--- Comment #3 from Ashish Pandey <aspandey at redhat.com> ---
Problem:

To increase the capacity of existing gluster volume (AFR or EC), we need to add
more bricks on that volume.
Currently it is required to add as many node as it is required to keep the
volume fault tolerant, which depends on the configuration of the volume.
This in turn requires adding more than 1 node to scale gluster volume.
However, it is not always possible to buy and place lot of nodes/serves in one
shot and provide it to scale our volume.
To solve this we have to come up with some solution so that we can scale out
volume even if we add one server with enough bricks on that
one server.

This tool is going to help user to move the drives from one server to other
server so that all the bricks are properly distributed and new bricks can be
added to volume with
complete fault tolerance.

Access is needed by following team members for now - 
1 - vbellur at redhat.com
2 - atumball at redhat.com
3 - aspandey at redhat.com
