Discussion on future releases:

   -

   Release 5: Tentative date for April, 2017
   -

   Subsequent releases: Every 3-6 months


Future issues to discuss:

   -

   Tightening integration with GlusterFS
   -

      Might remove the need for most of the heketi DB
      -

      Needs to be fast on the GlusterFS side (e.g. REST API)
      -

      Likely for glusterd2
      -

   Improve user experiences:
   -

      What happens when a disk or node dies?
      -

         https://github.com/heketi/heketi/issues/161
         -

         Automatically create new brick(s) to preserve replica, rebalance
         -

         Implement "disk fail" REST command
         -

         Would allow the ability to replace/swap out disks before or when
         they fail
         -

      Volume snapshot management
      -

         https://github.com/heketi/heketi/issues/413
