Projects with mentors

---------------------
|

|
|
|

|
|
### gfsck - A GlusterFS filesystem check
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- A tool to check filesystem integrity and repairing
|
||
|
|
- I'm currently working on it
|
||
|
|
- Owner: Xavier Hernandez (Datalab)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Sub-directory mount support for native GlusterFS mounts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Allow clients to directly mount directories inside a GlusterFS volume,
|
||
|
|
like how NFS clients can mount directories inside an NFS export.

### GlusterD services high availablity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GlusterD should restart the processes it manages, bricks, nfs server,
|
||
|
|
self-heal daemon and quota daemon, whenever it detects they have died.

### Language bindings for libgfapi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- API/library for accessing gluster volumes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### oVirt gui for stats
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Have pretty graphs and tables in ovirt for the GlusterFS top and profile
|
||
|
|
commands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Monitoring integrations - munin others
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The more monitoring support we have for GlusterFS the better.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### More compression algorithms for compression xlator
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The on-wire compression translator should be extended to support more
|
||
|
|
compression algorithms. Ideally it should be pluggable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Cinder GlusterFS backup driver
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Write a driver for cinder, a part of openstack, to allow backup onto
|
||
|
|
GlusterFS volumes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### rsockets - sockets for rdma transport
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Coding for RDMA using the familiar socket api should lead to a more
|
||
|
|
robust rdma transport
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Data import tool
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create a tool which will allow importing already existing data in the
|
||
|
|
brick directories into the gluster volume. This is most likely going to
|
||
|
|
be a special rebalance process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Rebalance improvements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Improve rebalance performance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Meta translator
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The meta xlator provides a /proc like interface to GlusterFS xlators.
|
||
|
|
This could be improved upon and the meta xlator could be made a standard
|
||
|
|
part of the volume graph.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Geo-replication using rest-api
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Might be suitable for geo replication over WAN.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Quota using underlying FS' quota
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GlusterFS quota is currently maintained completely in GlusterFSs
|
||
|
|
namespace using xattrs. We could make use of the quota capabilities of
|
||
|
|
the underlying fs (XFS) for better performance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Snapshot pluggability
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Snapshot should be able to make use of snapshot support provided by
|
||
|
|
btrfs for example.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Compression at rest
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lessons learnt while implementing encryption at rest can be used with
|
||
|
|
the compression at rest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### File-level deduplication
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GlusterFS works on files. So why not have dedup at the level files as
|
||
|
|
well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Composition xlator for small files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Merge small files into a designated large file using our own custom
|
||
|
|
semantics. This can improve our small file performance.
