Re: SSD sizing for Bluestore

Hi Brendan

in fact you can alter RocksDB settings by using bluestore_rocksdb_options config parameter. And hence change "max_bytes_for_level_base" and others.

Not sure about dynamic level sizing though.


Current defaults are:

"compression=kNoCompression,max_write_buffer_number=4,min_write_buffer_number_to_merge=1,recycle_log_file_num=4,write_buffer_size=268435456,writable_file_max_buffer_size=0,compaction_readahead_size=2097152"


Thanks,
Igor

Hi,

I have been reading up on this a bit, and found one particularly useful mailing list thread [1].

The fact that there is such a large jump when your DB fits into 3 levels (30GB) vs 4 levels (300GB) makes it hard to choose SSDs of an appropriate size. My workload is all RBD, so objects should be large, but I am also looking at purchasing rather large HDDs (12TB).  It seems wasteful to spec out 300GB per OSD, but I am worried that I will barely cross the 30GB threshold when the disks get close to full.

It would be nice if we could either enable "dynamic level sizing" (done here [2] for monitors, but not bluestore?), or allow changing the "max_bytes_for_level_base" to something that better suits our use case. For example, if it were set it to 25% of the default (75MB L0 and L1, 750MB L2, 7.5GB L3, 75GB L4) then I could allocate ~85GB per OSD and feel confident there wouldn't be any spill over onto the slow HDDs. I am far from on expert on RocksDB, so I might be overlooking something important here.


Thanks,
Brendan
