Re: Proposal for 3.5: Make adding custom translators easy

Adding development headers to the deb has been on my todo list for a week already.  I'll get on that Real Soon Now (in the next few days, I hope).  I'll probably ping on IRC when I'm working on it.

Thanks!

Here are some more points to consider:

  * gluster-devel package should include all the necessary header and
library files to compile a standalone glusterfs translator.

That definitely makes sense. :)

We already have that in the RPMs, but not in the .debs though AFAIK.




  * Modular GlusterFS CLI API. Today it is hard-coded.

Not so sure about this one.  Allowing for dynamic additions to
the CLI (eg using the meta-data in the JSON fragment) sounds like
a feature of it's own.

Not just the CLI, don't forget we have a GUI too, with its own RESTful API.

As for the CLI, I had half imagined that each translator came with one or two shared libs besides the translator itself, which are pluggable extensions to gluster, glusterd, and/or xlators/mgmt/glusterd. The retooling of gluster and glusterd to handle these seems like a fairly large task all by itself.
