(@poornima, @du) I think we should let it be optional for another release, until it stabilizes. However, for this release we would like to make it production feature (not experimental). I have raised the issue for the same: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/166 Also for 3.11, one more item would be to make the md-cache improvements production feature, it is experimental currently. Issue for the same: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/167 Will add the release notes for all these features in the issues. I do not have permissions to add labels though.
