There were some problems with optimistic-change-log option. I think that
disabling it before upgrading (and give some time to become effective)
makes it possible to successfully complete a rolling upgrade, but I've not
tested it personally.

Adding @Ashish Pandey  who tested it, and may know
more details about the procedure.

Completed upgrade testing using RC1 packages against a 4.1 cluster.
Things hold up fine. (replicate type volumes)

I have not attempted a rolling upgrade of disperse volumes, as we still
lack instructions to do so. @Pranith/@Xavi is this feasible this release
onward?

Re: [Gluster-Maintainers] Release 5: Branched and further dates - CentOS Storage SIG preparations

Because I received notes that the CentOS Storage SIG packages from the
testing repository has been tested successfully, I submitted the request
to sync the repository (minus glusterfs itself) to the CentOS mirror
network. These requests are normally handled on Mondays, so the
configuration and pre-seeding should be in place beginning of next week.
Additional packages (glusterfs 5 GA) can then quickly land there as
well.

In case someone is interested on the progress, you can follow
https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15356 for this.

The next step on the CentOS Storage SIG side is to get the GA build on
the mirrors, and then update centos-release-gluster5 to use the right
repository (and disable -test). This package then needs to be proposed
for inclusion in CentOS Extras. When that is accepted/pushed, a release
announcement needs to be sent to the CentOS Announce list. Assistance
with composing the message is appreciated. The format should be similar
to previous CentOS announcements:

Please find the initial commit here [1].

@Kaushal/GD2 team, request updation of the Management section with
relevant notes.

@others, reviews welcome, also if any noted feature still has to update
the gluster documentation to call out the options or its use, now would
be a good time to close the same, as it can aid users better than just
release notes and what is written in there.

Re: [Gluster-Maintainers] Release 5: Branched and further dates

2018-09-26 Thread Shyam Ranganathan
Hi,

Updates on the release and shout out for help is as follows,

RC0 Release packages for testing are available see the thread at [1]

These are the following activities that we need to complete for calling
the release as GA (with no major regressions i.e):

1. Release notes (Owner: release owner (myself), will send out an
initial version for review and to solicit inputs today)

2. Testing dashboard to maintain release health (new, thanks Nigel)
  - Dashboard at [2]
  - We already have 3 failures here as follows, needs attention from
appropriate *maintainers*,
(a)
https://build.gluster.org/job/regression-test-with-multiplex/871/consoleText
- Failed with core: 
./tests/basic/afr/gfid-mismatch-resolution-with-cli.t
(b)
https://build.gluster.org/job/regression-test-with-multiplex/873/consoleText
- Failed with core: ./tests/bugs/snapshot/bug-1275616.t
- Also test ./tests/bugs/glusterd/validating-server-quorum.t had to be
retried
(c)
https://build.gluster.org/job/regression-test-burn-in/4109/consoleText
- Failed with core: ./tests/basic/mgmt_v3-locks.t

3. Upgrade testing
  - Need *volunteers* to do the upgrade testing as stated in the 4.1
upgrade guide [3] to note any differences or changes to the same
  - Explicit call out on *disperse* volumes, as we continue to state
online upgrade is not possible, is this addressed and can this be tested
and the documentation improved around the same?

4. Performance testing/benchmarking
  - I would be using smallfile and FIO to baseline 3.12 and 4.1 and test
RC0 for any major regressions
  - If we already know of any please shout out so that we are aware of
the problems and upcoming fixes to the same

5. Major testing areas
  - Py3 support: Need *volunteers* here to test out the Py3 support
around changed python files, if there is not enough coverage in the
regression test suite for the same

Thanks,
Shyam

[Gluster-Maintainers] Release 5: Branched and further dates

2018-09-13 Thread Shyam Ranganathan
Hi,

Release 5 has been branched today. To backport fixes to the upcoming 5.0
release use the tracker bug [1].

We intend to roll out RC0 build by end of tomorrow for testing, unless
the set of usual cleanup patches (op-version, some messages, gfapi
version) land in any form of trouble.

RC1 would be around 24th of Sep. with final release tagging around 1st
of Oct.

I would like to encourage everyone to test out the bits as appropriate
and post updates to this thread.

Thanks,
Shyam
