[Gluster-users] sharding in glusterfs

[Ashayam Gupta]

Hi All,

We are currently using glusterfs for storing large files with write-once
and multiple concurrent reads, and were interested in understanding one of
the features of glusterfs called sharding for our use case.

So far from the talk given by the developer [
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAlLy9k65Gw] and the git issue [
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/290] , we know that it was
developed for large VM images as use case and the second link does talk
about a more general purpose usage , but we are not clear if there are some
issues if used for non-VM image large files [which is the use case for us].

Therefore it would be helpful if we can have some pointers or more
information about the more general use-case scenario for sharding and any
shortcomings if any , in case we use it for our scenario which is non-VM
large files with write-once and multiple concurrent reads.Also it would be
very helpful if you can suggest the best approach/settings for our use case
scenario.

Thanks
Ashayam Gupta
