Hello,

When storing large, multipart objects in the Ceph Object Store (~100 GB and 
more), we have noticed that HEAD calls against the rados gateway for these 
objects are excessively slow - in fact, they are about the same as doing a GET 
on the object. Looking at the logs while this is occurring, we have noticed 
that Ceph seems to be doing work on each individual part during these calls, 
and that these operations take time. As this call is only essentially getting 
the metadata about an object, it seems like this should be a quick operation. 
Is there some kind of caching that can be enabled for object metadata that 
isn't by default? Is this expected or unusual behavior? We were doing some 
research and were having a difficult time finding similar problems online.

We are using CentOS 7 and Ceph Version 0.80.8.

Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks!
- Eric
