[Gluster-users] User-serviceable snapshots design

[Sobhan Samantaray]

I think its a good idea to include the auto-remove of the snapshots based on the time or space as threshold as mentioned in below link.

Hi Paul, that is definitely doable and a very nice suggestion. It is just that we probably won't be able to get to that in the immediate code drop (what we like to call phase-1 of the feature). But yes, let us try to implement what you suggest for phase-2. Soon :-)

Just one question relating to thoughts around how you apply a filter to the snapshot view from a user's perspective. 

In the "considerations" section, it states - "We plan to introduce a configurable option to limit the number of snapshots visible under the USS feature." 
Would it not be possible to take the meta data from the snapshots to form a tree hierarchy when the number of snapshots present exceeds a given threshold, effectively organising the snaps by time. I think this would work better from an end-user workflow perspective. 

i.e. 
.snaps 
\/ Today 
+-- snap01_20140503_0800 
+-- snap02_ 20140503_ 1400

Attached is a basic write-up of the user-serviceable snapshot feature 
design (Avati's). Please take a look and let us know if you have 
questions of any sort... 

We have a basic implementation up now; reviews and upstream commit 
should follow very soon over the next week. 

Cheers, 
Anand
