[Gluster-devel] Object Quota feature proposal for GlusterFS-3.7

[Dan Lambright]

Prashanth ,

Not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but the changetimerecorder translator records in a database files that are created/modified/deleted/read (or some subset). This is a new translator thats part of the tier feature, though was written to be multipurpose and modular etc.

It uses the SQLlite database as a backend. You can put in a different backend. It does a lazy updates. 

Feel free to take a look at it as well or inquire about it (Joseph authored this feature), just FYI.
