Hi everyone, i have just committed a plugin for the uWSGI application server<br>
for exposing glusterfs filesystems using the new native api:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi-docs/blob/master/GlusterFS.rst" target="_blank">https://github.com/unbit/uwsgi-docs/blob/master/GlusterFS.rst</a><br>
<br>
Currently it is very simple, but works really well.<br>
<br>
I have studied the whole api, and i have two questions:<br>
<br>
why there is no glfs_stat_async() ?<br>
<br>
if i understand the code well, even stat() is a blocking operation.<br>
<br>
My objective is avoiding the use of threads and processes and use the<br>
uWSGI async api to implement a non blocking-approach (mixable with other<br>
engines like gevent or Coro::AnyEvent)<br>
<br>
Another thing is the bison/yacc nameclash. uWSGI allows you to load<br>
various external libraries and the use of the default 'yy' prefix causes<br>
nameclashes with common libraries (like matheval).<br>
<br>
I understand that matheval too should choose a better approach, but why<br>
not prefixing it like glusterfsyy ? This would avoid headaches, even for<br>
when people will start using the library in higher level languages.<br>
<br>
Currently i have tried the YFLAGS env var hack for ./configure but it did<br>
not work (i am using bison)<br>
<br>
YFLAGS="-Dapi.prefix=glusterfsyy -d" ./configure --prefix=/opt/glusterfs/<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for your attention<br>
