Gluster users - Feb 2018 - Scheduled AutoCommit Function for WORM Feature

Hello Gluster Community,

while reading that article:
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs-specs/blob/master/under_review/worm-compliance.md

there seems to be an interesting feature planned for the WORM Xlator:

*Scheduled Auto-commit*: Scan Triggered Using timeouts for untouched files.
The next scheduled namespace scan will cause the transition. CTR DB via
libgfdb can be used to find files that have not changed. This can be
verified with stat of the file.

Is this feature still in focus? It is very usefull I think. A client does
not have to trigger a FOP to make a file WORM-Retained after the expiration
of the autcommit-period.

Regards
David Spisla

Hi David,

Yes it is a good to have feature, but AFAIK it is currently not in the
priority/focus list.
If anyone from community is interested in implementing this, is most
welcome.
Otherwise you need to wait for some more time until it comes to focus.

Thanks & Regards,
Karthik
