We've actually kicked around the concept of using Bittorrent Sync a bit here before, but being closed source left us thinking we should find an open-source alternative to start from. Haven't investigated further (yet). Any (other) leads?
Thanks for the tip on Murder.

It's copied from Theron Conrey's original blog post on the subject - http://conrey.org/2013/05/21/bittorrent-sync-as-geo-replication-for-storage/ Next step, for someone who wanted to continue this line of thought to its logical conclusion, is to perhaps use Murder, an open source project from Twitter: - https://blog.twitter.com/2010/murder-fast-datacenter-code-deploys-using-bittorrent Murder is an unfortunately-named project for deploying binaries and code across a massively scaled web environment. It might be interesting to apply it to the geo-rep context. -JM _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
