Hi, It depends on the number of files and typical sizes. We ended up re-organizing them as larger entities on Gluster.
I believe there used to be a Gluster BDB translator for small files but it is no longer an option - you can try to have a similar setup. http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Translators/storage/bdb Ceph has LevelDB support released – the size of the “small” objects plays a key role in overall performance. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21726728/the-optimum-size-of-objects-in-ceph-object-storage-rados If you find a specific setting in gluster that makes a huge difference for tackling the small files please do share.

On Behalf Of Jocelyn Hotte Hi, can anyone help me with this issue? From: Jocelyn Hotte
Hello Gluster Community, I was wondering if there are some things I could do to optimize gluster for small files. Our bricks are 4 SSD in Raid0, and we have a replica set factor of 3 We have a use-case where we would like to optimize our gluster mount for small files (about 6kb). Here’s my current benchmarks on my mount # 1mb block size on RAID0 SSD dd if=/dev/zero of=/ssd/test_ssd_1mb bs=1M count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 0.0577655 s, 1.8 GB/s # 1kb block size on RAID0 SSD dd if=/dev/zero of=/ssd/test_ssd_1kb bs=1K count=100000 100000+0 records in 100000+0 records out 102400000 bytes (102 MB) copied, 0.181732 s, 563 MB/s # 1mb block size on Gluster mount dd if=/dev/zero of=/gluster/test_gluster_1mb bs=1M count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 0.219619 s, 477 MB/s # 1kb block size on Gluster mount dd if=/dev/zero of=/gluster/test_gluster_1kb bs=1K count=100000 100000+0 records in 100000+0 records out 102400000 bytes (102 MB) copied, 6.73986 s, 15.2 MB/s As you can see, our performances on small block size are very low. We’re running glusterfs 3.4.2, with the following options: diagnostics.count-fop-hits: on diagnostics.latency-measurement: off performance.cache-max-file-size: 64KB performance.write-behind-window-size: 8MB performance.cache-size: 2GB performance.io-thread-count: 64 performance.flush-behind: off performance.io-cache: on Thank you for your help Jocelyn Hotte Tools Programmer, Ubisoft |
