Introduction for FTS transfers with tokens
- basic draft sent by FTS team to wlcg-doma-bdt email group
- discussed related question about storage support for renaming files
- normal for disk storage, but not so common for TAPE
- no rename on CTA, name or path is used to decide which tape to use
- dCache use PNFSID for TAPE - no change during file rename
- StoRM?
- also not common for object storage
- rename would require a copy of data
- decouple token support in two independent steps (Brian)
- step 1: start with powerful tokens with delete (may be even delete whole storage)
- step 2: reduce token privilege
- make special upload area and atomic rename
- failed transfers could be safely cleaned
- CMS suggestion
- one token per RSE with storage.modify
- avoid temporary staging areas
