<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any plan or interest in getting the management functions added to gfapi? – looks pretty much like the client library functions could be added.

<p class="MsoNormal">Any interest or plans to have more operations exposed (especially brick status change notifications to be propagated to applications)? I’m wondering if gluster cli could be built
on this library – it would involve taking the functionality that exists in the cli into a library and separating out the console interactions.<u></u><u></u></p>
