>From some preliminary tests, I've noted that BlueStore is exceedingly quicker doing millions of random small file IO compared to FileStore. But this is only with around 1/25th of the data we are holding. So having an index pool is the only way to get faster lookup speeds? I don't think having one is really for my use case, with billions of objects being held, I don't think maintaining such an index would be any quicker than what rados_stat() is capable of achieving already. In any case, these clients maintain and validate the data that's stored, it would inherently assume that any index is wrong. -- Iain Buclaw _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
