Description

If someone is looking to migrate to Ambry after trying out other options, they might have some files on-premise or some other object store. So, definitely they might be looking to migrate those to ambry in a simpler manner. Would be great if we have a migrator service.

Some requirements for a migrator service:
1. Given a root directory, the migrator service should upload all files to ambry and return a map of file names(with paths) to AmbryIds.
2. Define an interface so that the migrator service can poll a service for objects and uploads to ambry. For instance, from hdfs or amazon S3.

Research direction

No implementation files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Ambry's existing upload and service boundaries, then define how a root-directory migration returns file paths mapped to AmbryIds and how polling sources such as HDFS or Amazon S3 fit the interface. Done means the stated migration and polling requirements have an agreed, tested implementation scope.
