Hey Mark,
If I look at the "wip-dumpling-pglog-undirty"-version with regular top,
I see a slightly higher base-load on the osd, with significantly more
and higher spikes in it than the Dumpling-osds. Looking with `perf
top', "PGLog::undirty()" is still there, although pulling significantly
less CPU. With the Cuttlefish-osds, I don't see it at all, even under
load. That may account for the extra load I'm still seeing, but I don't
know what is still going on in it and if that too can be safely disabled
to save some more CPU.
All in all, it's quite close and seems a bit difficult to measure. I'd
say the CPU-usage with "wip-dumpling-pglog-undirty" is still a good 30%
higher than Cuttlefish on my production-cluster. I have yet to upgrade
all osds and compare performance of the cluster as a whole. Is the
"wip-dumpling-pglog-undirty"-version considered safe enough to do so?
If you have any tips for other safe benchmarks, I'll try those as well.
Thanks!
Regards,
Oliver
