Marton Elek commented on HDDS-4904:
-----------------------------------
I would prefer to be precious with the wording what we use. CSI
interface/driver is nothing more, just providing a simple daemon which can
create and mount the buckets on demand.
The Ozone CSI daemon itself (which is responsible for creating the bucket and
executing the mount/umount operations) can be production ready.
BUT the mount command which is used by CSI can be or not be production ready,
depends on the choice of the options (goofys, s3fs-fuse, s3fuse or s3backer)
and the requirement (is POSIX security required? is caching required? read or
read only mounts are required?).
I agree with the idea to clarify this distinction between the CSI driver itself
and the mounting options. But saying so that CSI driver is not production
ready, BECAUSE goofys is not production ready is confusing and can be
mis-leading.
Again, I agree: It's important to explain that the whole production-readiness
depends on 3rd party fuse drivers, and we should clearly state that it's the
decision of the user to choose Fuse file system driver as Ozone doesn't provide
a native one (yet).

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-4904
> Project: Apache Ozone
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Arpit Agarwal
> Assignee: Dinesh Chitlangia
> Priority: Critical
>
> The Ozone website prominently mentions CSI support:
> [https://ozone.apache.org/docs/1.0.0/]
> [https://ozone.apache.org/docs/1.0.0/interface/csi.html]
> Our docs give a false impression to users that CSI is fully functional and
> supported for persistent storage inside containers.
> This support uses goofys+S3 gateway, so it is not appropriate for any serious
> usage. A real CSI solution should use an approach like the cBlocks prototype
> by building directly on top of HDDS containers with a real device driver.
> Until that time we should not claim CSI support. Alternatively we should be
> honest with our users that it is a prototype and not suitable for serious
> usage.
