Hi

https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/188 is merged in master
and needs to go in 3.11

Appropriate github project board updates done, thanks.

Further, thanks for noting (in the github issue) that this commit was made before we started enforcing the "Fixes/Updates #n" rules, helps in keeping track of changes.


Thanks and Regards,
Kotresh H R

Hi,

With release 3.10 shipped [1], it is time to set the dates for release
3.11 (and subsequently 4.0).

This mail has the following sections, so please read or revisit as needed,
  - Release 3.11 dates (the schedule)
  - 3.11 focus areas


Pinging the list on the above 2 items.

*Release 3.11 dates:*
Based on our release schedule [2], 3.11 would be 3 months from the 3.10
release and would be a Short Term Maintenance (STM) release.

This puts 3.11 schedule as (working from the release date backwards):
- Release: May 30th, 2017
- Branching: April 27th, 2017


Branching is about 2 weeks away, other than the initial set of overflow
features from 3.10 nothing else has been raised on the lists and in github
as requests for 3.11.

So, a reminder to folks who are working on features, to raise the relevant
github issue for the same, and post it to devel list for consideration in
3.11 (also this helps tracking and ensuring we are waiting for the right
things at the time of branching).


*3.11 focus areas:*
As maintainers of gluster, we want to harden testing around the various
gluster features in this release. Towards this the focus area for this
release are,

1) Testing improvements in Gluster
  - Primary focus would be to get automated test cases to determine
release health, rather than repeating a manual exercise every 3 months
  - Further, we would also attempt to focus on maturing Glusto[7] for
this, and other needs (as much as possible)

2) Merge all (or as much as possible) Facebook patches into master, and
hence into release 3.11
  - Facebook has (as announced earlier [3]) started posting their
patches mainline, and this needs some attention to make it into master


Further to the above, we are also considering the following features for
this release, request feature owners to let us know if these are actively
being worked on and if these will make the branching dates. (calling out
folks that I think are the current feature owners for the same)

1) Halo - Initial Cut (@pranith)
2) IPv6 support (@kaushal)

This is under review at https://review.gluster.org/16228 . The patch
mostly looks fine.

The only issue is that it currently depends and links with an internal
FB fork of tirpc (mainly for some helper functions and utilities).
This makes it hard for the community to make actual use of  and test,
the IPv6 features/fixes introduced by the change.

If the change were refactored the use publicly available versions of
tirpc or ntirpc, I'm OK for it to be merged. I did try it out myself.
While I was able to build it against available versions of tirpc, I
wasn't able to get it working correctly.

3) Negative lookup (@poornima)
4) Parallel Readdirp - More changes to default settings. (@poornima, @du)
