Are you using image-format 2 RBD images?
We found a major performance hit using format 2 images under 10.2.0 today in some testing. When we switched to using format 1 images we literally got 10x random write IOPS performance (1600 IOPs up to 30000 IOPS for the same test).

Subject: seqwrite gets good performance but random rw gets worse
Hello,
We have a cluster with 20+ hosts and 200+ OSDs, each 4T SATA disk for an OSD, no SSD cache.
OS is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, ceph version 10.2.0
Both data network and cluster network are 10Gbps.
We run ceph as block storage service only (rbd client within VM).
For testing within a VM with sysbench tool, we see that the seqwrite has a relatively good performance, it can reach 170.37Mb/sec, but random read/write always gets bad result, it can be only 474.63Kb/sec (shown as below).
Can you help give the idea why the random IO is so worse? Thanks.This is what sysbench outputs,
