> Thanks Ivan, so I'd like to propose we (the Cinder team) discuss a few
things (again):
1. Deprecate the BDD driver
Based on the data here LVM+LIO the delta in performance (with the
exception of the Terravalidate run against 3TB) doesn't seem significant
enough to warrant maintaining an additional driver that has only a subset
of features implemented. It would be good to understand why that
particular test has such a significant peformance gap.
2. Consider getting buy off to move the default implementation to use the
LIO driver and consider deprecating the TGT driver
I realize this probably isn't a sufficient enough data set to make those
two decisions but I think it's at least enough to have a more informed
discussion this time.
Thanks,
John
