Discussion on thin arbiter volume - https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/352#issuecomment-350981148 Main idea of having this rpm package is to deploy thin-arbiter without glusterd and other commands on a node, and all we need on that tie-breaker node is to run a single glusterfs command. Also note that, no other glusterfs installation needs thin-arbiter.so. Make sure RPM contains sample vol file, which can work by default, and a script to configure that volfile, along with translator image.

Testing
GlusterFS source contains some functional tests under tests/ directory. All
these tests are run against every patch submitted for review. If you want your
patch to be tested, please add a .t test file as part of your patch submission.
You can also submit a patch to only add a .t file for the test case you are
aware of.
To run these tests, on your test-machine, just run ./run-tests.sh. Don't run
this on a machine where you have 'production' glusterfs is running, as it would
blindly kill all gluster processes in each runs.
If you are sending a patch, and want to validate one or few specific tests, then run a single test by running the below command.
bash# /bin/bash ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t
You can also use prove tool if available in your machine, as follows.
bash# prove -vmfe '/bin/bash' ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t
