<br>
As some of you may know, Jon Bernard (jbernard on IRC) has been working<br>
on the RBD v2.1 replication implementation [1] for a while, and we would<br>
like to request a Feature Freeze Exception for that work, as we believe<br>
it is a good candidate being a low risk change for the integrity of<br>
the existing functionality in the driver:<br>
<br>
- It's non intrusive if it's not enabled (enabled using<br>
replication_device configuration option).<br>
- It doesn't affect existing deployments (disabled by default).<br>
- Changes are localized to the driver itself (rbd.py) and the driver<br>
unit tests file (test_rbd.py).<br>
<br>
Jon would have liked to make this request himself, but due to the<br>
untimely arrival of his newborn baby this is not possible.<br>
<br>
For obvious reasons Jon will not be available for a little while, but<br>
this will not be a problem, as I am well acquainted with the code -and<br>
I'll be able to reach Jon if necessary- and will be taking care of the<br>
final steps of the review process of his patch: replying to comments in<br>
a timely fashion, making changes to the code as required, and answering<br>
pings on IRC regarding the patch.<br>
<br>
Since some people may be interested in testing this functionality during<br>
the reviewing process -or just for fun- I'll be publishing a post with<br>
detailed explanation on how to deploy and test this feature as well as<br>
an automated way to deploy 2 Ceph clusters -linked to be mirroring one<br>
another-, and one devstack node with everything ready to test the<br>
functionality (configuration and keys for the Ceph clusters, cinder<br>
configuration, the latest upstream patch, and a volume type with the<br>
right configuration).<br>
<br>
Please, do not hesitate to ask if there are any questions to or concerns<br>
related to this request.<br>
<br>
Thank you for taking the time to evaluate this request.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Gorka.<br>
