Greetings, I am not sure I understand fully the relationship b/w glusterfs project per se and https://github.com/gluster/hadoop-glusterfs, but I'd like to follow up on the "Hadoop Connector" mention here ( http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Hadoop) and getFileBlockLocations API mention here ( http://community.gluster.org/q/how-gluster-supports-map-reduce-in-absence-of-metadata-of-input-data-chunks-spread-over-multiple-machines-see-desciption/ ): - does 3.3 install any kind of a C lib that would allow for "where data actually landed" queries? This would be very useful to users who want to structure their HPC jobs in the map/reduce style, but without using Hadoop specifically. (Really, the main innovation in MapReduce is colocation of calculation and data and I'd rather use a fs that's mountable in the classic sense as opposed to HDFS).
