Hi Douglas, It's not clear whether you used SSD journals for the OSDs in the base config (or in the backing pool for the tiered tests) - it looks like not? If that's the case then I don't think this provides the most interesting point of comparison, because the tests are write-latency sensitive you'd naturally expect SSD journals to make a lot of difference and would surely start with those in the base config. I'm interested in how a similar setup would perform compared to regular journaling and Ceph tiering all on the server-side, e.g., dm-cache (or bcache) based OSDs - apparently a bunch of people do this in the wild with success, but AFAIK there has never been any detailed benchmarking published.
