Huhhh..
It seems worthwhile to point out two inconsistencies, then.

1. the "old way", of  ceph config set global rbd_cache false

doesnt require this odd redundant "global set global" syntax. It is confusing 
to users to have to specify "global" twice.
may I suggest that the syntax for rbd config be adjusted, so that people can 
simply use
rbd config global ...
or 
rbd config client ...

not
rbd config global set (global/client)



2. The fact that "ceph config set global rbd_cache false" works, seems to imply 
that putting

[global]
rbd cache = false

in /etc/ceph/ceph.conf should work also.

Except it doesnt.
Even after fully shutting down every node in the ceph cluster and doing a cold 
startup.

is that a bug?

But that's not a valid command -- you attempted to provide the
configuration key name for the entity (as the error message is telling
you).

$ rbd config global set global rbd_cache false
... or ...
$ rbd config global set client rbd_cache false
... or ...
$ rbd config global set client.host_a rbd_cache false
