Proposal Description

Overview and The Need

Any relevant experience you have

I have taken a course in computer organization which had us program a little bit in C and assembly. Additionally, I will be taking principles of system design in spring, where i'll be using C extensively. After the course I expect to have moderate experience with C enabling me to understand the code in a timely manner.

How do you intend to implement your proposal

Refactoring will be done in the code base to a certain extent as discussed with the mentor and also the journaling feature - 'changelog' of glusterfs will be customised to serve the file-level synchronization.
