Hi Atin, Yes, we can do it. the existing semantics need some changes because of the attach tier command (gluster volume tier <VOLNAME> attach <BRICK>...) the parsing has to be changed to accommodate the attach tier command. if used as I mentioned then we can use the functions of attach tier generic for adding brick also. Other thing with using args is. it needs changes to support the keywords like replica <count> also. so when we try to make a generic function for add brick on tiered volume and attach tier these keywords like replica <count> and tier-type <hot/cold> will need more changes. So i feel its better to have a separate command instead of the args. If i have been missing any pros from having the args let me know. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Atin Mukherjee" <amukherj@xxxxxxxxxx> > To: "Hari Gowtham" <hgowtham@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: "gluster-devel" <gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx>, "gluster-users" <gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Monday, October 3, 2016 2:31:40 PM > Subject: Re: [Gluster-devel] New commands for supporting add/remove brick and rebalance on tiered volume > > On Mon, Oct 3, 2016 at 12:21 PM, Hari Gowtham <hgowtham@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > The current add and remove brick commands aren't sufficient to support > > add/remove brick on tiered volumes.So the commands need minor changes > > like mentioning which tier we are doing the operation on.

Just a comment here. Instead of mentioning > remove/add/rebalance-hot/cold-brick can we have an additional arg called > tier-type <hot/cold> and continue with the existing semantics like > remove-brick, add-brick and rebalance? > > > > -- > > Regards, > > Hari. > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Gluster-devel mailing list > > Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx > > http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel > > > > > > -- > > --Atin > -- Regards, Hari. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
