That's a great idea. I know I can setup cinder (the openstack volume
manager) as a multi-backend manager and migrate from one backend to the
other, each backend linking to different pools of the same ceph cluster.
What bugs me though is that I'm pretty sure the image store, glance,
wouldn't let me do that. Additionally, since the compute component also
has its own ceph pool, I'm pretty sure it won't let me migrate the data
through openstack.

Lately I've been going back to work on one of my first ceph setup and now I see that I have created way too many placement groups for the pools on that setup (about 10 000 too many). I believe this may impact performances negatively, as the performances on this ceph cluster are abysmal. Since it is not possible to reduce the number of PGs in a pool, I was thinking of creating new pools with a smaller number of PGs, moving the data from the old pools to the new pools and then deleting the old pools.
I haven't seen any command to copy objects from one pool to another. Would that be possible? I'm using ceph for block storage with openstack, so surely there must be a way to move block devices from a pool to another, right?
What I did a one point was going one layer higher in my storage abstraction, and created new Ceph pools and used those for new storage resources/pool in my VM env. (ProxMox) on top of Ceph RBD and then did a live migration of virtual disks there, assume you could do the same in OpenStack.
