Hi there, We have a team working on Ceph optimization, for the purpose of integrating with OpenStack. Currently, Ceph could make use of the inline data feature implemented in the local file system, such as btrfs. However, we think it maybe better to implement inline data at a higher level, i.e, let Ceph aware. Since it could save the client the calculation of object location and communication with the OSDs. It hopefully will receive a good IO speedup for small files, with a slightly heavier load for MDS. We have worked out a plan to do it, and the job is ongoing, and we are wondering the community 's response to this job and its fate for inclusion, comments are appreciated. Cheers, Li��.n��������+%������w��{.n����z��u���ܨ}���Ơz�j:+v�����w����ޙ��&�)ߡ�a����z�ޗ���ݢj��w�f
