The following options were added post 4.1 and are part of 5.0 as the
first release for the same. They were added in as part of bugs, and
hence looking at github issues to track them as enhancements did not
catch the same.

We need to document it in the release notes (and also the gluster doc.
site ideally), and hence I would like a some details on what to write
for the same (or release notes commits) for them.

Option: cluster.daemon-log-level

Option: ctime-invalidation

Review: https://review.gluster.org/c/glusterfs/+/20286

Quick-read by default uses mtime to identify changes to file data. However there are applications like rsync which explicitly set mtime making it unreliable for the purpose of identifying change in file content. Since ctime also changes when content of a file changes and it cannot be set explicitly, it becomes suitable for identifying staleness of cached data. This option makes quick-read to prefer ctime over mtime to validate its cache. However, using ctime can result in false positives as ctime changes with just attribute changes like permission without changes to file data. So, use this option only when mtime is not reliable.



Option: shard-lru-limit
Attention: @krutika
Review: https://review.gluster.org/c/glusterfs/+/20544

Option: shard-deletion-rate
Attention: @krutika
Review: https://review.gluster.org/c/glusterfs/+/19970

Please send in the required text ASAP, as we are almost towards the end
of the release.

Thanks,
Shyam
