[Gluster-devel] Glusterfs and Structured data

[Raghavendra Gowdappa]

All,

One of our users pointed out to the documentation that glusterfs is not good for storing "Structured data" [1], while discussing an issue [2]. Does any of you have more context on the feasibility of storing "structured data" on Glusterfs? Is one of the reasons for such a suggestion "staleness of metadata" as encountered in bugs like [3]?
