Hi Sage,
- Some of my customers are particularly paranoid about data integrity.
I believe that there are some parallel/distributed storage systems
(Panasas? Others?) that claim to provide options for some kind of
data integrity checking within the fault domain of the client, as a
final step before delivering read-data to the application, and
perhaps also as a first step after receiving write-data from the
application.
The hope would be to catch any data corruption that could possibly
take place between clients and servers, even if relatively unlikely
(e.g. bits getting flipped in network transport).
- Does the current Ceph implementation already do some variation of
this? If not, how difficult do you think it might be to add as a
future optional feature? Could it be added without breaking
compatibility of wire-protocol and on-disk format?
Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions on this.
