[Bug 1587261] [NEW] [SRU] Swift bucket X-Timestamp not set by Rados Gateway

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Frode Nordahl (fnordahl):

[Impact]

 * A basic characteristic of a object store is the ability to create
   buckets and objects and to query for information about said
   buckets and objects.

 * In the current version of the ceph radosgw package it is not
   possible to get creation time for buckets. This is a serious
   defect and makes it impossible to use Ubuntu with ceph as a
   object store for some applications.

 * The issue has been fixed upstream and this fix is slated for inclusion
   in the next stable release of Ceph Jewel.

 * The proposed debdiff solves the issue by including patches cherry
   picked or adapted from upstream master branch fixing this issue.

[Test Case]

 * Use Juju to deploy Ceph cluster with radosgw and relation to OpenStack
   Keystone. Example bundle: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23374308/

 * Install OpenStack Swift client

    sudo apt-get install python-swiftclient

 * Load OpenStack Credentials pointing to your test deployment

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack-charmers/openstack-bundles/master/development/shared/novarc
    . novarc

 * Create swift bucket

    swift post test

 * Display information about newly created bucket

    swift stat test

 * Observe that key 'X-Timestamp' has value 0.0

 * Delete bucket

    swift delete test

 * Install patched radosgw packages on 'ceph-radosgw' unit and repeat

 * Verify that key 'X-Timestamp' now has a value > 0.0 and
corrensponding to the unixtime of when you created the bucket.

[Regression Potential]

 * The patch is simple and I see little potential for any regression as a
   result of it being applied.

[Original bug description]
When creating a swift/radosgw bucket in horizon the bucket gets created, but shows up with a creation date of 19700101

In the apache log one can observe

curl -i http://10.11.140.241:80/swift/v1/bucket1 -I -H "X-Auth-Token:  ...
Container HEAD failed: http://10.11.140.241:80/swift/v1/bucket1 404 Not Found

However a manual curl call succeeds. Also the radosgw.log shows
successful PUT/GET requests.

I get similar results using the swift command line utility with
containers inheriting a creation date of 19700101 even though I can see
the correct date being passed to rados in the headers of the request.

Also similarly issues with ceilometer intergration, similarly linked:

This is using charm version: 86 against Openstack Mitaka

This also seems pretty reproduceable with any ceph, ceph-rados and
mitaka install via the juju charms.
