[Gluster-users] Read from fastest node only

[David Cunningham]

Hi Gionatan,

Thanks for that reply. Under normal circumstances there would be nothing
that needs to be healed, but how can local-node know this is really the
case without checking the other nodes?

If using local-node tells GlusterFS not to check other nodes for the health
of the file at all then this sounds exactly like what we're looking for,
although only for a GlusterFS node that is also a client. My understanding
is that local-node isn't applicable to a machine that only has the client.

Does anyone know definitively what is the case here? If not I guess we
would need to test it.

Thank you.
