Hey Mahdi,
For me it looks like Red Hat are focusing more on CEPH than on Gluster.
I hope the project remains active, cause it's very difficult to find a Software-defined Storage as easy and as scalable as Gluster.
Best Regards,

I can't talk about Red Hat's focus or roadmap, but as far as Gluster Project is concerned, the project will be maintained, and improvements would be made. That is a promise from us at Kadalu.IO. Just that rate of activity may be lesser than earlier depending on how much other consumers of the project contribute for development!

A project's activities are directly related to people contributing, and there seems to be a low tide right now.
About glusterd2 is concerned, the project's abandoning decision happened almost 18months or so back. So, not something new IMO. But, that shouldn't stop one from thinking of better alternatives to gluster's management layer. Aravinda, Co-Founder of https://kadalu.io, started a very nice project called moana (https://github.com/kadalu/moana) which I believe has a very good potential to make many of gluster's management challenges go away!

Amar
