From 1604f488ac2dcce33c8218e75a000e8c5fb57e61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Schutt Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:15:25 -0700 Subject: libceph: for chooseleaf rules, retry CRUSH map descent from root if leaf is failed Add libceph support for a new CRUSH tunable recently added to Ceph servers. Consider the CRUSH rule step chooseleaf firstn 0 type This rule means that replicas will be chosen in a manner such that each chosen leaf's branch will contain a unique instance of . When an object is re-replicated after a leaf failure, if the CRUSH map uses a chooseleaf rule the remapped replica ends up under the bucket that held the failed leaf. This causes uneven data distribution across the storage cluster, to the point that when all the leaves but one fail under a particular bucket, that remaining leaf holds all the data from its failed peers. This behavior also limits the number of peers that can participate in the re-replication of the data held by the failed leaf, which increases the time required to re-replicate after a failure. For a chooseleaf CRUSH rule, the tree descent has two steps: call them the inner and outer descents. If the tree descent down to is the outer descent, and the descent from down to a leaf is the inner descent, the issue is that a down leaf is detected on the inner descent, so only the inner descent is retried. In order to disperse re-replicated data as widely as possible across a storage cluster after a failure, we want to retry the outer descent. So, fix up crush_choose() to allow the inner descent to return immediately on choosing a failed leaf. Wire this up as a new CRUSH tunable. Note that after this change, for a chooseleaf rule, if the primary OSD in a placement group has failed, choosing a replacement may result in one of the other OSDs in the PG colliding with the new primary. This requires that OSD's data for that PG to need moving as well. This seems unavoidable but should be relatively rare. This corresponds to ceph.git commit 88f218181a9e6d2292e2697fc93797d0f6d6e5dc.
