Yeah, despite being *able* to create objects larger than this, you definitely don't want to create a 100GB object on any storage devices existing today. I've no idea what the (arbitrary) actual limit is (if we have one), but you want to have a lot of objects of each size and you want them to not be an appreciable fraction of a single storage device. The Hadoop bindings default to 64MB and that seems to be fine but I wouldn't go past 256MB or something, and then only if you have a really good reason... -Greg _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
