A few comments: 1) I think it may be better to view the tier/pool that has the object metadata as the "base" pool, and the CAS pool with the refcounted object chunks as as tier below that. 2) I think we can use an object class or a handful of new native rados operations to make the CAS pool read/write operations more efficient. In your slides you describe a process something like rados(getattr) if exists rados(increment ref count) else rados(write object and set ref count to 1) This could be collapsed into a single optimistic operation that sends the data and a command that says "create or increment ref count" so that the conditional behavior is handled at the OSD. This will be more efficient for small chunks. (For large chunks, or in cases where we have some confidence that the chunk probably already exists, the pessimistic approach might still make sense.) Either way, we should probably support both. 3) We'd like to generalize the first pool behavior so that it is just a special case of the new tiering functionality. The idea is that an object_info_t can have a 'manifest' that described where and how the object is really stored instead of the object data itself (much like it can already be a whiteout, etc.). In the simplest case, the manifest would just say "this object is stored in pool X" (simple tiering). In this case, the manifest would a structure like map<offset, tuple<length, cas object, pool>> I think it'll be worth the effort to build a general struture here that we can use for basic tiering (not just dedup). sage > > thanks > > > 2017-01-31 23:24 GMT+09:00 Sage Weil <sage@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: > > On Thu, 26 Jan 2017, myoungwon oh wrote: > >> I have two questions. > >> > >> 1.
