cluster/ec: Change default read policy to gfid-hash
Problem:
Whenever we read data from file over NFS, NFS reads
more data then requested and caches it. Based on the
stat information it makes sure that the cached/pre-read
data is valid or not.
Consider 4 + 2 EC volume and all the bricks are on
differnt nodes.
In EC, with round-robin read policy, reads are sent on
different set of data bricks. This way, it balances the
read fops to go on all the bricks and avoid heating UP
(overloading) same set of bricks.
Due to small difference in clock speed, it is possible
that we get minor difference for atime, mtime or ctime
for different bricks. That might cause a different stat
returned to NFS based on which NFS will discard
cached/pre-read data which is actually not changed and
could be used.
Solution:
Change read policy for EC as gfid-hash. That will force
all the read to go to same set of bricks.
