As a separate project, any thoughts on us replacing the current CLI with<br>
a new one, based upon having a more complete RESTful API + a new CLI that<br>
does nothing but be an interface to it?<br>
<br>
In that case CLI can be completely re-written in python or any other language. This would eventually bring in more contributors to the project.<br>

That's a very good point. :)<br>
<br>
I'd only been thinking of it from the point of view of giving<br>
us a "full" RESTful API that's equivalent to the CLI. So<br>
people could do some very in depth automation and integration<br>
with it.<br>
<br>
But having the CLI as Python does sound like it would be much<br>
easier to develop + get contributors for too.<br>
<br>
Proposal for 3.6 maybe? :)<br>
</blockquote></div>
Converting existing CLI into shared object will enable developers to extend the CLI functionality as required. (Similar to libgfapi)<br>
<br>
Another wish is to create GlusterFS SDK(Includes both CLI and GfApi functionality) in multiple programming languages(Starting with Python and golang). It is easy to create web app/mobile app/REST apis if SDK is available.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have nothing against golang, but perhaps the Java community is much bigger and more serious than Go. Python and Java are, I think the two most important languages (outside C) for us to provide bindings and APIs.</div>
