Luis Pabon 92fdc68d6b Initial community documentation

Community documentation is being written in Markdown
format because we can leverage GitHub.com's ability
to render Markdown into HTML directly from files
in the repo.  Also, the GlusterFS Community project
has decided to use Markdown as an input into the
tool called pandoc which can convert the documents
into multiple formats.

GlusterFS Installation

First, we need to install GlusterFS on the system by following the instructions on GlusterFS QuickStart Guide.

Fedora/RHEL/CentOS

Gluster for Swift depends on OpenStack Swift Grizzly, which can be obtained by using RedHat's RDO packages as follows:

yum install -y http://rdo.fedorapeople.org/openstack/openstack-grizzly/rdo-release-grizzly.rpm

Download

Gluster for Swift uses Jenkins for continuous integration and creation of distribution builds. Download the latest RPM builds from one of the links below:

RHEL/CentOS 6: Download
Fedora 18+: Download

Install the downloaded RPM using the following command:

yum install -y RPMFILE

where RPMFILE is the RPM file downloaded from Jenkins.

Once this is done, you can access GlusterFS volumes via the Swift API where accounts are mounted volumes, containers are top-level directories, and objects are files and sub-directories of container directories.
