            Bug ID: 1207603
           Summary: Persist file size and block count of sharded files in
                    the form of xattrs
           Product: GlusterFS
           Version: mainline
         Component: sharding
          Assignee: bugs at gluster.org

Description of problem:
Metadata read fops like stat, fstat, lookup, readdirp etc return the file size
and block count in their response. This means that for shard'ed files, it is
necessary to look up each of the shards associated with the file and aggregate
their block count and block_size before returning it to the translators above.
But that would involve lot of network fops, increasing the latency of these
fops. To get around this problem, the size and block count can be kept up to
data in the form of an xattr on the first shard with each inode write operation
(like writev, truncate, ftruncate, zerofill, discard, fallocate etc).
