What are the downsides of Gluster?

• rodgerd 6y ago
  Gluster's performance with metadata heavy workloads is very poor. If you're running files with a high ratio of data:metadata, it works well; if you're running something like a git repo on Gluster it is not a great experience. It's also thrashing a bit development wise; there's a lot of features being pruned, and I'm a little concerned what its future looks like as Red Hat push harder down the Ceph route, since they're the main source of code contributions to Gluster.
