[Gluster-users] A very special announcement from Gluster.org
Today, we?re announcing the next generation of GlusterFS , version 3.3. The
release has been a year in the making and marks several firsts: the first
post-acquisition release under Red Hat, our first major act as an
openly-governed project and our first foray beyond NAS. We?ve also taken our
first steps towards merging big data and unstructured data storage, giving users
and developers new ways of managing their data scalability challenges.
GlusterFS is an open source, fully distributed storage solution for the world?s
ever-increasing volume of unstructured data. It is a software-only, highly
available, scale-out, centrally managed storage pool that can be backed by POSIX
filesystems that support extended attributes, such as Ext3/4, XFS, BTRFS and
many more.
This release provides many of the most commonly requested features including
proactive self-healing, quorum enforcement, and granular locking for
self-healing, as well as many additional bug fixes and enhancements.
Some of the more noteworthy features include:
? Unified File and Object storage ? Blending OpenStack?s Object Storage API
with GlusterFS provides simultaneous read and write access to data as files or
as objects.
? HDFS compatibility ? Gives Hadoop administrators the ability to run
MapReduce jobs on unstructured data on GlusterFS and access the data with
well-known tools and shell scripts.
? Proactive self-healing ? GlusterFS volumes will now automatically restore
file integrity after a replica recovers from failure.
? Granular locking ? Allows large files to be accessed even during
self-healing, a feature that is particularly important for VM images.
? Replication improvements ? With quorum enforcement you can be confident
that your data has been written in at least the configured number of places
before the file operation returns, allowing a user-configurable adjustment to
fault tolerance vs performance.
Visit http://www.gluster.org to download. Packages are available for most
distributions, including Fedora, Debian, RHEL, Ubuntu and CentOS.

GlusterFS is an open source project sponsored by Red Hat ?, who uses it in its
line of Red Hat Storage products.
