### Halo Replication feature in AFR has been introduced
*Notes for users:*
+Halo Geo-replication is a feature which allows Gluster or NFS clients to write
+locally to their region (as defined by a latency "halo" or threshold if you
+like), and have their writes asynchronously propagate from their origin to the
+rest of the cluster. Clients can also write synchronously to the cluster
+simply by specifying a halo-latency which is very large (e.g. 10seconds) which
+will include all bricks.
+To enable halo feature execute the following commands:
+```bash
+# gluster volume set cluster.halo-enabled yes
+```
+
+You may have to set the following following options to change defaults.
+`cluster.halo-shd-latency`: The threshold below which self-heal daemons will
+consider children (bricks) connected.
+
+`cluster.halo-nfsd-latency`: The threshold below which NFS daemons will consider
+children (bricks) connected.
+
+`cluster.halo-latency`: The threshold below which all other clients will
+consider children (bricks) connected.
+
+`cluster.halo-min-replicas`: The minimum number of replicas which are to
+be enforced regardless of latency specified in the above 3 options.
+If the number of children falls below this threshold the next
+best (chosen by latency) shall be swapped in.
+
*Limitations:*
+None
*Known Issues:*
+None
