[Gluster-devel] CFP for Gluster Developer Summit

[Pranith Kumar Karampuri]

Proposals:
1) Design of glfstrace tool

What happens in a File operation has been a bit difficult to figure out
looking at the workload, so we need a tool similar to strace which shows
the fops that are being wound/unwound though the clients and servers. We
can use the eventing infra by Aravinda to get this information from both
clients and servers which would help in debugging.

May even show a demo if I find time to implement this :-).

2) Reducing negative lookups using hash of the files/bloom filters/cuckoo
filters

Poornima and I were discussing about how to reduce the number of lookups
that need to fail with ENOENT before a create/mknod/mkdir etc fops need to
come. We see that almost 40% of the workload was negative lookups for
small-file create workload. What we came up with is a translator which
starts tracking creation of files in a directory as soon as a directory is
created using that mount. For each creation inside this new directory it
marks the file name as used using hashtable or a filter(bloom/cuckoo). Now
if a lookup on a name that was never created in that directory comes, we
can give ENOENT directly from the client without doing a lookup on the
cluster. We will discuss how we will be using leases to make sure this
solution is accurate. We would also like to present/seek inputs about how
to extend it in future.

May even show a demo if I find time to implement this :-).
