We delete large buckets often and it takes forever. Though didn't I read that 'object expiration' support is on the near-term RGW roadmap? That may do what we want.. we're creating thousands of objects a day, and thousands of objects a day will be expiring, so RGW will need to handle. -Ben On Wed, Mar 16, 2016 at 9:40 AM, Yehuda Sadeh-Weinraub <yeh...@redhat.com<mailto:yeh...@redhat.com>> wrote: On Tue, Mar 15, 2016 at 11:36 PM, Pavan Rallabhandi <prallabha...@walmartlabs.com<mailto:prallabha...@walmartlabs.com>> wrote: > Hi, > > I find this to be discussed here before, but couldn¹t find any solution > hence the mail.

You might want to have a version of that command that doesn't schedule the removal to gc, but rather removes all the object parts by itself. Otherwise, you're just going to flood the gc. You'll need to iterate through all the objects, and for each object you'll need to remove all of it's rados objects (starting with the tail, then the head). Removal of each rados object can be done asynchronously, but you'll need to throttle the operations, not send everything to the osds at once (which will be impossible, as the objecter will throttle the requests anyway, which will lead to a high memory consumption).
