Add support for object retention #1173

Description

@JesseLovelace

Please implement the object retention feature. The following operations must be supported:

  • Create a bucket with object retention enabled by using the enableObjectRetention bucket create boolean option at bucket create time
  • Get the object retention enabled status of a bucket
  • Create an object with retention enabled (on an retention enabled bucket) by populating the retention object at object create time (retention object has the fields mode which can be Unlocked or Locked, and retainUntilTime which is a timestamp)
  • Update retention for an existing object with a patch operation, by passing the overrideUnlockedRetention boolean patch option
  • Get the retention policy of an object
  • Remove retention for an existing object the same way as above

Details in go/gcs-object-retention-client-request

You can use the java implementation as a reference.

The kokoro test project should be allowlisted shortly, let me know if you need access to an allowlisted project for your own testing.

We're aiming to get this in by the November code freeze, let me know if you need any help.

                Please implement the object retention feature. The following operations must be supported:

                • Create a bucket with object retention enabled by using the enableObjectRetention bucket create boolean option at bucket create time
                • Get the object retention enabled status of a bucket
                • Create an object with retention enabled (on an retention enabled bucket) by populating the retention object at object create time (retention object has the fields mode which can be Unlocked or Locked, and retainUntilTime which is a timestamp)
                • Update retention for an existing object with a patch operation, by passing the overrideUnlockedRetention boolean patch option
                • Get the retention policy of an object
                • Remove retention for an existing object the same way as above

                Details in go/gcs-object-retention-client-request

                You can use the java implementation as a reference.

                The kokoro test project should be allowlisted shortly, let me know if you need access to an allowlisted project for your own testing.

                We're aiming to get this in by the November code freeze, let me know if you need any help.
