Using in production

Hello,
Is there any plans to make this a production quality driver? Or, this will remain as a non-production driver?

Thanks.

Is there any plans to make this a production quality driver?

No.

Is there a need for it? What would be the advantage over the in-tree emptydir or hostpath volume types?

I guess it could be used to manage additional disks, but that raises all kinds of questions that don't have good answers (IMHO).

We want to use local volume for running databases. We have been using https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner . But a CSI driver will be nice, since that is the future.

I would also like to point this thread to https://github.com/kubevirt/hostpath-provisioner This driver sees significant usage and combined with @tamalsaha 's previous comment I think there is a case for a multi-node, production-grade driver. It would be nice if we could all work together on a single one instead of fragmenting. Hostpath is preferred over local-volume for several reasons including the possibility of dynamic provisioning. A CSI driver is superior because it is not deprecated technology and because CSI allows for snapshots and cloning.
