It started off so nice and friendly, and then reads so hostile at the end. Sort of like a shit sandwich, except with the bottom slice of bread missing.

I am curious to understand how Torus is similar to Sheepdog [0].

From the Sheepdog website:

    Sheepdog is a distributed object storage system for
    volume and container services and manages the disks
    and nodes intelligently. Sheepdog features ease of use,
    simplicity of code and can scale out to thousands of
    nodes.

    The block level volume abstraction can be attached to
    QEMU virtual machines and Linux SCSI Target and supports
    advanced volume management features such as snapshot,
    cloning, and thin provisioning.

    The object level container abstraction is designed to
    be Openstack Swift and Amazon S3 API compatible and can
    be used to store and retrieve any amount of data with a
    simple web services interface.
