I've expanded specification of two proposals for improving small-file 
performance as new feature pages, referenced at the bottom of this list (not in 
priority order I hope?).  Could we possibly review these proposals at a 
gluster.org meeting this month?

Thanks for this. Let us go through these ideas sometime next week. Me/Jeff do intend to setup a dedicated meeting for performance improvements sometime then.

new feature pages under this page are:

http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Features/stat-xattr-cache
 - proposed enhancement to POSIX translator for small-file performance
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Features/composite-operations
 - changes to reduce round trips for small-file performance

Specifically, the stat-xattr-cache proposal does not require Gluster 4.0 - it 
could be implemented today.  These pages are referenced by Features/Planning40 
page and also by the Features/Feature_Smallfile_Perf page.

comments and feedback are appreciated.  There have been other related proposals 
from Rudra Siva concerning round-trip reduction in 
http://supercolony.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2014-November/042741.html
 .

+1 to implement whatever we can today in 3.7. I envision performance improvements across the board as being one of the release themes for GlusterFS 3.7.

Cheers,
Vijay
