[Gluster-devel] 1.4.0 and HA Translator

[Melvin Wong]

Hi Raghavendra,

Tks for the quick reply. Another question is do you know if Heatbeat is
better choice or HA translator for failover. When we use HA translator,
what will happen to the open files or current file transfer during a
failover? Will the clients clashes while  trying to connect to the slave
server?

Thank you.

Hi Melvin,
I meant HA is also designed to help server side afr setups you've
explained. Sorry for the typo.

Hi,

I will like to know is there a need to upgrade my current setup from
glusterfs-1.3.11 to 1.4.0rc6. What major bug fixes are there in 1.4
since 1.3.11? Also, currently my setup consist of 2 glusterfs servers
mirroring each other with AFR. One of the server is set as master where
all the clients are connected to it. We maintain HA by using Heartbeat
on the 2 servers. Once the master server fails, heartbeat will failover
to the slave server. However, occasionally the clients might encounter
problems connecting during the failover or the 2 servers no longer  able
to replicate well. Could HA translator in 1.4 be of help to replace the
Heartbeat? Will it be more stable than Heartbeat during a failover?
