[glue-wg] new service type requests

[david.meredith at stfc.ac.uk]

Hi Paul, everyone, 
Thanks for the comments regarding the new service types; I've merged all pulls on the glue2 list except for the 'com.aws.s3' type which I'll leave as a pull request for now as I'm not sure whether this type should be added or not as per comments below. Note, this was already added to GOCDB: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=123503

This seems good.

I'm wondering whether this would be better as an InterfaceName_t.

S3 is a network protocol that different implementations support.  In principal, an implementation could support multiple object store protocols (e.g., CDMI, S3, Swift, ..).  For example, there are S3 gateways that use a Swift object-store; such a service could expose a Swift and S3 endpoints.

To my mind, a Service with service_t of com.aws.s3 would indicate Amazon's S3 service, or someone deploying the software Amazon is using.

In contrast to S3, the Ceph protocol is tightly under Ceph's (now
RedHat's) control, with applications achieving compatibility through the use of libradios.

Therefore, this as a service_t makes perfect sense.

HTH,

Paul.
