Draft slide of Demystifying DHT in GlusterFS

This document discusses distributed hash tables (DHT) in GlusterFS. It introduces key terminology like bricks, volumes, and nodes. It explains that GlusterFS uses a distributed hash model to store and access files across multiple servers, organizing and displaying files as if they were stored locally. This allows for centralized storage and easier distribution of documents to multiple clients without using the clients' local storage resources. The document then outlines how DHT solves problems and lists some common file operations like mkdir, create, lookup, and read that DHT facilitates. It also addresses managing scalability through operations like expanding volumes, rebalancing, and replacing bricks.
