Benefits of high RAM on a metadata server?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, we are planning out a Ceph storage cluster and were choosing
between 64GB, 128GB, or even 256GB on metadata servers. We are
considering having 2 metadata servers overall.

Does going to high levels of RAM possibly yield any performance
benefits? Is there a size beyond which there are just diminishing
returns vs cost?

The expected use case would be for a cluster where there might be
10-20 concurrent users working on individual datasets of 5TB in size.
I expect there would be lots of reads of the 5TB datasets matched with
the creation of hundreds to thousands of smaller files during
processing of the images.

Thanks!
