Is there any value / way to tell all the gluster nodes to make a file highly available, potentially at the cost of consistency (i.e. forget about locks for all files named XXXX and cache them in local disk)? Scenario: Imagine I have a workflow of processing 1 million files, and I want to compare all 1 billion files to all the words in , say, a set of ten files, each of which are 10MB. It would be easy to cache the ten files (100MB of data) on every local gluster node. Or even in memory for that matter. Admittedly...Im not an expert on disk caching so, maybe, this is already done using heuristics for us... and its just a matter of time for FUSE/Underlying filesystem/Gluster mount to figure out that a file is important before it starts caching it in some magical sort of way. -- Jay Vyas http://jayunit100.blogspot.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
