Glusterd2 is a new project for managing Gluster volumes and peers. This project provides native REST APIs for better integration with other projects/applications. We are aiming to make glusterd2 as default management for providing Gluster storage in container world. Project page: https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2 ## Highlights of enhancements/bug fixes happend in last two weeks - Disperse data and redundancy count was not available in Volinfo of a disperse volume. Without this data applications like gluster-prometheus was unable to export the right metric for sub volume size. Disperse data count and redundancy count added to API response (https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1253) - CLI feature to delete all snapshots is merged also improved capturing snapshot create time when a Gluster volume snapshot is created. - snapshot/delete: Implement snapshot delete all(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1241) - rename snapTime field to createAt in snapshot response(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1239) - Improved pmap package to provide consistent port information while spawning the brick processes. - Refactor and improve pmap package(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1247) - Removed the unnecessory log messages which were logged on every glusterd2 start which are related to unexported methods of sunrpc methods. These logs are removed now since these logs were not adding any value.(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1251) - Improved the e2e tests by fixing couple of bug fixes and enhancements - Fix issue while doing `gofmt` tests(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1248) - fix issue in e2e(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1243) - e2e: Create separate localstatedirs for each test(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1233) - Fix TestWriteStatedump test(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1240) - Volume name was optional during Volume create, which is not necessory when using with CSI driver() or as standalone. Volume name is made non-optional for better usability. Mandatory Volume name also helps to ignore duplicate(accidental/network failure) Volume create API requests(Discussed here https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/issues/919#issuecomment-401022413) - Make Volume name mandatory in Volume create request(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1245) - With Glusterd2, Volumes can be created by manually specifying each brick or specifying size without bricks information. Many operations are dependent on how the bricks are provisioned, for example if bricks are auto provisioned then bricks needs to be mounted on node reboot or glusterd2 restart. Auto provision flag is added to achive the same(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1036) - Glusterd2 can be customized by setting a few environment variables(for example `GD2_NOEMBED=true`). These env variables were not available for Glusterd2 when started using systemd. Now systemd unit file is enhanced to understand the configurations set via env variables.(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1230) - Other improvement to avoid annoyance to developers by adding the IDE specific files to `.gitignore`(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1238) ## Upcoming features planned in next two weeks: - Template support for Volgen. Gluster volume mounts and brick processes loads the xlators and respective options based on the provided Volfile. As of now list of Xlators and its options can be modified by changing the Glusterd2 code and recompiling. With this enhancement, list of Xlators to be loaded in generated volfile can be controlled by adding/removing from a template file. This feature provides flexibility to support different usecases without modifying the Glusterd2 code.(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1229) - Making bricks provisioner as plugin: Currently LVM provisioner is used to auto provision the bricks when volume create is requested by specifying size without providing the bricks details. With this enhancement new provisioners can be added easily without affecting the existing ones.(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1256) - Newly added bricks were not placed properly when distributed replicate volume was expanded. PR is sent to fix the issue - Replace brick - Support for replace brick operation as documented here https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/issues/472#issuecomment-408389266 - Add Volume capacity information in Volume info - Since Volume capacity is static information which will not change after volume create unless volume is expanded. Enhancement is planned to save the capacity information in volinfo when auto provision volume is created. (https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1193) - Couple of PRs related to Snapshot feature are under review.(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1228, https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1053) - Tracing support for Volume and Snapshot operations (https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1255 and https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1149) - Support for Volume profile - This helps users to understand and debug the Gluster Volume. In Glusterd, this feature is supported using `gluster volume profile*` command.(https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/962) -- regards Aravinda _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
