code repo
This patch creates initial code repo. For ceph, luminous stable release will be used for base code, and next changes and optimization for ceph will be added to it. For opensds, currently any changes can be upstreamed into original opensds repo (https://github.com/opensds/opensds), and so stor4nfv will directly clone opensds code to deploy stor4nfv environment. And the scripts for deployment based on ceph and opensds will be put into 'ci' directory. Change-Id: I46a32218884c75dda2936337604ff03c554648e4 Signed-off-by: Qiaowei Ren <qiaowei.ren@intel.com>

+===========================
+SDK for Ceph Object Classes
+===========================
+
+`Ceph` can be extended by creating shared object classes called `Ceph Object
+Classes`. The existing framework to build these object classes has dependencies
+on the internal functionality of `Ceph`, which restricts users to build object
+classes within the tree. The aim of this project is to create an independent
+object class interface, which can be used to build object classes outside the
+`Ceph` tree. This allows us to have two types of object classes, 1) those that
+have in-tree dependencies and reside in the tree and 2) those that can make use
+of the `Ceph Object Class SDK framework` and can be built outside of the `Ceph`
+tree because they do not depend on any internal implementation of `Ceph`. This
+project decouples object class development from Ceph and encourages creation
+and distribution of object classes as packages.
+
+In order to demonstrate the use of this framework, we have provided an example
+called ``cls_sdk``, which is a very simple object class that makes use of the
+SDK framework. This object class resides in the ``src/cls`` directory.
+
+Installing objclass.h
+---------------------
+
+The object class interface that enables out-of-tree development of object
+classes resides in ``src/include/rados/`` and gets installed with `Ceph`
+installation. After running ``make install``, you should be able to see it
+in ``<prefix>/include/rados``. ::
+
+ ls /usr/local/include/rados
+
+Using the SDK example
+---------------------
+
+The ``cls_sdk`` object class resides in ``src/cls/sdk/``. This gets built and
+loaded into Ceph, with the Ceph build process. You can run the
+``ceph_test_cls_sdk`` unittest, which resides in ``src/test/cls_sdk/``,
+to test this class.
