Add easy mechanism to return backup volfile servers

Open prashanthpai opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

The backup servers are slightly less relevant as the glusterfs client (fuse,libgfapi) will get this list in the response to GETSPEC that happens during mount. Refer: gluster/glusterd2#382

However, clients will need failover during initial mount. More discussion here: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/351#issuecomment-387633201

Some first thoughts on this mechanism:

  • Implement it as an API in restclient but not as REST endpoint. The resclient can gather the backup volfile servers using peer list and/or volume list.
  • Return this list as response header in volume status or volume start API.

Not a blocker for GCS/1.0 based on the revised MVP.
