I am only concerned about in-service upgrade. 
If a feature/option is not present in V1, then I would prefer not to enable it 
by default on V2. 
We have seen some problem in other-eager-lock when we changed it to enable by 
default.

Hi all, 

a patch [1] was added some time ago to send upcall notifications from the locks 
xlator to the current owner of a granted lock when another client tries to 
acquire the same lock (inodelk or entrylk). This makes it possible to use 
eager-locking on the client side, which improves performance significantly, 
while also keeping good performance when multiple clients are accessing the 
same files (the current owner of the lock receives the notification and 
releases it as soon as possible, allowing the other client to acquire it and 
proceed very soon). 

Currently both AFR and EC are ready to handle these contention notifications 
and both use eager-locking. However the upcall contention notification is 
disabled by default. 

I think we should enabled it by default. Does anyone see any possible issue if 
we do that ? 





If it helps performance, we should ideally do it. 

But, considering we are days away from glusterfs-7.0 branching, should we do it 
now, or wait for branch out, and make it default for next version? (so that it 
gets time for testing). Considering it is about consistency I would like to 
hear everyone's opinion here. 

Regards, 
Amar
