Other big changes
-----------------
* **GlusterD Daemon code
refactoring**: GlusterD
manages a lot of other daemons (bricks, NFS server, SHD, rebalance
etc.), and there are several more on the way. This refactoring will
introduce a common framework to manage all these daemons, which will
make maintainance easier.
* **RCU in GlusterD**: GlusterD has issues
with thread synchronization and data access. This has been discussed on
<http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-devel/2014-December/043382.html>
. We will be using the RCU method to solve these issues and will be
using [Userspace-RCU](http://urcu.so) to help with the implementation.
