Is there any document about design (draft is also good) of the new
features?
Maybe a brief explanation of the situation would be useful here. My
college Ferenc and me are working on a project in that we would *really*
need afr load-balancing. If any design plans would be available for this
feature, we could start implementing it (contributing the code back to
GlusterFS, of course).
If no such plan exists, is it possible to make one? We *need* that
feature amongst all circumstances, so we will implement it anyway. But
if we can, we would like to do it according to your plans, so you can
use our code instead of starting from scratch. We would like to avoid
senseless duplication of efforts.
Does AFR over Unify not support your requirements? It does provide a
level of load balancing for AFR connections. The main drawback is that
files are stored somewhat non-contiguously on the disks (each server is
part of two AFR's, where it's master AFR sub-volume for some of the
files and slave for the rest).
The Wiki gives a good example of this here
