Huge RADOS objects are a bad idea. Think about the distribution of
objects across PGs (i.e. sets of OSDs) and how different OSDs will be
utilized - there is a bunch of reasons why OSDs reject objects larger
than 90M by default.
AFAIK libradosstriper was merged quite a while ago, before hammer
I think, so it should be usable - people at CERN are building other
things on top of it.
