[Gluster-users] glusterfs 3.4 - object storage

[Prashanth Pai]

Hi,

> How do I use object storage ?
gluster-swift is the "object storage" that you are looking for. However, it depends on Openstack Swift (which can be installed independently i.e without rest of OpenStack). There's a quick guide on how to set up gluster-swift here: https://github.com/gluster/gluster-swift/blob/havana/doc/markdown/quick_start_guide.md

And no, gluster-swift cannot be used to store key-value pairs or be used without Openstack Swift.
There's a plan to make gluster-swift use libgfapi in future versions.

Subject: [Gluster-users] glusterfs 3.4 - object storage



Hi, 



I’m trying to benchmark the storage of large number of small JSON files (~100k) on glusterfs. Using the libgfapi to operate these as files on a distributed-replicate brick takes about 5 minutes. There is no requirement to operate these as files (only require store, retrieve – they can be as objects). 



How do I use the object storage? 

Any examples for object storage to save these as key-value pairs instead of being stored as individual files? 



Would like to avoid using an additional product on top of gluster such as swift if possible. 



Thanks 

Nirmal
