Hi All.

Are there any plans for this feature?

Yes, it is in the plans. All that is needed to another function in the api which lets you define the IO transport to use.
The functionality is already there, if you use gfapi with a volume which was created with only rdma as transport, it would use gfapi as of today.
For a tcp,rdma volume it would always use tcp and gfapi does not have a option of specifying to use rdma transport.

We should have it in 3.8 version of Gluster.


Just tested latest glusterfs (3.7.6), and it still doesn't work (as expected, since there was no info in changelog about it).

Native RDMA transport should give a significant boost in performance, based on my observations in fuse mount.

If that is any of help, I'm more than happy to test patches ;-)

I'm using Mellanox QDR cards and ofed 3.12.
