cloud-storage

When you look at a profile picture on a social networking site like Twitter, they store image files like: http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/1082228637/a-smile_twitter_100.jpg or even with a date somewhere in the path like 20110912. The only immediate benefit I can think of is preventing a bot from going through and downloading all files in your storage in a linear fashion. Am I missing any other benefits? What is the best way to go about randomizing it? I am using Amazon S3 so I will have one subdomain serving all my static content. My plan was to store an integer ID in my database and then

For the purpose of testing, I would like to mock Cloud Storage because it slows tests down. Is there Google Cloud Storage emulator? There isn't an official emulator provided by Google for the time being. I'm currently using project Minio ( https://www.minio.io/ ) for mocking Google Storage's behavior in development (Minio uses the filesystem as storage backend and provides compatibility with S3 apiV2, which is compatible with Google Storage). Google has an in-memory emulator you can use (majority of core functions are implemented). You need com.google.cloud:google-cloud-nio on your test

I would like to use Google Cloud Storage Client Library Functions . For that I have to import cloudstorage . To get the cloudstorage I download Google Cloud Storage client library . I try to import cloudstorage using python -c "import cloudstorage" . I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/Users/fghavamian/Documents/PhD_work/Codes/python/convnet_gcloud/cloudstorage/__init__.py", line 20, in <module> from .api_utils import RetryParams File "/Users/fghavamian/Documents/PhD_work/Codes/python/convnet_gcloud/cloudstorage/api_utils.py
