Hmm, this does all sound odd. Have you tried just restarting the primary OSD yet? That frequently resolves transient oddities like this.
If not, I'll go poke at the kraken source and one of the developers more familiar with the recovery processes we're seeing here.

I have no proof or anything other than a hunch, but OSDs don't trim omaps unless all PGs are healthy. If this PG is actually not healthy, but the cluster doesn't realize it while these 11 involved OSDs do realize that the PG is unhealthy... You would see this exact problem. The OSDs think a PG is unhealthy so they aren't trimming their omaps while the cluster doesn't seem to be aware of it and everything else is trimming their omaps properly.
I think you're confusing omaps and OSDMaps here. OSDMaps, like omap, are stored in leveldb, but they have different trimming rules.
I don't know what to do about it, but I hope it helps get you (or someone else on the ML) towards a resolution.

Hi ceph-users,
We have a Ceph cluster (running Kraken) that is exhibiting some odd behaviour.
A couple weeks ago, the LevelDBs on some our OSDs started growing large (now at around 20G size).
The one thing they have in common is the 11 disks with inflating LevelDBs are all in the set for one PG in one of our pools (EC 8+3). This pool started to see use around the time the LevelDBs started inflating. Compactions are running and they do go down in size a bit but the overall trend is one of rapid growth. The other 2000+ OSDs in the cluster have LevelDBs between 650M and 1.2G.
This PG has nothing to separate it from the others in its pool, within 5% of average number of objects per PG, no hot-spotting in terms of load, no weird states reported by ceph status.
The one odd thing about it is the pg query output mentions it is active+clean, but it has a recovery state, which it enters every morning between 9 and 10am, where it mentions a "might_have_unfound" situation and having probed all other set members. A deep scrub of the PG didn't turn up anything.
You need to be more specific here. What do you mean it "enters into" the recovery state every morning?
Here's what PG query showed me yesterday:
"recovery_state": [
{
"name": "Started\/Primary\/Active",
"enter_time": "2017-12-05 09:48:57.730385",
"might_have_unfound": [
{
"osd": "79(1)",
"status": "already probed"
},
{
"osd": "337(9)",
"status": "already probed"
},... it goes on to list all peers of this OSD in that PG.
IIRC that's just a normal thing when there's any kind of recovery happening — it builds up a set during peering of OSDs that might have data, in case it discovers stuff missing.
OK. But this is the only PG mentioning "might_have_unfound" across the two most used pools in our cluster and it's the only one that has all of its omap dirs at sizes more than 15 times the average for the cluster.
How many PGs are in your 8+3 pool, and are all your OSDs hosting EC pools? What are you using the cluster for?
2048 PGs in this pool, also another 2048 PG EC pool (same profile) and two more 1024 PG EC pools (also same profile). Then a set of RGW auxiliary pools with 3-way replication.
I'm not 100% sure but I think all of our OSDs should have a few PGs from one of the EC pools. Our rules don't make a distinction so it's probabilistic. We're using the cluster as an object store, minor RGW use and custom gateways using libradosstriper.
It's also worth pointing out that an OSD in that PG was taken out of the cluster earlier today and pg query shows the following weirdness:
The primary thinks it's active+clean but, in the peer_info section all peers report it is "active+undersized+degraded+remapped+backfilling". It has shown this discrepancy before between the primary thinking it's a+c and the rest of the set seeing it a+c+degraded.
Again, exactly what output makes you say the primary thinks it's active+clean but the others have more complex recovery states?
I've pastebin'ed a query output: https://pastebin.com/PbGSaZyF. The PG state is reported "active+clean" in the top section but the peer_info sections have it "active+undersized+degraded". I may be reading the query output wrong but this seems odd.
In the query output we're showing the following for recovery state:
"recovery_state": [
{
"name": "Started\/Primary\/Active",
"enter_time": "2017-12-07 08:41:57.850220",
"might_have_unfound": [],
"recovery_progress": {
"backfill_targets": [],
"waiting_on_backfill": [],
"last_backfill_started": "MIN",
"backfill_info": {
"begin": "MIN",
"end": "MIN",
"objects": []
},
"peer_backfill_info": [],
"backfills_in_flight": [],
"recovering": [],
"pg_backend": {
"recovery_ops": [],
"read_ops": []
}
The cluster is now starting to manifest slow requests on the OSDs with the large LevelDBs, although not in the particular PG.
Well, there have been a few causes of large LevelDBs, but given that you have degraded PGs and a bunch of EC pools, my guess is that the PG logs are getting extended thanks to the PG states. EC PG logs can be much larger than replicated ones, since EC pools need to be able to reverse the IO in those cases. So you need to get your PGs clean first and then see if the LevelDB shrinks down or not.
To be expected I guess. However, the average LevelDB in this cluster is around 200MB, all OSDs in this PG are in the multi-gigabyte range with a couple pushing the 20GB mark. The numbers on this PG do not otherwise stand out, so I'm wondering what makes this PG so special. No PGs on these OSDs are reporting any other state than active+clean.
Thanks,
George
