Welcome to Using a Namespace

Using a Namespace is your guide to working with Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) namespaces. It introduces HCP concepts and describes how HCP represents content using familiar data structures. It includes instructions for accessing a namespace and explains how to store, view, retrieve, and delete objects in a namespace, as well as how to change object metadata such as retention and shred settings. It also contains usage considerations to help you work more effectively with namespaces.

This book does not discuss using the default namespace. For information on that namespace, see Using the Default Namespace.

Note: Throughout this Help system, the word Unix is used to represent all UNIX®-like operating systems (such as UNIX itself or Linux®), except where Linux is specifically required.

Intended audience

This Help is intended for people who need to know how to store, retrieve, and otherwise manipulate data and metadata in an HCP namespace. It addresses people who are writing applications to access one or more namespaces and people who are accessing a namespace directly through a command-line interface or GUI (such as Windows® Explorer).

If you're writing applications, this Help assumes you have programming experience.
