[Gluster-devel] Google Summer of Code - GlusterFS & Fedora Project

Sat Apr 7 17:17:31 UTC 2012

Hi john,

I think I have rough idea about the project now(A binding language
translator for glusterfs). Let me present it to you. Pls correct mistakes.
Also I have cc-ied the gluster-dev mailing address for suggestions.

The project is to create a language binding translator for gluster. The
translator is compiler that can covert the Gluster specific data formats
and datas to a serialised format. This format generated at serverside is
passed to the client. The client can use any programming language supported
by our language translator. Using this language he can get data from the
serialised data stream sent over the network from the server. This works
like thrift or protobuf but specially made for gluster accomadate its
specific needs.

Isn't it right?
