Convenient filesystem interface over Oracle Cloud's Object Storage
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage service is an internet-scale, high-performance storage platform that offers reliable and cost-efficient data durability. With Object Storage, you can safely and securely store or retrieve data directly from the internet or from within the cloud platform.
ocifs is part of the fsspec intake/filesystem_spec ecosystem
a template or specification for a file-system interface, that specific implementations should follow, so that applications making use of them can rely on a common interface and not have to worry about the specific internal implementation decisions with any given backend. 
ocifsjoins the list of file systems supported with this package.  Theintake/filesystem_specproject is used by Pandas, Dask and other data libraries in python, this package adds Oracle OCI Object Storage capabilties to these libraries.

Note, if you are operating on OCI with an alternative valid signer, such as resource principal, instead set the following:
export OCIFS_IAM_TYPE=resource_principal
To quickly see all messages, you can set the environment variable OCIFS_LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG.
export OCIFS_LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG
The built-in filesystems in fsspec are maintained by the intake project team, where as ocifs is an external implementation (similar to s3fs, gcsfs, adl/abfs, and so on), which is maintained by Oracle.
