.SH DESCRIPTION
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fBcrushtool\fP is a utility that lets you create, compile, decompile
and test CRUSH map files.
.UNINDENT
.sp
CRUSH is a pseudo\-random data distribution algorithm that efficiently
maps input values (typically data objects) across a heterogeneous,
hierarchically structured device map. The algorithm was originally
described in detail in the following paper (although it has evolved
some since then):
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
\fI\%http://www.ssrc.ucsc.edu/Papers/weil-sc06.pdf\fP
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The tool has four modes of operation.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-compile|\-c map.txt
will compile a plaintext map.txt into a binary map file.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-decompile|\-d map
will take the compiled map and decompile it into a plaintext source
file, suitable for editing.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-build \-\-num_osds {num\-osds} layer1 ...
will create map with the given layer structure. See below for a
detailed explanation.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-test
will perform a dry run of a CRUSH mapping for a range of input
object names. See below for a detailed explanation.
.UNINDENT
.sp
Unlike other Ceph tools, \fBcrushtool\fP does not accept generic options
such as \fB\-\-debug\-crush\fP from the command line. They can however be
provided via the CEPH_ARGS environment variable. For instance, to
silence all output from the CRUSH subsystem:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
CEPH_ARGS="\-\-debug\-crush 0" crushtool ...
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SH RUNNING TESTS WITH --TEST
.sp
The test mode will use the input crush map ( as specified with \fB\-i
map\fP ) and perform a dry run of CRUSH mapping or random placement (
if \fB\-\-simulate\fP is set ). On completion, two kinds of reports can be
created. The \fB\-\-show\-...\fP options output human readable informations
on stderr. The \fB\-\-output\-csv\fP option creates CSV files that are
documented by the \fB\-\-help\-output\fP option.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-show\-statistics
for each rule display the mapping of each object. For instance:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
CRUSH rule 1 x 24 [11,6]
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
shows that object \fB24\fP is mapped to devices \fB[11,6]\fP by rule
\fB1\fP\&. At the end of the mapping details, a summary of the
distribution is displayed. For instance:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 5 result size == 5:    1024/1024
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
shows that rule \fB1\fP which is named \fBmetadata\fP successfully
mapped \fB1024\fP objects to \fBresult size == 5\fP devices when trying
to map them to \fBnum_rep 5\fP replicas. When it fails to provide the
required mapping, presumably because the number of \fBtries\fP must
be increased, a breakdown of the failures is displays. For instance:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 8:   4/1024
rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 9:   93/1024
rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 10:  927/1024
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
shows that although \fBnum_rep 10\fP replicas were required, \fB4\fP
out of \fB1024\fP objects ( \fB4/1024\fP ) were mapped to \fBresult size
== 8\fP devices only.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-show\-bad\-mappings
display which object failed to be mapped to the required number of
devices. For instance:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
bad mapping rule 1 x 781 num_rep 7 result [8,10,2,11,6,9]
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
shows that when rule \fB1\fP was required to map \fB7\fP devices, it
could only map six : \fB[8,10,2,11,6,9]\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-show\-utilization
display the expected and actual utilisation for each device, for
each number of replicas. For instance:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
device 0: stored : 951      expected : 853.333
device 1: stored : 963      expected : 853.333
\&...
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
shows that device \fB0\fP stored \fB951\fP objects and was expected to store \fB853\fP\&.
Implies \fB\-\-show\-statistics\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-show\-utilization\-all
displays the same as \fB\-\-show\-utilization\fP but does not suppress
output when the weight of a device is zero.
Implies \fB\-\-show\-statistics\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-show\-choose\-tries
display how many attempts were needed to find a device mapping.
For instance:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
0:     95224
1:      3745
2:      2225
\&..
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
shows that \fB95224\fP mappings succeeded without retries, \fB3745\fP
mappings succeeded with one attempts, etc. There are as many rows
as the value of the \fB\-\-set\-choose\-total\-tries\fP option.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-output\-csv
create CSV files (in the current directory) containing information
documented by \fB\-\-help\-output\fP\&. The files are named after the rule
used when collecting the statistics. For instance, if the rule
metadata is used, the CSV files will be:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
metadata\-absolute_weights.csv
metadata\-device_utilization.csv
\&...
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The first line of the file shortly explains the column layout. For
instance:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
metadata\-absolute_weights.csv
Device ID, Absolute Weight
0,1
\&...
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-output\-name NAME
prepend \fBNAME\fP to the file names generated when \fB\-\-output\-csv\fP
is specified. For instance \fB\-\-output\-name FOO\fP will create
files:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
FOO\-metadata\-absolute_weights.csv
FOO\-metadata\-device_utilization.csv
\&...
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fB\-\-set\-...\fP options can be used to modify the tunables of the
input crush map. The input crush map is modified in
memory. For example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ crushtool \-i mymap \-\-test \-\-show\-bad\-mappings
bad mapping rule 1 x 781 num_rep 7 result [8,10,2,11,6,9]
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
could be fixed by increasing the \fBchoose\-total\-tries\fP as follows:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B $ crushtool \-i mymap \-\-test 
\-\-show\-bad\-mappings \-\-set\-choose\-total\-tries 500

.SH BUILDING A MAP WITH --BUILD
.sp
The build mode will generate hierarchical maps. The first argument
specifies the number of devices (leaves) in the CRUSH hierarchy. Each
layer describes how the layer (or devices) preceding it should be
grouped.
.sp
Each layer consists of:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
bucket ( uniform | list | tree | straw ) size
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fBbucket\fP is the type of the buckets in the layer
(e.g. "rack"). Each bucket name will be built by appending a unique
number to the \fBbucket\fP string (e.g. "rack0", "rack1"...).
.sp
The second component is the type of bucket: \fBstraw\fP should be used
most of the time.
.sp
The third component is the maximum size of the bucket. A size of zero
means a bucket of infinite capacity.
.SH EXAMPLE
.sp
Suppose we have two rows with two racks each and 20 nodes per rack. Suppose
each node contains 4 storage devices for Ceph OSD Daemons. This configuration
allows us to deploy 320 Ceph OSD Daemons. Lets assume a 42U rack with 2U nodes,
leaving an extra 2U for a rack switch.
.sp
To reflect our hierarchy of devices, nodes, racks and rows, we would execute
the following:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ crushtool \-o crushmap \-\-build \-\-num_osds 320 \e
       node straw 4 \e
       rack straw 20 \e
       row straw 2 \e
       root straw 0
# id        weight  type name       reweight
\-87 320     root root
\-85 160             row row0
\-81 80                      rack rack0
\-1  4                               node node0
0   1                                       osd.0   1

3   1                                       osd.3   1
\-2  4                               node node1
4   1                                       osd.4   1

CRUSH rulesets are created so the generated crushmap can be
tested. They are the same rulesets as the one created by default when
creating a new Ceph cluster. They can be further edited with:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp

# decompile
