There are still two hops, but making it a compound op keeps the server-to-server communication in the compounding translator (which should already be able to handle that case) instead of having to put it in the MDS. It's not so much a matter of improving performance - turning a client/server hop into server/server or server/cache should do that - but of implementing that improvement in a clean way. _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
