Open Stack

Woops, the chapter isn't missing, nor is the information. Scott, you'll
find it in
http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/content/create-container.html-
you can assign metadata when you create the container.

I'll let one of the Swift devs answer about the ability to update container
metadata (which is I think the use case you're pursuing).
