[Swift-user] Questions about configuration files

[Michael Wilde]

Hi Lorenzo,

For executing on Beagle, leave use.provider.staging set to false.

Its described in the more complete properties documentation, in the comments in the etc/swift.properties file in the Swift distribution etc/ directory.

Provider staging does data transfer to compute nodes using the Coaster protocol. For Beagle execution you want to leave that off, as Beagle nodes dont have much of a local filesystem to stage to (they just have /dev/shm, ie RAM disk).
