[CI] CI project and getting the code ready for merging upstream

[Aneesh K. <ane...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I am looking at cleaning up CI code  and getting it ready for
submission to upstream. The motivation is to get a transport
independent cluster communication framework.

You can find more info at
http://kvaneesh.livejournal.com/22205.html

I have uploaded the work at
http://www.radian.org/~kvaneesh/gitweb.cgi

the ci-to-linus project.

Let me know what you think. Also if anybody like to help let me know.

I don't know of any other project that implement a cluster
infrastructure. OCFS2 uses tcp and GFS uses sctp. That to they do the
entire coding using socket interface. The way i look at it is CI is
what VFS to file system. It allows a transport independent framework
for writing cluster services.

What does Red Hat's Cluster Suite use?

I thought it was cman (cluster manager) and that it had a kernel component.

Heartbeat from linux-ha is compatible with AIS now.  I'm not sure if
AIS is a kernel communication solution that heartbeat can sit above,
or if AIS is a userland capability that heartbeat exports to ais
clients.

That is the membership part. I am looking at using CMAN for the
reworked CI. What CI should provide is a framework for writing cluster
services without worrying about the transport part.

That can be a very political process given the number of projects
interested in cluster infrastructure.  Do you have any reason to think
upstream will accept CI from openSSI?
