We are about to look at ceph as a solution for:
- file storage for a RoR web application. we will have front end servers
serving http requests and the ceph cluster would be the online storage
Our plan is to setup a small test cluster first, do some testing and put it
into production starting with a small cluster in a few months.
Is this advisable at this time or in the very new future:
- if we wait until the next release to go into production
- we backup snapshots to a hdfs cluster regularly
the files are important
we are also going to be running a hadoop cluster on hdfs as mentioned. can
we
1. situate the ceph cluster on the same hadoop nodes?
2. situate parts of the ceph cluster on the same physical drives?
the nodes will be low end nodes and the idea is to keep adding them when
more capacity is needed.
and lastly, has anyone run hypertable on ceph yet? We are wondering the
performance for data serving from hypertable directly to the web. have
there been performance tests on this or comparisons anywhere out there?
thanks in advance for your comments.
