I posted this earlier to Amye's original google form.. not sure it got onto the discussion lists .. so reposting now..

Challenges with Gluster and Persistent Memory

A discussion of the difficulties posed by persistent memory with Gluster and some short and long term steps to address them.	

Persistent memory will significantly improve storage performance. But these benefits may be hard to realize in Gluster. Gains are mitigated from costly network overhead and its deep software layer. It is also likely that the high costs of persistent memory will limit deployments. This talk shall discuss short and long term steps to take on those problems. Possible strategies include better incorporating high speed networks such as infiniband, client side caching of metadata, and centralizing DHT's layouts. Not to mention tiering. The talk will include discussion and results from a range of experiments in software and hardware.
