DownloadGlusterFS Roadmap
From GlusterDocumentation
Contents |
[edit]
Roadmap Queue
- dynamic volume management - while mount point is online, you can add servers
- NFS native server in gluster - to address GlusterFS solution to other OSes, and lot of 'enterprises' are stuck with NFS clients.
- more enhanced logging / state dump from running process - for enhanced debugging..
- gluster command line - to manage the distributed storage (admin friendly management of DVM)
- 32bit/64bit interoperability - so no more restriction on system type..
- RPC/XDR protocol - no more worry of backward compatibility issues of protocol (and some nasty crashes).. (note that this fixes issues like bug 1338)
