Workaround... We're building now a huge computing cluster 140 computing
DISKLESS nodes and they are pulling to storage a lot of computing data
concurrently
User that put job for the cluster - need also access to the same storage
place (seeking progress & results)
We've built Ceph cluster:
3 mon nodes (one of them is combined with mds)
3 osd nodes (each one have 10 osd + ssd for journaling)
switch 24 ports x 10G
10 gigabit - for public network
20 gigabit bonding - between osds
Ubuntu 12.04.05
Ceph 0.87.2 - giant
-----------------------------------------------------
Clients has:
10 gigabit for ceph-connection
CentOS 6.6 with upgraded kernel 3.19.8 (already running computing cluster)
Surely all nodes, switches and clients were configured to jumbo-frames of
network
=========================================================================
First test:
I thought to make big rbd with shareing, but:
- RBD supports multiple clients' mapping&mounting but not parallel
writes ...
Second test:
NFS over RBD - it's working pretty good, but:
1. NFS gateway - it's Single-Point-of-Failure
2. There's no performance scaling of scale-out storage e.g. bottleneck
(limited with bandwidth of NFS-gateway)
Third test:
We wanted to try CephFS, because our client is familiar with Lustre, that's
very near to CephFS capabilities:
1. I've used my CEPH nodes in the client's role. I've mounted CephFS
on one of nodes, and ran dd with bs=1M ...
- I've got wonderful write performance ~ 1.1 GBytes/s
(really near to 10Gbit network throughput)
2. I've connected CentOS client to 10gig public network, mounted
CephFS, but ...
- It was just ~ 250 MBytes/s
3. I've connected Ubuntu client (non-ceph member) to 10gig public
network, mounted CephFS, and ...
- It was also ~ 260 MBytes/s
Now I have to know: perhaps ceph-members-nodes have privileged
access ???
I'm sure you have more ceph deployment experience,
have you seen this CephFS performance deviations?
Thanks,
Shneur
