Thanks for annoying letting us know about this so early on; I don't fully
understand the plugin functionality So I have some general questions. But
am very interested in this.
0) I notice it's largely written in go,compared to the gluster ecosystem which
is mostly Python and C. Any reaso
Agreed we need not be depended ONE technology for the above.
But LVM is a strong contender as a single stable underlying technology that
provides the following.
We can make it plugin based :) . So that ppl who have LVM and are happy with it
can use it.
And we still can have other technology plugi

The current implementation is LVM-centric, which is one reason uptake has
been so low. The intent was always to make it more generic, so that other
mechanisms could be used as well.

LVM or Volume Manager Dependencies:
1) SNAPSHOTS: Gluster snapshots are LVM based
2) PROVISIONING and ENFORCEMENT:
As of today Gluster does not have any control on the size of the brick. It will
consume the brick (xfs)mount point given
to it without checking on how much it needs to consume. LVM (
grate heketi into
glusterd ;-) ).

Hey Luis,
You just announced this right when we were about to make public our
plans for Manila integration w.r.t GlusterD-2.0.
We are about to kickstart GlusterD-2.0, and the first piece we wanted
to implement was a method to create volumes intelligently. This is
pretty much what heketi is attemp
Awesome, this seems to the filling a nice gap, a feature for which was
opened long back (Sept. 2014) [1]
Will checkout the demo soon.
thanx,

Hi all,
As we continue forward with OpenStack Manila and Kubernetes integration with
GlusterFS, we require a simpler method of managing volumes and bricks. We
introduce Heketi ( https://github.com/heketi ), a RESTful storage management
framework which enables certain storage systems to be ea
