Hi, I am benchmarking gluster, and would like to ensure I understand the options related to consolidating the storage bricks. I'm a bit confused about "cluster/unify", "cluster/dht", and "cluster/distribute". This page shows how dht is different from unify, but what is distribute, a rename of DHT? http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/Understanding_DHT_Translator It would be helpful to see an example of distribute+replicate. I am trying to approximate an HDFS setup that I've tested, which replicates files over many servers, but favors local storage like nufa. In Gluster I am using: Translators: fuse -> distribute -> replicate -> {bricks} Bricks are: server -> io-threads(8) -> locks -> posix_storage I would like to measure worst-case performance, without any cache effects. Are there any translators or options that I should include for best performance? Thanks, fds -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
