Dan Mick 4cb0e06266 Add 'ceph-rest-api'
ceph-rest-api is a Python WSGI module for accessing the Ceph cluster.
It supports most of the commands supported by the ceph CLI,
appropriately translated to HTTP GET/PUT requests.  It is not a
truly RESTful interface.

Not supported at this moment: "tell", "pg <pgid>", and "daemon"
commands.

Configuration options are specified in ceph.conf, specified with
-c/--conf or obtained from $CEPH_CONF, /etc/ceph/ceph.conf,
~/.ceph/ceph.conf, or ./ceph.conf.

-n/--name specifies the client name, used for the cluster
authentication key and for the ceph.conf section name (default
is client.restapi).

        restapi keyring = <keyring file>
        restapi public addr = listenIP:port (default 0.0.0.0:5000)
        restapi base url = <base path> (default /api/v0.1)
        restapi log level = (error, warning, info, debug)
        restapi log file = (default /var/log/ceph/<clientname>.log)

Primitive human-level command discovery is supported; GET from
BASEURL (say, http://localhost:5000/api/v0.1) will show an HTML
table of all commands and arguments, method supported, and help strings.

Building Ceph
=============
To prepare the source tree after it has been git cloned,
$ git submodule update --init
To build the server daemons, and FUSE client, execute the following:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
(Note that the FUSE client will only be built if libfuse is present.)
Dependencies
------------
The configure script will complain about any missing dependencies as
it goes. You can also refer to debian/control or ceph.spec.in for the
package build dependencies on those platforms. In many cases,
dependencies can be avoided with --with-foo or --without-bar switches.
For example,
$ ./configure --with-nss # use libnss instead of libcrypto++
$ ./configure --without-radosgw # do not build radosgw and avoid libfcgi-dev
$ ./configure --without-tcmalloc # avoid google-perftools dependency
Building packages
-----------------
You can build packages for Debian or Debian-derived (e.g., Ubuntu)
systems with
$ sudo apt-get dpkg-dev
$ dpkg-checkbuilddeps # make sure we have all dependencies
$ dpkg-buildpackage
For RPM-based systems (Redhat, Suse, etc.),
$ rpmbuild
Building the Documentation
==========================
Prerequisites
-------------
To build the documentation, you must install the following:
- python-dev
- python-pip
- python-virtualenv
- doxygen
- ditaa
- libxml2-dev
- libxslt-dev
- dot
- graphviz
For example:
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip python-virtualenv doxygen ditaa libxml2-dev libxslt-dev dot graphviz
Building the Documentation
--------------------------
To build the documentation, ensure that you are in the top-level `/ceph directory, and execute the build script. For example:
$ admin/build-doc
