Submitted by mistake before filling in the info. Hence adding the info

Description of problem:
======================
When i tried to add a tier to EC volume, the bricks were consumed as though it was a distribute bricks.
That means the volume is getting converted to distribute-disperse.
There are no tier xattrs too.
We need to support tier with disperse/EC volume as this is a usecase where cutomers would want to use a cold tier as disperse type with the hot tier as SSDs

Steps to Reproduce:
===================

1. Create a disperse volume and start it
   [root@interstellar ~]# gluster v create ec1 disperse-data 2 redundancy 1   transformers:/pavanbrick1/ec1/b1 interstellar:/pavanbrick1/ec1/b1 transformers:/pavanbrick1/ec1/rb1 force
volume create: ec1: success: please start the volume to access data
[root@interstellar ~]# gluster v start ec1
volume start: ec1: success
[root@interstellar ~]# gluster v status ec1
Status of volume: ec1

Task Status of Volume ec1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no active volume tasks

2.Now add a tier 
[root@interstellar ~]# gluster v attach-tier ec1 transformers:/pavanbrick2/ec1/hb1 interstellar:/pavanbrick2/ec1/hb1

3.check the vol info
[root@interstellar ~]# gluster v info ec1
 
Volume Name: ec1
Type: Distributed-Disperse
Volume ID: 1c47d8a3-f26f-4ef5-ad32-7da3462aaa61
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 1 x (2 + 1) = 5
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: interstellar:/pavanbrick2/ec1/hb1
Brick2: transformers:/pavanbrick2/ec1/hb1
Brick3: transformers:/pavanbrick1/ec1/b1
Brick4: interstellar:/pavanbrick1/ec1/b1
Brick5: transformers:/pavanbrick1/ec1/rb1



Expected results:
==================
support Tiering with EC properly.

Comment 3 Dan Lambright 2015-04-01 22:49:43 UTC
This should be addressed in bug 1206517 .

Comment 4 Dan Lambright 2015-04-21 18:22:05 UTC
We no longer display "Distributed-Disperse" when a tier is attached. Fix 10054 made is such that the volume type is "tier". As this is the only problem referred to in this bug I am returning it. We will further change the volume info to separate out hot bricks from cold bricks but this is being tracked by 1206546.

Comment 5 Niels de Vos 2015-05-15 13:07:35 UTC
This change should not be in "ON_QA", the patch posted for this bug is only available in the master branch and not in a release yet. Moving back to MODIFIED until there is an beta release for the next GlusterFS version.

Comment 6 Joseph Elwin Fernandes 2016-02-14 03:58:23 UTC
This bug is solved in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1206517
And hence
