Much more dentries than inodes, is that normal?

Thanks John.

Very likely, note that mds_mem::ino + mds_cache::strays_created ~=
mds::inodes, plus the MDS was the active-standby one, and become
active days ago due to failover.

mds": {
        "inodes": 1291393,
}
"mds_cache": {
        "num_strays": 3559,
        "strays_created": 706120,
        "strays_purged": 702561
}
"mds_mem": {
        "ino": 584974,
}

I do have a cache dump from the mds via admin socket,  is there
anything I can get from it  to make 100% percent sure?
