greg
- osd: error handling
- uclient: readdir from cache
- mds: basic auth checks

later
- document on-wire protocol
- authentication
- client reconnect after long eviction; and slow delayed reconnect
- repair
- mds security enforcement
- client, user authentication
- cas
- osd failure declarations
- rename over old files should flush data, or revert back to old contents

rados
- make rest interface superset of s3?
  - create/delete snapshots
  - list, access snapped version
- perl swig wrapper
- 'rados call foo.bar'?
- merge pgs
- destroy pg_pools
- autosize pg_pools?
- security

repair
- namespace reconstruction tool
- repair pg (rebuild log)  (online or offline?  ./cosd --repair_pg 1.ef?)
- repair file ioctl?
- are we concerned about
  - scrubbing
  - reconstruction after loss of subset of cdirs
  - reconstruction after loss of md log
- data object 
  - path backpointers?
  - parent dir pointer?
- mds scrubbing

kclient
- ENOMEM
  - message pools
  - sockets?  (this can actual generates a lockdep warning :/)
- use page lists for large messages?  e.g. reconnect
- fs-portable file layout virtual xattr (see Andreas' -fsdevel thread)
- statlite
- audit/combine/rework/whatever invalidate, writeback threads and associated invariants
- add cap to release if we get fouled up in fill_inode et al?
- make caps reservations per-client
- fix up ESTALE handling
- don't retry on ENOMEM on non-nofail requests in kick_requests
- make cap import/export more efficient?
- flock, fnctl locks
- ACLs
  - init security xattrs
- should we try to ref CAP_PIN on special inodes that are open?  
- fix readdir vs fragment race by keeping a separate frag pos, and ignoring dentries below it
- inotify for updates from other clients?

vfs issues
- real_lookup() race:
  1- hash lookup find no dentry
  2- real_lookup() takes dir i_mutex, but then finds a dentry
  3- drops mutex, then calld d_revalidate.  if that fails, we return ENOENT (instead of looping?)
- vfs_rename_dir()
- a getattr mask would be really nice

filestore
- make min sync interval self-tuning (ala xfs, ext3?)
- get file csum?

btrfs
- clone compressed inline extents
- ioctl to pull out data csum?

osd
- gracefully handle ENOSPC
- gracefully handle EIO?
- client session object
  - track client's osdmap; and only share latest osdmap with them once!
- what to do with lost objects.. continue peering?
- segregate backlog from log ondisk?
- preserve pg logs on disk for longer period
- make scrub interruptible
- optionally separate osd interfaces (ips) for clients and osds (replication, peering, etc.)
- pg repair
- pg split should be a work queue
- optimize remove wrt recovery pushes?

uclient
- fix client_lock vs other mutex with C_SafeCond
- clean up check_caps to more closely mirror kclient logic
- readdir from cache
- fix readdir vs fragment race by keeping a separate frag pos, and ignoring dentries below it
- hadoop: clean up assert usage

mds
- pass issued, wanted into eval(lock) when eval() already has it?  (and otherwise optimize eval paths..)
- add an up:shadow mode?
  - tail the mds log as it is written
  - periodically check head so that we trim, too
- handle slow client reconnect (i.e. after mds has gone active)
- anchor_destroy needs to xlock linklock.. which means it needs a Mutation wrapper?
  - ... when it gets a caller.. someday..
- add FILE_CAP_EXTEND capability bit
- dir fragment
  - maybe just take dftlock for now, to keep it simple.
- dir merge
- snap
  - hard link backpointers
    - anchor source dir
    - build snaprealm for any hardlinked file
    - include snaps for all (primary+remote) parents
  - how do we properly clean up inodes when doing a snap purge?
    - when they are mid-recover?  see 136470cf7ca876febf68a2b0610fa3bb77ad3532
  - what if a recovery is queued, or in progress, and the inode is then cowed?  can that happen?  
  - proper handling of cache expire messages during rejoin phase?
    -> i think cache expires are fine; the rejoin_ack handler just has to behave if rejoining items go missing

- clustered
  - on replay, but dirty scatter replicas on lists so that they get flushed?  or does rejoin handle that?
  - linkage vs cdentry replicas and remote rename....
  - rename: importing inode... also journal imported client map?

mon
- how to shrink cluster?
- how to tell osd to cleanly shut down
- mds injectargs N should take mds# or id.  * should bcast to standy mds's.
- paxos need to clean up old states.
  - default: simple max of (state count, min age), so that we have at least N hours of history, say?
  - osd map: trim only old maps < oldest "in" osd up_from

osdmon
- monitor needs to monitor some osds...

pgmon
/- include osd vector with pg state
  - check for orphan pgs
- monitor pg states, notify on out?
- watch osd utilization; adjust overload in cluster map

crush
- allow forcefeed for more complicated rule structures.  (e.g. make force_stack a list< set<int> >)

simplemessenger
- close idle connections?

objectcacher
- read locks?
- maintain more explicit inode grouping instead of wonky hashes

cas
- chunking.  see TTTD in
   ESHGHI, K.
   A framework for analyzing and improving content-based chunking algorithms.
   Tech. Rep. HPL-2005-30(R.1), Hewlett Packard Laboratories, Palo Alto, 2005. 

radosgw
 - handle gracefully location related requests
 - logging control (?)
 - parse date/time better
 - upload using post
 - torrent
 - handle gracefully PUT/GET requestPayment
