Hi Ben & everyone,

just following up on this one from July, as I don't think there's been
a reply here then.

I'd like to make this more concrete: what about having several buckets
each holding 2-4M objects, created on hammer, with 64 index shards? Is
that type of fill expected to bring radosgw performance down by a
factor of 5, versus an unpopulated (empty) radosgw setup?

Ben, you wrote elsewhere
(http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2015-August/003955.html)
that you found approx. 900k objects to be the threshold where index
sharding becomes necessary. Have you found that to be a reasonable
rule of thumb, as in "try 1-2 shards per million objects in your most
populous bucket"? Also, do you reckon that beyond that, more shards
make things worse?

This is a question where I'm looking for an answer, too.

Cheers,
