[Gluster-devel] Glusterd2 project updates (github.com/gluster/glusterd2)

[Aravinda]

Completed
----------

- Environment variable(`GD2_ENDPOINTS`) support to `glustercli` to
  make it work without any configuration in GCS setup.
  (https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1292)

- Fixed issues related to nightly rpm generation scripts
  (https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1298)

- Error messages cleaned up according to agreed standard.
  (https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1297)

- Fixed typo in `glustercli snapshot create` help message.
  (https://github.com/gluster/glusterd2/pull/1296)

- Brick type validation added. In Glusterd1 last brick in arbiter sub
  volume is always treated as arbiter brick. In glusterd2, flexibility
  is added to specify the arbiter brick anywhere in the list. Brick
type
  as "arbiter" need to be specified if a brick is arbiter brick. Due to
  a bug, Arbiter Volume was treated as replicate volume if the input
  doesn't specify brick type "arbiter" or wrong brick type.
