I added sharding to our busiest RGW sites, but it will not shard existing bucket indexes, only applies to new buckets. Even with that change, I'm still considering moving the index pool to SSD. The main factor being the rate of writes. We are looking at a project that will have extremely high writes/sec through the RGWs.
The other thing worth noting is that at that scale, you also need to change filestore merge threshold and filestore split multiple to something considerably larger. Props to Michael Kidd @ RH for that tip. There's a mathematical formula on the filestore config reference.

One bucket contains 9 million objects and the other one has 22 million. I'd like to shard the bucket index and also change the ruleset of the .rgw.buckets.index pool to put it on our SSD root. I could not find any documentation on this issue. It looks like the bucket indexes can be rebuilt using the radosgw-admin bucket check command but I'm not sure how to proceed. We can stop writes or take the cluster down completely if necessary. My initial thought was to backup the existing index pool and create a new one. I'm not sure if I can change the index_pool of an existing bucket. If that is possible I assume I can change that to my new pool and execute a radosgw-admin bucket check command to rebuild/shard the index. Does anyone have experience in getting sharding running with an existing bucket, or even moving the index pool to a different ruleset? When I change the crush ruleset for the .rgw.buckets.index pool to my SSD root we run into issues, buckets cannot be created or listed, writes cease to work, reads seem to work fine though.
