ocifs 0.1.1

Convenient filesystem interface over Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Object Storage

# ocifs OCI Object Storage fsspec implementation

Will move project to Oracle account once it’s futher along, also we’ll purge commit history prior to that move.

## Background:

Pandas recently switched the underlying file system mechanism to read data to use a project called (fsspec)[https://github.com/intake/filesystem_spec].

fsspec implements an abstract file system. Reading a csv from s3 for example is handled by Pandas now because s3://bucket/file is understood by fsspec. Similarly, Google /Microsoft/etc have added URI’s for their own s3-like cloud storage offerings. Currently in fsspec there are the following URI handlers:

• s3://… -> s3fs.S3FileSystem (requires pip install s3fs)

• az://… -> adlfs.AzureBlobFileSystem (requires pip install adlfs)

• dbfs://… -> fsspec.implementations.dbfs.DatabricksFileSystem (requires DataBricks)

• gcs://… -> gcsfs.GCSFileSystem (requires pip install gcsfs)

• gdrive://… -> gdrivefs.GoogleDriveFileSystem (requires pip install gdrivefs)

• Many more listed here: https://github.com/intake/filesystem_spec/blob/master/fsspec/registry.py

This project adds:

• oci://… -> to do (through pip install ocifs)

And the end result is that a user anywhere could run the following:

`pip install pandas fsspec ocifs df = pd.read_csv("ocifs://my_bucket/myobject.csv")`
