I've been looking at the recent patches to redirect GF_FOP_IPC to an active subvolume instead of always to the first. Specifically, these:
http://review.gluster.org/11346 for DHT http://review.gluster.org/11347 for EC http://review.gluster.org/11348 for AFR I can't help but wonder if there's a simpler and more generic way to do this, instead of having to do this in a translator-specific way each time - then again for NSR, or for a separate tiering translator, and so on. For example what if each translator had a first_active_child callback? xlator_t * (*first_active_child) (xlator_t *parent); Then default_ipc could invoke this, if it exists, where it currently invokes FIRST_CHILD. Each translator could implement a bare minimum to select a child, then "step out of the way" for a fop it really wasn't all that interested in to begin with. Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@gluster.org http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
