[Gluster-devel] Follow: GSoC Proposal for a RESTful/JSON API and server for GlusterFS similar to WebHDFS

[Jay Vyas]

RJ  once you have code working also let me suggest you spend time on creating a docker or vagrant environment for reproducing your deployments so it's easy for us to test and so that we can feedback into James shubins work efforts at making gluster systems easier to test with things like puppet-gluster and his F19 vagrant/gluster/puppet recipes..

As the number of big data processing and storage systems explode, integration is becoming more important.  A language and operating system agnostic RESTful/JSON API and server could be helpful for easing integration efforts.
