You could use an Ceph RBD device on a server and export a directory that you would have created on this RBD though NFS.
3 days after the files are uploade, you could snapshot the RBD device, delete the directory containing the files, and a week later, when sure you do not need the snapshot for a restore, remove the s'apshot.
Hope this can help

I'm new to Ceph, and looking for a new storage to replace legacy system.My system has a lot of files accessing temporarily for 2 or 3 days.
Those files are uploaded from many clients everyday, and batch job deletes unused files everyday.In this case, can I use Ceph's pool to store daily uploaded files?Scenario is like below:1. create daily pool, e.g. pool-2014-02-122. store files to the pool3. After 3 days, remove the pool created at step 1.Is it possible? Is there anyone trying like this?Or, can you recommend a good way to delete a group of files(i.e. a directory on posix fs) on Ceph?According to http://ceph.com/docs/master/cephfs/, Ceph FS is currently not recommended for production data. So I exclude Ceph FS from my list and focus on Ceph Storage Cluster accessing by librados.Thanks in advance.
