Parallelstore is planned to be deprecated soon. We have already removed the blueprint examples which were using parallelstore as the file system. Before going ahead with the final removal of all parallelstore specific modules, we are adding a deprecation warning for the same.

Summary of Changes

Hello @parulbajaj01, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request formally initiates the deprecation process for the parallelstore module within the Cluster Toolkit. It introduces clear deprecation warnings across relevant documentation and updates recommendations to guide users towards the Managed Lustre module as the preferred alternative. This change prepares the codebase for the eventual removal of parallelstore and ensures users are aware of the transition.

Highlights

  • Deprecation Notices Added: Deprecation warnings have been added to the parallelstore module's README.md and the gke-storage module's README.md, clearly stating that Parallelstore is deprecated and will be removed soon.
  • Module Status Update: The main modules/README.md file has been updated to include a deprecated-badge next to the parallelstore module entry, visually indicating its status.
  • Alternative Recommendation: Documentation has been updated to recommend the GCP Managed Lustre module as the replacement for Parallelstore, including in the Intel-DAOS/README.md file where previous recommendations for Parallelstore were replaced.

Code Review

This pull request adds deprecation notices for the parallelstore module across several documentation files, which aligns with the plan to remove it soon. The changes are consistent and correctly replace recommendations for parallelstore with Managed Lustre. I have one suggestion to improve the clarity of the deprecation warning in the gke-storage module's README to better guide users on implementing the recommended replacement.

One general comment is to avoid the vague timeline such as "soon", and rather fix a date. Such as: "will be removed in April 2026".
