This development release includes two key features: erasure coding and
cache tiering. A huge amount of code was merged for this release and
several additional weeks were spent stabilizing the code base, and it
is now in a state where it is ready to be tested by a broader user
base.
This is *not* the firefly release. Firefly will be delayed for at
least another sprint so that we can get some operational experience
with the new code and do some additional testing before committing to
long term support.
NOTE: Please note that while it is possible to create and test
erasure coded pools in this release, the pools will not be
usable when you upgrade to v0.79 as the OSDMap encoding will
subtlely change. Please do not populate your test pools
with important data that can't be reloaded.
Upgrading
~~~~~~~~~
* Upgrade daemons in the following order:
#. Monitors
#. OSDs
#. MDSs and/or radosgw
If the ceph-mds daemon is restarted first, it will wait until all
OSDs have been upgraded before finishing its startup sequence. If
the ceph-mon daemons are not restarted prior to the ceph-osd
daemons, they will not correctly register their new capabilities
with the cluster and new features may not be usable until they are
restarted a second time.
* Upgrade radosgw daemons together. There is a subtle change in behavior
for multipart uploads that prevents a multipart request that was initiated
with a new radosgw from being completed by an old radosgw.
* CephFS recently added support for a new 'backtrace' attribute on
file data objects that is used for lookup by inode number (i.e., NFS
reexport and hard links), and will later be used by fsck repair.
This replaces the existing anchor table mechanism that is used for
hard link resolution. In order to completely phase that out, any
inode that has an outdated backtrace attribute will get updated when
the inode itself is modified. This will result in some extra workload
after a legacy CephFS file system is upgraded.
* The per-op return code in librados' ObjectWriteOperation interface
is now filled in.
* The librados cmpxattr operation now handles xattrs containing null bytes as
data rather than null-terminated strings.
* Compound operations in librados that create and then delete the same object
are now explicitly disallowed (they fail with -EINVAL).
