I need some clarification on how geo-replication (gluster => 3.5) operates, as I'm not fully understanding how the new and improved version works from the docs.
Let's assume the following scenario, three servers setup in a geo-rep cluster all separated by a WAN:
<server a> -- WAN -- <server b> -- WAN -- <server c>
Does this scenario allow for a client with the a volume mounted to write to any of the servers directly and the write then gets replicated from that server to the other servers? For example, a client has the volume mounted (via FUSE) on server C and writes a file, does that file get written to server C directly and then the file replicates (asynchronously) to server A and server B ? Or is it that the writes only occur on the "master" of that geo-rep volume? I'm trying to understand if the replication for geo-rep occurs in a master-master setup or if it's still master-slave ? What was the big change for geo-rep in 3.5 ?
If it's not master-master, how does one get master-master replication working over a WAN?
Thanks ...
