Thanks ! Yeah, I know bucket index was a problem for scaling but thought it is resolved with sharded bucket index. We are yet to evaluate the performance with sharded bucket index.

(we use boto) Or you could use an S3 GUI client such as Cyberduck. The problem i am having and which you should look out for is that many millions of objects in a single RGW bucket causes problems with contention on the bucket index object in ceph. The 'sharded bucket index' feature is new, and is intended to resolve this, but may have other issues such as slowness. Going forward it would be nice if rgw handled its index better. -Ben On Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 7:01 PM, Somnath Roy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > We are planning to build a Ceph cluster with RGW/S3 as the interface > for user access.
