Hi all
In the use of the glusterfs ,found file system commands a lot, such
as stat, lookup,setfattr, the very influence system performance,
especially with EC volume. The use of glusterfs code architecture and
add metadata server xlater and achieve similar GFS architecture; so, the
same set of software, users can choose their own metadata server or not
to choose the metadata server;
How do you expect the metadata server to aide performance here? There
would be network trips to the metadata servers to set/fetch necessary
information. If the intention is to avoid the penalty of having to fetch
information from disk, we have been investigating the possibility of
loading md-cache as part of the brick process graph to avoid hitting the
disk for repetitive fetch of attributes & extended attributes. I expect
that to be mainlined soon.
If you have other ideas on how a metadata server can improve
performance, that would be interesting to know.
