Re: is it a bug? (unify+rr)

[Amar Tumballi <amar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

'cluster/distribute' is just a symlink to 'cluster/dht', which works on different design internally compared to 'cluster/unify' which needs a centralized 'namespace' volume to work. We have noticed that the 'scaling' is not possible with 'cluster/unify' and have decided to not continue any more development on cluster/unify design, instead any more enhancement of glusterfs will happen only on 'cluster/distribute' translator.

Any reason to go with 'cluster/unify' instead of 'cluster/distribute'? Other than for 'switch' scheduler, we recommend 'cluster/distribute' for combining the storage. 

so pls tell the difference between  'cluster/unify' and 'cluster/distribute' ?

is 'cluster/unify' a essential translator on client?

and the difference between 'cluster/distribute'  and 'cluster/dht' ?

so many similar translators that im very puzzled...
