Another development release of Ceph is ready, v0.53. We are getting pretty close to what will be frozen for the next stable release (bobtail), so if you would like a preview, give this one a go. Notable changes include: * librbd: image locking * rbd: fix list command when more than 1024 (format 2) images * osd: backfill reservation framework (to avoid flooding new osds with backfill data) * osd, mon: honor new 'nobackfill' and 'norecover' osdmap flags * osd: new 'deep scrub' will compare object content across replicas (once per week by default) * osd: crush performance improvements * osd: some performance improvements related to request queuing * osd: capability syntax improvements, bug fixes * osd: misc recovery fixes * osd: fix memory leak on certain error paths * osd: default journal size to 1 GB * crush: default root of tree type is now 'root' instead of 'pool' (to avoid confusiong wrt rados pools) * ceph-fuse: fix handling for .. in root directory * librados: some locking fixes * mon: some election bug fixes * mon: some additional on-disk metadata to facilitate future mon changes (post-bobtail) * mon: throttle osd flapping based on osd history (limits osdmap "thrashing" on overloaded or unhappy clusters) * mon: new 'osd crush create-or-move ...' command * radosgw: fix copy-object vs attributes * radosgw: fix bug in bucket stat updates * mds: fix ino release on abort session close, relative getattr path, mds shutdown, other misc items * upstart: stop jobs on shutdown * common: thread pool sizes can now be adjusted at runtime * build fixes for Fedora 18, CentOS/RHEL 6 The big items are locking support in RBD, and OSD improvements like deep scrub (which verify object data across replicas) and backfill reservations (which limit load on expanding clusters). And a huge swath of bugfixes and cleanups, many due to feeding the code through scan.coverity.com (they offer free static code analysis for open source projects). v0.54 is now frozen, and will include many deployment-related fixes (including a new ceph-deploy tool to replace mkcephfs), more bugfixes for libcephfs, ceph-fuse, and the MDS, and the fruits of some performance work on the OSD.
