[Gluster-users] Gluster Interop vs Survey

[Charles Ritter]

I like the survey idea.

Would something like an (semi) annual interop event make sense? Maybe
co-located with another major conference like SC or ISC, or Interop,
or whatever. A survey maybe sets an upper bound on what people are
trying (successfully??), an interop test event *maybe* sets a lower
bound on what is known to work well. It could point out weaknesses in
switching vs memory caching vs random write io latency vs scsi queue
depth, etc.

Just brainstorming a little here... distributed systems are complex
enough, but distributed *storage* just seems to make standard
regression testing all the more difficult. The survey to me is a poor
mans regression of sorts.
