Hello Wido,
Thank you for the response.
Sorry for not framing the questions with correct word. By ceph I meant Rados Gateway. Used the word ceph generically. My apologies!
I understand that RGW stripes the as per stripes size, but why does it again divide the individual stripe into more smaller chunk as per the configured chunk size (max_chunk_size)? What benefit do we get by doing this?
I meant is it not enough just to stripe the object into stripes , why to break stripes into more smaller chunks?
If an object is divided into series of smaller units (for performance benefit) , how does RGW returns the complete object when GET request is made?
How does RGW understands which all chunks belongs to requested object and how does it combine them?
Where does it store the ids/numbers of subsequent stripes to form a complete object from its smaller chunks?
Thanks,
Prasad

Yes, but keep in mind a lot of these questions have been answered previously.

RGW stripes in 4MB RADOS objects.

None, the application on top of RADOS decides how large the stripes are.

Please refer to the Amazon S3 model, that will explain what buckets are.
You can create millions of buckets without having a performance impact.

It doesn't. RGW stripes over RADOS, RADOS itself doesn't stripe data.

No, RADOS itself does not stripe objects.
