Priority Actions:
James (50%): 100Gb/s Gateways
Brij: Deletions – can we scale or do we need async?
Alex: Writable WN gateways
Jyothish: Containerized XRootD
Ian: Improving buffer layer in XrdCeph
Development needed to ensure that we can cope with much higher data rates (i.e. 100Gb/s NIC)
Long term sustainability of code base (Libradosstriper, ALICE authz plugin)
Data Safety –
Correct Operation, verified by (multiple?) checksums to assure integrity
Deletions – satisfy VO requirements
Availablility –
Cope with varying load – containerise?
Usability –
support for multiple authN methods
??
Sustainability –
utilisation of resources (human effort, energy ysage, etc)
Q: Development scope of knowledge
Alice AuthN plugin availability?
Virtual placement improvements? hybrid cache/noncache cluster in cmsd
improviing buffer layer in xrdceph
On the fly checksumming/ deletion
writable WN gateways (separate WN and external GW traffic)
containerised XRootD (kubernetes orchestration, autoscaling
correct port access moving caching to xrootd ceph?
host certs for containers
tuning vector reads
performance monitoring
testing framework (Mariam is working on)
redirector level op summary
log file processing/scraping
