build: do not #include "config.h" in each file

2015-05-29T12:43:17+00:00

Instead of including config.h in each file, and have the additional
config.h included from the compiler commandline (-include option).

When a .c file tests for a certain #define, and config.h was not
included, incorrect assumtions were made. With this change, it can not
happen again.

Avoid conflict between contrib/uuid and system uuid

2015-04-04T17:48:35+00:00

glusterfs relies on Linux uuid implementation, which
API is incompatible with most other systems's uuid. As
a result, libglusterfs has to embed contrib/uuid,
which is the Linux implementation, on non Linux systems.
This implementation is incompatible with systtem's
built in, but the symbols have the same names.

Usually this is not a problem because when we link
with -lglusterfs, libc's symbols are trumped. However
there is a problem when a program not linked with
-lglusterfs will dlopen() glusterfs component. In
such a case, libc's uuid implementation is already
loaded in the calling program, and it will be used
instead of libglusterfs's implementation, causing
crashes.

A possible workaround is to use pre-load libglusterfs
in the calling program (using LD_PRELOAD on NetBSD for
instance), but such a mechanism is not portable, nor
is it flexible. A much better approach is to rename
libglusterfs's uuid_* functions to gf_uuid_* to avoid
any possible conflict. This is what this change attempts.

meta: (re-)Implement Meta translator

2014-05-06T00:28:55+00:00

The meta translator exposes details about glusterfs itself
in the form of a virtual namespace.

Loading the translator on the client side creates the
meta virtual view under $mntpoint/.meta by default. The
directory is not listed (even with ls -a) and can be
accessed by doing a "cd /mnt/.meta"
