Note that swift doesn't have any concept of non-shared filesystem 
management at the moment - if you want to keep files on a worker-local 
file system that is not accessible to the entire site, Swift doesn't have 
any way of getting a job to run somewhere where it can access that same 
filesystem.

We've talked about worker-local storage management before and agreed that 
it was both and long and hard thing to make happen.

So its interesting to see your experiences in this field, but its probably 
very out of scope for any imminent develoment work.
