Description of problem: "gluster volume set help (or help-xml)" is implemented as a cluster-wide operation. This makes querying for a static (and local) information more costly than it ought to be. This would make it prohibitive for any UI (eg. OVirt for glusterfs) built on top of glusterd. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mainline How reproducible: Consistent Steps to Reproduce: 1. Issue "gluster volume set help" (or help-xml) 2. 3. Actual results: Must notice messages exchanged among glusterd peers (eg. lock op, stage op, etc) Expected results: Must not see any messages exchanged among peers on issuing gluster volume set help (or help-xml) Additional info:
