[Openstack] {Swift] On demand replication

[Mark Kirkwood]

Suppose you have a newly created object, and want to ensure it has 
replicated (i.e this object is 'special' in some way). If the 
replication process is taking a while, is it sensible to 'encourage' 
Swift replication via direct HTTP calls using the 'replicate' method (or 
is this dangerous)?

E.g:

markir@obj4:/srv/node/vdb/objects/5$ ls 55e
ls: cannot access '55e': No such file or directory

markir@obj1:~$ curl -v -X REPLICATE "http://obj4:6000/vdb/5/55e";

markir@obj4:/srv/node/vdb/objects/5$ sleep 30;ls 55e
