* build: do not create versioned <xlator>.so filesNiels de Vos2014-05-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There has been a misspelled option in the Makefile.am files. The option is called -avoid-version, and not -avoidversion. It is not trivial to provide a test-case for this. One way would be to check generated RPMs with a command like this (output should be empty): $ rpm -qlp *.rpm | grep -E '/xlator/.+.so.0' Change-Id: Ie1519455c9f9366feee0d3cafcc384b9eff57776 Reviewed-on-master: http://review.gluster.org/7299 BUG: 1078365 Signed-off-by: Niels de Vos <ndevos@redhat.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.org/7301 Reviewed-by: Lalatendu Mohanty <lmohanty@redhat.com> Tested-by: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.com> Reviewed-by: Kaleb KEITHLEY <kkeithle@redhat.com>
* features/compress: Compression/DeCompression translatorPrashanth Pai2013-11-116-0/+1038
* When a writev call occurs, the client compresses the data before sending it to server. On the server, compressed data is decompressed. Similarly, when a readv call occurs, the server compresses the data before sending it to client. On the client, the compressed data is decompressed. Thus the amount of data sent over the wire is minimized. * Compression/Decompression is done using Zlib library. * During normal operation, this is the format of data sent over wire : <compressed-data> + trailer(8) The trailer contains the CRC32 checksum and length of original uncompressed data. This is used for validation.
