Avati - This type of functionality is incredibly useful from an IT operations POV, my thinking is it would make migrating from a distribute only to a distribute-replica volume easier.

What purpose is the replicate translator serving without the second server? In what way is this more beneficial than loading the replicate translator only when the second server is introduced to the system?

It will likely need additional supporting work in add-brick so that incomplete mirrors are assembled correctly for distributed-replicated cases. Building/Assembling an incomplete mirror is an important capability needed for a number of use cases. -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics, Inc. email: landman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx web : http://scalableinformatics.com http://scalableinformatics.com/sicluster phone: +1 734 786 8423 x121 fax : +1 866 888 3112 cell : +1 734 612 4615 _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
