Hi all, I would like to share some ideas about how to improve performance on ceph with SSD. Not much preciseness. Our ssd is 500GB and each OSD own a SSD(journal is on the same SSD). ceph version is 0.67.5(Dumping) At first, we find three bottleneck on filestore: 1. fdcache_lock(changed in Firely release) 2. lfn_find in omap_* methods 3. DBObjectMap header According to my understanding and the docs in ObjectStore.h(https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/os/ObjectStore.h), I simply remove lfn_find in omap_* and fdcache_lock. I'm not fully sure the correctness of this change, but it works well still now. DBObjectMap header patch is on the pull request queue and may be merged in the next feature merge window. With things above done, we get much performance improvement in disk util and benchmark results(3x-4x). Next, we find fdcache size become the main bottleneck. For example, if hot data range is 100GB, we need 25000(100GB/4MB) fd to cache. If hot data range is 1TB, we need 250000(1000GB/4MB) fd to cache. With increase "filestore_fd_cache_size", the cost of lookup(FDCache) and cache miss is expensive and can't be afford. The implementation of FDCache isn't O(1). So we only can get high performance on fdcache hit range(maybe 100GB with 10240 fdcache size) and more data exceed the size of fdcaceh will be disaster. If you want to cache more fd(102400 fdcache size), the implementation of FDCache will bring on extra CPU cost(can't be ignore) for each op. Because of the capacity of SSD(several hundreds GB), we try to increase the size of rbd object(16MB) so less fd cache is needed. As for FDCache implementation, we simply discard SimpleLRU but introduce RandomCache. Now we can set much larger fdcache size(near cache all fd) with little overload. With these, we achieve 3x-4x performance improvements on filestore with SSD. Maybe it exists something I missed or something wrong, hope can correct me. I hope it can help to improve FileStore on SSD and push into master branch. -- Best Regards, Wheat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
