Description

This JIRA adds the skeleton for server side code, which is one of the core components in block storage. For performance concerns, the server does not handle any actual read/write operation but serving primarily as a meta data server. It provides four APIs:

1. create volume : which will call into underlying container layer to allocate containers
2. delete volume : delete a specific volume (as well as its containers)
3. info volume : return information of a specific volume
4. list volume : list all volumes

Note that this is still subject to potentially major changes. Features such as persistence are missing.
