Would you recommend Ceph for this kind of scenario? When you say they're too small for HDFS, do you really mean they're too numerous? How many are we talking about? If your use case calls for just puts and gets of named serialized blobs, you may be best off with the RGW or librados object store interfaces to Ceph, rather than the file system per se. > Additional question - will it also install and behave gracefully as a > single-node cluster running on a single linux machine, in a dev scenario > and/or a unit test machine scenario? Yes, that's how some of the ceph tests themselves operate. Cheers, John
