Hi [~shashikant]
Sorry my earlier comment is misleading
bq. Note, this will only purge the deleted keys from KSM, leaving SCM and all
actual data on DN behind.
I meant to say this will only purge all keys from KSM, but it is not removing
any data at DN side. The actual deletions still happens in async mode so we
don't know when they can be actually deleted. My major concern was "I can't
think any reason that to just purge KSM immediately but not SCM and DN." Can
you please explain the use-case?
Another point is, if there is an API to let an admin to remove all object keys
from KSM, it can move every keys to KSM and then background service takes care
of deleting these objects. This patch will not be necessary.
If this is about an admin purge tool, then it will not need to go through
current object deleting code paths. Instead, it directly access
KSM/SCM/Container metadata to remove records and directly remove metadata files
as well as chunk files. This is like a hdfs format operation, and will be more
efficient to clean the cluster up.
