I am using ceph 17.2.6 on Rocky 8. I have a system that started giving me large omap object warnings. I tracked this down to a specific index shard for a single s3 bucket. rados -p <indexpool> listomapkeys .dir.<zoneid>.bucketid.nn.shardid shows over 3 million keys for that shard. There are only about 2 million objects in the entire bucket according to a listing of the bucket and radosgw-admin bucket stats --bucket bucketname. No other shard has anywhere near this many index objects. Perhaps it should be noted that this shard is the highest numbered shard for this bucket. For a bucket with 16 shards, this is shard 15. If I look at the list of omapkeys generated, there are *many* beginning with "<80>0_0000", almost the entire set of the three + million keys in the shard. These are index objects in the so-called 'ugly' namespace. The rest ofthey omapkeys appear to be normal. The 0_0000 after the <80> indicates some sort of 'bucket log index' according to src/cls/rgw/cls_rgw.cc. However, using some sed magic previously discussed here, I ran: rados -p <indexpool> getomapval .dir.<zoneid>.bucketid.nn.shardid --omap-key-file /tmp/key.txt Where /tmp/key.txt contains only the funny <80>0_0000 key name without a newline The output of this shows, in a hex dump, the object name to which the index refers, which was at one time a valid object. However, that object no longer exists in the bucket, and based on expiration policy, was previously deleted. Let's say, in the hex dump, that the object was: foo/bar/baz/object1.bin The prefix foo/bar/baz/ used to have 32 objects, say foo/bar/baz/{object1.bin, object2.bin, ... } An s3api listing shows that those objects no longer exist (and that is OK, as they were previously deleted). BUT, now, there is a weirdo object left in the bucket: foo/bar/baz/ <- with the slash at the end, and it is an object not a PRE (fix). All objects under foo/ have a 3 day lifecycle expiration. If I wait(at most) 3 days, the weirdo object with '/' at the end will be deleted, or I can delete it manually using aws s3api. But either way, the log index objects, <80>0_0000.... remain. The bucket in question is heavily used. But with over 3 million of these <80>0_0000 objects (and growing) in a single shard, I am currently at a loss as to what to do or how to stop this from occuring. I've poked around at a few other buckets, and I found a few others that have this problem, but not enoughto cause a large omap warning. (A few hundred <80>0_000.... index objects in a shard), no where near enoughto cause the large omap warning that led me to this post. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
