Hello Cephers, During our testing, I found that the filestore throttling became a limiting factor for performance, the four settings (with default value) are: filestore queue max ops = 50 filestore queue max bytes = 100 << 20 filestore queue committing max ops = 500 filestore queue committing max bytes = 100 << 20 My understanding is, if we lift the threshold, the response for op (end to end) could be improved a lot during high load, and that is one reason to have journal. The downside is that if there is a read following a successful write, the read might stuck longer as the object is not flushed. Is my understanding correct here? If that is the tradeoff and read after write is not a concern in our use case, can I lift the parameters to below values? filestore queue max ops = 500 filestore queue max bytes = 200 << 20 filestore queue committing max ops = 500 filestore queue committing max bytes = 200 << 20 It turns out very helpful during PG peering stage (e.g. OSD down and up).
