Hi all,
As you may know, Heketi (https://github.com/heketi/heketi) is a service that allows
volumes to be created on demand from any number of GlusterFS clusters. The program
heketi-cli was at first created as a sample application for developers, but now that we
will be working on it to be used by users, I am not sure if the name is appropriate, and
is probably confusing. My question is, should the program still be called
"heketi-cli"?. I am thinking it should be called something along the lines of
GlusterFS-family-like program:
Here are some names for the cli:
$ glfs-heketi volume create ...
or
$ glfs volume create ...
or
$ glusterfs-cloud volume create ...
or
$ gfsc volume create ...
or
$ gfscloud volume create ...
What do you think?
Should we drop volume and replace it with something more abstract like
'storage-pool' or 'share'? That way we will have the flexibility to map
heketi volumes to appropriate entities in gluster
(volumes/directories/files) without causing confusion.
If we use one such term, we could have it extend gluster CLI as:
#gluster storage-pool create foo 10TB
Users could find this scheme more intuitive because of familiarity with
gluster CLI.
