Thanks, Sage, for pointing out the PR and ceph branch. I will take a closer look.
Yes, I am trying KVStore backend. The reason we are trying it is that few user doesn't have such high requirement on data loss occasionally. It seems KVStore backend without synchronized WAL could achieve better performance than filestore. And only data still in page cache would get lost on machine crashing, not process crashing, if we use WAL but no synchronization. What do you think?
? ?
Thanks.

Are you using the KeyValueStore backend?

The wip-newstore-frags branch sets some defaults for rocksdb that I think
look pretty reasonable (at least given how newstore is using rocksdb).

Yes, I saw the same thing. This PR addresses the problem and is nearing
merge upstream:
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/746
There is also an XFS performance bug that is contributing to the problem,
but it looks like Dave Chinner just put together a fix for that.
But... we likely won't be using KeyValueStore in its current form over
rocksdb (or any other kv backend). It stripes object data over key/value
pairs, which IMO is not the best approach.
