Hi,
We are looking at introducing extra policies to a Swift cluster that was
built essentially policy unaware (Swift 2.3). So currently all our
containers live in policy id 0 (with name of 'Policy-0'). We would like
to rename this so that the likes of 'swift stat' give a more human
readable name to this policy (e.g 'Default' or 'All-Regions'). Doing
some experimentation it looks like this is safe - but I'm asking here to
check that I have not missed anything that would nuke the cluster....
Note we are *not* wanting to meddle with the policy id number.
Yup, no real risk of changing of the name!
... other than if some clients were used to using it, and you're worried about that bit you could keep "Policy-0" around as an alias:
