Feature Request: adjust replication factor on existing volumes using heketi-cli

Feature request/Missing functionality

How do I adjust the replication factor of existing volumes. Heketi provides functionality to add nodes to a cluster, but I can't find a way using heketi to add bricks with a new replication factor.

I could just create bricks and add those with new replication factor using 'gluster' cli utility. Then the volumes would be like I want them, but wouldn't that disturb the topology database Heketi keeps track of itself?

Hi @robdewit , thanks for your request!
Currently this is not possible, but definitely something we'd want to look into implementing in the future.

I have fixed it using the db editing functionality that has been added lately. I had to add the bricks using 'gluster' and then edit the database JSON file and re-import it.

Still, I would prefer doing it with hekeit-cli.
