Annoyingly enough, the Google Doc form won't let people outside of the
Google Apps domain view it, which is not going to be super helpful for
this.

I'll go ahead and close the Google form, send out the talks that have
already been added, and have the form link back to this mailing list post.
Thanks!

Here's my proposal:

Topic: State of the CI and future

It'll cover the following topics:
* Current state of our CI system.
* Planned improvements for the next year.
* A timboxed discussion about what needs to improve.

nigelb

Here is one of the proposal from my end:

"Gluster maintainers responsibilities"
Theme - Process & Infrastructure

- Tracking incoming reviews and managing pending review backlogs with the
help of peer reviews/review marathon on a weekly basis

- Bug triaging & prioritization  - Current form of community bugzilla
triaging is all about putting a keyword "triaged" and assigning the BZ
to
right people and at most asking for further logs/information, while this
helps in the initial screening but maintainers need to further look into
them from their component and come up with a plan on "when to fix
what"
sort of model for bug fix updates.

- Addressing community users issues on a regular basis (both over email &
IRC)

- Keeping a track on overall component health (cumulation of above three)

The key point to discuss with touching upon all the above points is how to
balance out all of these activities with the other commitments (mostly
development) you have for the project deliverables.

Here's a proposal ...

Title: State of Gluster Performance
Theme: Stability and Performance

I hope to achieve the following in this talk:

* present a brief overview of current performance for the broad
workload classes: large-file sequential and random workloads,
small-file and metadata-intensive workloads.

* highlight some use-cases where we are seeing really good
performance.

* highlight some of the areas of concerns, covering in some detail
the state of analysis and work in progress.

Regards,
Manoj

Hi All,


Here is my proposal

Tittle : Debugging a live gluster file system using .meta directory

Theme : Troubleshooting

Meta is a client side xlator which provide  an interface similar to the
Linux procfs, for GlusterFS runtime and configuration.

The contents are provided using a virtual hidden directory called .meta
which is inside the root of GlusterFS mount.


Planning to cover the following topics:

* current state of meta xlators,

* Information's that can be fetched through .meta directory

* Debugging with .meta directory (for both developers and users)

* Enhancement planned for meta xlators

* Other troubleshooting  options like statedump,io-stat, etc


Regards

Rafi KC

Here's my proposal:

Title: GFProxy: Scaling the GlusterFS FUSE Client
Theme: Experience / (Process & Infrastructure)

I plan to cover the following topics:

- Discuss the benefits of the FUSE client vs. NFS & how we use it @ Facebook
today
- Discuss scalability challenges with the FUSE client, operational overhead,
etc.
- Introduce GFProxy:
     - Splitting the core parts of the fuse client (DHT + AFR) into a separate
daemon, which effectively acts as a proxy between FUSE clients and bricks
     - Managing failover in the GFProxy FUSE Client with the AHA (Advanced High
Availability) xlator
     - Current deployment & code status (hope to get this upstream soon!)

Proposals:
1) Design of glfstrace tool

What happens in a File operation has been a bit difficult to figure out
looking at the workload, so we need a tool similar to strace which shows
the fops that are being wound/unwound though the clients and servers. We
can use the eventing infra by Aravinda to get this information from both
clients and servers which would help in debugging.

May even show a demo if I find time to implement this :-).

2) Reducing negative lookups using hash of the files/bloom filters/cuckoo
filters

Poornima and I were discussing about how to reduce the number of lookups
that need to fail with ENOENT before a create/mknod/mkdir etc fops need to
come. We see that almost 40% of the workload was negative lookups for
small-file create workload. What we came up with is a translator which
starts tracking creation of files in a directory as soon as a directory is
created using that mount. For each creation inside this new directory it
marks the file name as used using hashtable or a filter(bloom/cuckoo). Now
if a lookup on a name that was never created in that directory comes, we
can give ENOENT directly from the client without doing a lookup on the
cluster. We will discuss how we will be using leases to make sure this
solution is accurate. We would also like to present/seek inputs about how
to extend it in future.

May even show a demo if I find time to implement this :-).

I'd like to propose a discussion, mainly to get opinions and ideas of
others about a design I'm thinking of applying for certain features.

Thanks,
Niels


Title:
  Client initiated server-side processing - A.k.a. FOP-Bouncing

Summary:
  Certain operations a client wants to do can be offloaded to the
storage servers. One of these is server-sode-copy where a client wants
to copy a file from one Gluster volume to an other. It is inefficient to
read the file (transfer) to the client, and then write it to the server
again. It would be nice for a client to send the copy operation to one
of the storage servers and have the storage server take care of the
actual reading+writing of the data.

A possible way to accomplish this, is by using the upcall framework, and
have a special (per server) process listening for specific upcall
events. If a client sends the server-side-copy, the brick receiving it
can create an upcall event that is handled only by a server-side
process to offload the copy.

I might call this design FOP-Bouncing, unless someone comes up with a
more suitable name.

Here's one from me:

Sharding in GlusterFS - Past, Present and Future

I intend to cover the following in this talk:

* What sharding is, what are its benefits over striping and in general..
* Current design
* Use cases - VM image store/HC/ROBO
* Challenges - atomicity, synchronization across multiple clients,
performance etc
* Future directions - sharding for general purpose use-cases [WIP]
                              (optionally inter-op with other features like
file snapshots etc,
                               if I find time to think of some solution by
Oct).

I'd like to propose a general presentation about Samba
to increase the understanding of what Samba does and how
it does it.

working title: "Samba, alien imposer of strange workloads"

Items to be covered:

- samba in general: history and overview
- SMB: some details about the protocol
- layout of process model and async code in samba
- samba-clustering with ctdb
- samba<->gluster interaction (vfs module)

This would cover some basics of how to set up
samba on top of gluster, but the main focus would be
to increase the understanding of the interactions between
samba and its interaction with gluster for a developer,
specifically why Samba imposes so many notoriously hard workloads.

a second proposal:

topic: "Multi-Protocol support for Gluster"

Background:
Multi-Protocol support refers to the the idea of
accessing the same data with different access protocols,
in the gluster case, there are fuse, nfs, and smb.
This is a much-requested feature, which is currently
not supported.

Contents:
The purpose of this presentation is to explain the challenges
in general, and specific to Gluster, and to give an overview of
where we currently are.
Very big emphasis will be put onto the aspect of testing.

Presenter:
Michael Adam
obnox at samba.org / obnox at redhat.com

Copresenter(s): Rajesh Joseph would be an ideal copresenter.
Alternatively, Poornima or R.Talur who have all been working
on the Gluster-underpinnings for multi-protocol.

Hello,

Here is a proposal I'd like to make.

Title: Throttling in gluster 
(https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs-specs/blob/master/accepted/throttling.md)
Theme: Performance and scalability.

The talk/ discussion will be focused on server side throttling of FOPS, 
using a throttling translator. The primary consumer of this would be 
self-heal traffic in AFR but can be extended to other clients as well.
I'm working on getting it working for AFR for the first cut so that the 
multi-threaded self-heal (courtesy facebook) can be enabled without 
consuming system resources too much possibly leading to client starvation.
I'm hoping to have some discussions around this to make it more generic 
and see if it can be aligned with long term goals for QoS in gluster.

Thanks.
Ravi

Hi All,

I would like to propose below talk under the theme "Process & 
Infrastructure"

Title : Ovirt + Gluster

Ovirt is mainly a Virtualization management platform. It supports KVM 
based viritualization capabilities.
Gluster managment integration with Ovirt gives a cool web UI for the 
admin to manage the Gluster cluster.

Agenda:

1) Ovirt and its components.
2) How do one manage Gluster Cluster and perform various admin related 
tasks like add/remove/replace brick, Creating Snapshots etc
3) Nagios integration
4) Ovirt and Gluster Hyperconvergence

Thanks

Hi,

I would like to propose below topic as a lightening talk.

Title: Data Logging to monitor Gluster Performance

Theme: Process and Infrastructure

To benchmark any software product, we often need to do performance 
analysis of the system along with the product. I have written a tool 
"System Monitor" to collect required data like CPU, memory usage and 
load average periodically (with graphical representation) of any process 
on a system. This data collected can help in analyzing the system & 
product performance.

 From this talk I would like to give an overview of this tool and 
explain how it can be used to monitor Gluster performance.

Agenda:
   - Overview of the tool and its usage
   - Collecting the data in an excel sheet at regular intervals of time
   - Plotting the graph with that data (in progress)
   - a short demo

Thanks & Regards,

Arthy

Hi all,

I'd like to propose the following talk for Gluster Developer Summit 2016.

Title: How an external application looking to integrate with Gluster can 
use the CLI to get the state of a cluster

Theme: Experience (Developers integrating Gluster with other ecosystems)

Gluster 3.9 will have a new CLI that can be used to get the local state 
representation of a cluster. This can be used by external applications 
(like storage managers) to get a representation of the entire state of a 
cluster. I plan to talk about this during the summit and will cover the 
following:

- Introduction
- List of data points covered in the state representation
- How to consume this CLI
- Discussion on what other data points might need to be added later on.
- Demo (External application representing the state of a cluster using 
data obtained from the CLI)

Thanks and Regards,

Samikshan
