Marton Elek commented on HDDS-4904:
-----------------------------------
bq. however this fuse based CSI driver is a dead end
Can you please explain why is it a dead end? Based on my understanding it can
be a very good solution, but we need native fuse driver instead of an s3 based.
bq. Yes I understand the benefits of a proper CSI driver. The one we have
currently doesn't meet the bar.
My feeling is that still we talk about two different things. When I talk about
CSI driver I talk about "hadoop-ozone/csi", while it is very simple I am
wondering what is missing from there. Not from goofys or from any other fuse
drivers, but from this specific project?
If I understood well you are unhappy with one specific fuse driver
implementation which is selected as the default.
I think it's an existing (alpha) feature of Apache Ozone. It's fair point to
improve the documentation and make it clean what can it do, but I would not
remove it.
(Note: I would have totally different opinion about a vendor dependent
distribution of Apache Ozone...)
> Remove mention of CSI support

> Key: HDDS-4904
> 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.
