Thanks Mark

Are there any plans for ZFS like L2ARC to CEPH or is the cache tiering what
should work like this in the future?

I have tested cache tier + EC pool, and that created too much load on our
servers, so it was not viable to be used.

I was also wondering if EnhanceIO would be a good solution for getting more
random iops. I've read some Sébastien's writings.

Br,
Tuomas

Ok, so that makes more sense. The performance is still lower than expected
but maybe 3-4x rather than several orders of magnitude.  My guess is that
cache tiering in it's current form probably won't help you much unless you
have a workload that fits mostly into the cache.  The promotion penalty is
really high though so we likely will have to promote much more slowly than
we currently do.
