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>

+===================
+ Object Operations
+===================
+
+An object is a container for storing data and metadata. A container may
+have many objects, but the object names must be unique. This API enables a
+client to create an object, set access controls and metadata, retrieve an
+object's data and metadata, and delete an object. Since this API makes requests
+related to information in a particular user's account, all requests in this API
+must be authenticated unless the container or object's access control is
+deliberately made publicly accessible (i.e., allows anonymous requests).
+
+
+Create/Update an Object
+=======================
+
+To create a new object, make a ``PUT`` request with the API version, account,
+container name and the name of the new object. You must have write permission
+on the container to create or update an object. The object name must be
+unique within the container. The ``PUT`` request is not idempotent, so if you
+do not use a unique name, the request will update the object. However, you may
+use pseudo-hierarchical syntax in your object name to distinguish it from
+another object of the same name if it is under a different pseudo-hierarchical
+directory. You may include access control headers and metadata headers in the
+request.
+
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ PUT /{api version}/{account}/{container}/{object} HTTP/1.1
+ Host: {fqdn}
+ X-Auth-Token: {auth-token}
+
+
+Request Headers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``ETag``
+
+:Description: An MD5 hash of the object's contents. Recommended.
+:Type: String
+:Required: No
+
+
+``Content-Type``
+
+:Description: The type of content the object contains.
+:Type: String
+:Required: No
+
+
+``Transfer-Encoding``
+
+:Description: Indicates whether the object is part of a larger aggregate object.
+:Type: String
+:Valid Values: ``chunked``
+:Required: No
+
+
+Copy an Object
+==============
+
+Copying an object allows you to make a server-side copy of an object, so that
+you don't have to download it and upload it under another container/name.
+To copy the contents of one object to another object, you may make either a
+``PUT`` request or a ``COPY`` request with the API version, account, and the
+container name. For a ``PUT`` request, use the destination container and object
+name in the request, and the source container and object in the request header.
+For a ``Copy`` request, use the source container and object in the request, and
+the destination container and object in the request header. You must have write
+permission on the container to copy an object. The destination object name must be
+unique within the container. The request is not idempotent, so if you do not use
+a unique name, the request will update the destination object. However, you may
+use pseudo-hierarchical syntax in your object name to distinguish the destination
+object from the source object of the same name if it is under a different
+pseudo-hierarchical directory. You may include access control headers and metadata
+headers in the request.
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ PUT /{api version}/{account}/{dest-container}/{dest-object} HTTP/1.1
+ X-Copy-From: {source-container}/{source-object}
+ Host: {fqdn}
+ X-Auth-Token: {auth-token}
+
+
+or alternatively:
+
+::
+
+ COPY /{api version}/{account}/{source-container}/{source-object} HTTP/1.1
+ Destination: {dest-container}/{dest-object}
+
+Request Headers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``X-Copy-From``
+
+:Description: Used with a ``PUT`` request to define the source container/object path.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes, if using ``PUT``
+
+
+``Destination``
+
+:Description: Used with a ``COPY`` request to define the destination container/object path.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes, if using ``COPY``
+
+
+``If-Modified-Since``
+
+:Description: Only copies if modified since the date/time of the source object's ``last_modified`` attribute.
+:Type: Date
+:Required: No
+
+
+``If-Unmodified-Since``
+
+:Description: Only copies if not modified since the date/time of the source object's ``last_modified`` attribute.
+:Type: Date
+:Required: No
+
+``Copy-If-Match``
+
+:Description: Copies only if the ETag in the request matches the source object's ETag.

+
+:Description: Copies only if the ETag in the request does not match the source object's ETag.
+:Type: ETag.
+:Required: No
+
+
+Delete an Object
+================
+
+To delete an object, make a ``DELETE`` request with the API version, account,
+container and object name. You must have write permissions on the container to delete
+an object within it. Once you have successfully deleted the object, you will be able to
+reuse the object name.
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ DELETE /{api version}/{account}/{container}/{object} HTTP/1.1
+ Host: {fqdn}
+ X-Auth-Token: {auth-token}
+
+
+Get an Object
+=============
+
+To retrieve an object, make a ``GET`` request with the API version, account,
+container and object name. You must have read permissions on the container to
+retrieve an object within it.
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ GET /{api version}/{account}/{container}/{object} HTTP/1.1
+ Host: {fqdn}
+ X-Auth-Token: {auth-token}
+
+
+
+Request Headers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``range``
+
+:Description: To retrieve a subset of an object's contents, you may specify a byte range.

+
+``If-Modified-Since``
+
+:Description: Only copies if modified since the date/time of the source object's ``last_modified`` attribute.

+
+
+``Copy-If-None-Match``
+
+:Description: Copies only if the ETag in the request does not match the source object's ETag.
+:Type: ETag.
+:Required: No
+
+
+
+Response Headers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``Content-Range``
+
+:Description: The range of the subset of object contents. Returned only if the range header field was specified in the request
+
+
+Get Object Metadata
+===================
+
+To retrieve an object's metadata, make a ``HEAD`` request with the API version,
+account, container and object name. You must have read permissions on the
+container to retrieve metadata from an object within the container. This request
+returns the same header information as the request for the object itself, but
+it does not return the object's data.
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ HEAD /{api version}/{account}/{container}/{object} HTTP/1.1
+ Host: {fqdn}
+ X-Auth-Token: {auth-token}
+
+
+
+Add/Update Object Metadata
+==========================
+
+To add metadata to an object, make a ``POST`` request with the API version,
+account, container and object name. You must have write permissions on the
+parent container to add or update metadata.
+
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+::
+
+ POST /{api version}/{account}/{container}/{object} HTTP/1.1
+ Host: {fqdn}
+ X-Auth-Token: {auth-token}
+
+Request Headers
