Sage, I am seeing the performance with the latest master is not stable compare to 3 days old master. The peak performance is higher but it is jumping up and down. Analyzing further I suspect recent cache changes has an impact. While the performance is high , I am seeing lower disk reads (probably because of cache hits) , but the low point is much lower when it is missing the cache probably. You were saying on the standup about adding buffers in the cache in the write path , is that merged into the master ? The following pull request for cache that got merged seems reasonable. https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/11295 Any hunch what is causing this degradation recently ? Otherwise, I need to dig down to find that out :-( See the graph in the following link for the performance difference. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JO3FaBbfT5jEdyYGB8EhHnAl5bAHe06ojLE85mPzsK4/edit?usp=sharing The left side graph is with old master and right one is with latest master..Old one I ran for 10 hour and latest master I ran it for 2 hours. The new one has *4X more* latency as well..
