[Gluster-devel] [Gluster-users] User-serviceable snapshots design

[Paul Cuzner]

Just one question relating to thoughts around how you apply a filter to the snapshot view from a user's perspective. 

In the "considerations" section, it states - "We plan to introduce a configurable option to limit the number of snapshots visible under the USS feature." 
Would it not be possible to take the meta data from the snapshots to form a tree hierarchy when the number of snapshots present exceeds a given threshold, effectively organising the snaps by time. I think this would work better from an end-user workflow perspective. 

i.e. 
.snaps 
\/ Today 
+-- snap01_20140503_0800 
+-- snap02_ 20140503_ 1400
