<div>My understanding is that GlusterFS checks with all nodes
when performing a read. Is it possible to just get the data
from the node directly being accessed (in our case using the
GlusterFS client), without consulting with the other nodes?</div>

<div>Our application requires the GFS file to be available, but
it's actually not critical if we end up with an old version of
the file in the case of a server down or net-split etc.
Significantly improved read performance would be desirable
instead.</div>

I assume you are talking about replica volumes, in which case the
read does happen from only one of the replica bricks. The client
only sends lookups to all the bricks to figure out which are the
good copies. Post that, the reads themselves are served from only
one of the good copies.
