Description of problem: Current rebalance throttle options: lazy/normal/aggressive may not always be sufficient for the purpose of throttling. In our recent test, we observed for certain setups, normal and aggressive modes behaved similarly consuming full disk bandwidth. So in cases like this admin can tune it down(or vice versa) depending on the need.

COMMIT: https://review.gluster.org/16980 committed in master by Raghavendra G (rgowdapp) ------ commit d51288540241d1f7785bb17bdc0702c0879087a9 Author: Susant Palai <spalai> Date: Wed Mar 22 17:14:25 2017 +0530 cluster/dht: Make rebalance throttle option tuned by number Current rebalance throttle options: lazy/normal/aggressive may not always be sufficient for the purpose of throttling. In our recent test, we observed for certain setups, normal and aggressive modes behaved similarly consuming full disk bandwidth. So in cases like this admin should be able to tune it down(or vice versa) depending on the need. Along with old throttle configurations, thread counts are tuned based on number. e.g. gluster v set vol-name cluster-rebal.throttle 5. Admin can tune up/down between 0 and the number of cores available. Note: For heterogenous servers, validation will fail on the old server if "number" is given for throttle configuration. The message looks something like this: "volume set: failed: Staging failed on vm2. Error: cluster.rebal-throttle should be {lazy|normal|aggressive}" Test: Manual test by logging active thread number after reconfiguring throttle option. testcase: tests/basic/distribute/throttle-rebal.t Change-Id: I46e3cde546900307831028b344ecf601fd9b02c3 BUG: 1438370 Signed-off-by: Susant Palai <spalai> Reviewed-on: https://review.gluster.org/16980 NetBSD-regression: NetBSD Build System <jenkins.org> Smoke: Gluster Build System <jenkins.org> CentOS-regression: Gluster Build System <jenkins.org> Reviewed-by: Atin Mukherjee <amukherj> Reviewed-by: Raghavendra G <rgowdapp>
