agree, reservations are needed for any queue in order to allow push back from failed endpoints. the reserve/commit mechanism would allow us to reliably signal the client that notifications triggered by the operation would fail.

To be more specific, this reserve/commit mechanism is only a requirement for a strictly-bounded queue. And while a strict bound may be desirable for several reasons, I don't see it as a requirement for reliable delivery. Reliable delivery just means that we either a) notify the endpoint directly and receive an ack or b) record an intent to notify before responding the client.

Separately, I have some concerns with separating the 'reserve' request from the one that actually 'commits' a notification to this queue. Mainly, the osd request to reserve might succeed, but the request to commit may fail or hang - for example, if the object's pg is no longer available. Or maybe radosgw crashes before it's able to commit, and (depending on implementation) the reserved size may leak. But the point is that a successful reservation can't guarantee a successful commit.

    You could substitute the fifo abstraction if 128M
    is too small.

attached an example of a notification, which is 700 bytes long. if longer bucket and object names are used, together with metadata it may go up to 1KB. which would allow for 128K notifications (per endpoint). not sure what is the official operations per second we support per RGW (for small objects)? but if we assume 3.5K requests/sec [1]  we can handle a 35 sec disconnect before we start pushing back on the client. what would probably make sense here is that we will define multiple queues per endpoint, that would scale with the number of RGWs.
