This page contains a list of project ideas which will be suitable for students (for GSOC, internship etc.)
Projects/Features which needs contributors
RIO
Issue: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/243
This is a new distribution logic, which can scale Gluster to 1000s of nodes.
Composition xlator for small files
Merge small files into a designated large file using our own custom semantics. This can improve our small file performance.
Path based geo-replication
Issue: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/460
This would allow remote volume to be of different type (NFS/S3 etc etc) too.
Project Quota support
Issue: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/184
This will make Gluster's Quota faster, and also provide desired behavior.
Cluster testing framework based on gluster-tester
Repo: https://github.com/aravindavk/gluster-tester
Build a cluster using docker images (or VMs). Write a tool which would extend current gluster testing's .t format to take NODE as an addition parameter to run command. This would make upgrade and downgrade testing very easy and feasible.
Network layer changes
Issue: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/391
There is many improvements we can do in this area
