Will clients still work, is this server only?
Existing 32-bit GlusterFS clients (glusterfs-7 and earlier) should continue to work just fine — AFAIK — connecting to 64-bit glusterfs servers.
The proposal[1] as it stands is to drop all aspects of 32-bit support, i.e. client, server, gfapi, etc., going forward from glusterfs-8. This should be considered advanced notice that consumers that have dependencies need to plan accordingly.
Please feel free though to add your thoughts to the issue.
