Swift multiple instance support

	Description - support multiple swift clusters running on same server
	Target - enterprise
	Rationale - enterprises would likely value having capability of sharing infrastructure for running
	multiple, separate swift clusters. A separate cluster may be needed/desired for: different versions
	of swift, different swift middleware, separation of admin. duties, different lines of business
	Similarities - Oracle and DB2 support such functionality for enterprises
	Work needed - support for unique ports and paths
	Technical effort - small
	Community adoption - idea needs to be sold
	Payoff - small/medium (remove barrier)

Thoughts on openstack dev environment setup

	Disruptive
	==========
	Random UI focus changes on ThinkPad Yoga 12 (Win8.1)
	Frequently experience low-memory conditions (8GB RAM, no VMs)
	"Close programs to prevent information loss"
	"Your computer is low on memory. Save your files and close these programs:"
	"Microsoft Outlook"
	Win8 UI/Usability
	Frequent reboots required by Windows and Intel corporate updates

Swift handoffs

	QUESTION
	========
	how is a handoff partition flagged versus a partition that is marked to be moved during a rebalance?

	ANSWER (notmyname)
	======
	"handoff" is only a thing defined by the results of the call to get_more_nodes(). it's not a concept that means anything with regards to rebalancing. ie it's not "flagged" or anything. handoffs are just an ordered walk through the ring
