We had a similar issue last year. We ended up building a new Ceph
cluster and manually importing all objects in a tedious, one-week process.

The folks at Inktank were invaluable, providing us with the tools to
recover every object from the broken cluster (we did not lose one single
object due to corruption!), but without a support contract, we would
have been lost.

I know this is a community list and usually, commercial offers would be
frowned upon, but this is the best advice I can give: If what you are
running is a production cluster, you should seek contact with an
Inktank/Redhat representative and negotiate if and how they can assist
you with recovery. I am not sure that there are a lot of other options
to get your data back.

On the upside, however, you can be fairly sure that, although your
cluster is totally lost now, most if not all objects will be able to
recover.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but that's how we experienced this issue.
