I'd like to propose a discussion, mainly to get opinions and ideas of others about a design I'm thinking of applying for certain features. Thanks, Niels Title: Client initiated server-side processing - A.k.a. FOP-Bouncing Summary: Certain operations a client wants to do can be offloaded to the storage servers. One of these is server-sode-copy where a client wants to copy a file from one Gluster volume to an other. It is inefficient to read the file (transfer) to the client, and then write it to the server again. It would be nice for a client to send the copy operation to one of the storage servers and have the storage server take care of the actual reading+writing of the data. A possible way to accomplish this, is by using the upcall framework, and have a special (per server) process listening for specific upcall events. If a client sends the server-side-copy, the brick receiving it can create an upcall event that is handled only by a server-side process to offload the copy. I might call this design FOP-Bouncing, unless someone comes up with a more suitable name.
