Emperor
=======

Emperor is the 5th stable release of Ceph.  It is named after the emperor squid.


v0.72.3 Emperor (pending release)
=================================

Upgrading
---------

* Monitor 'auth' read-only commands now expect the user to have 'rx' caps.
  This is the same behavior that was present in dumpling, but in emperor
  and more recent development releases the 'r' cap was sufficient.  Note that
  this backported security fix will break mon keys that are using the following
  commands but do not have the 'x' bit in the mon capability::

    ceph auth export
    ceph auth get
    ceph auth get-key
    ceph auth print-key
    ceph auth list


v0.72.2 Emperor
===============

This is the second bugfix release for the v0.72.x Emperor series.  We
have fixed a hang in radosgw, and fixed (again) a problem with monitor
CLI compatibility with mixed version monitors.  (In the future this
will no longer be a problem.)

Upgrading
---------

* The JSON schema for the 'osd pool set ...' command changed slightly.  Please
  avoid issuing this particular command via the CLI while there is a mix of
  v0.72.1 and v0.72.2 monitor daemons running.

* As part of fix for #6796, 'ceph osd pool set <pool> <var> <arg>' now
  receives <arg> as an integer instead of a string.  This affects how
  'hashpspool' flag is set/unset: instead of 'true' or 'false', it now
  must be '0' or '1'.


Changes
-------

* mon: 'osd pool set ...' syntax change
* osd: added test for missing on-disk HEAD object
* osd: fix osd bench block size argument
* rgw: fix hang on large object GET
* rgw: fix rare use-after-free
* rgw: various DR bug fixes
* rgw: do not return error on empty owner when setting ACL
* sysvinit, upstart: prevent starting daemons using both init systems

For more detailed information, see :download:`the complete changelog <../changelog/v0.72.2.txt>`.

v0.72.1 Emperor
===============

Important Note
--------------

When you are upgrading from Dumpling to Emperor, do not run any of the
"ceph osd pool set" commands while your monitors are running separate versions.
Doing so could result in inadvertently changing cluster configuration settings
that exhaust compute resources in your OSDs.

Changes
-------

* osd: fix upgrade bug #6761
* ceph_filestore_tool: introduced tool to repair errors caused by #6761

This release addresses issue #6761.  Upgrading to Emperor can cause
reads to begin returning ENFILE (too many open files).  v0.72.1 fixes
that upgrade issue and adds a tool ceph_filestore_tool to repair osd
stores affected by this bug.

To repair a cluster affected by this bug:

#. Upgrade all osd machines to v0.72.1
#. Install the ceph-test package on each osd machine to get ceph_filestore_tool
#. Stop all osd processes
#. To see all lost objects, run the following on each osd with the osd stopped and
   the osd data directory mounted::

     ceph_filestore_tool --list-lost-objects=true --filestore-path=<path-to-osd-filestore> --journal-path=<path-to-osd-journal>

#. To fix all lost objects, run the following on each osd with the
   osd stopped and the osd data directory mounted::

     ceph_filestore_tool --fix-lost-objects=true --list-lost-objects=true --filestore-path=<path-to-osd-filestore> --journal-path=<path-to-osd-journal>

#. Once lost objects have been repaired on each osd, you can restart
   the cluster.

Note, the ceph_filestore_tool performs a scan of all objects on the
osd and may take some time.


v0.72 Emperor
=============

This is the fifth major release of Ceph, the fourth since adopting a
3-month development cycle.  This release brings several new features,
including multi-datacenter replication for the radosgw, improved
usability, and lands a lot of incremental performance and internal
refactoring work to support upcoming features in Firefly.

Important Note
--------------

When you are upgrading from Dumpling to Emperor, do not run any of the
"ceph osd pool set" commands while your monitors are running separate versions.
Doing so could result in inadvertently changing cluster configuration settings
that exhaust compute resources in your OSDs.

Highlights
----------

* common: improved crc32c performance
* librados: new example client and class code
* mds: many bug fixes and stability improvements
* mon: health warnings when pool pg_num values are not reasonable
* mon: per-pool performance stats
* osd, librados: new object copy primitives
* osd: improved interaction with backend file system to reduce latency
* osd: much internal refactoring to support ongoing erasure coding and tiering support
* rgw: bucket quotas
* rgw: improved CORS support
* rgw: performance improvements
* rgw: validate S3 tokens against Keystone

Coincident with core Ceph, the Emperor release also brings:

* radosgw-agent: support for multi-datacenter replication for disaster recovery
* tgt: improved support for iSCSI via upstream tgt

Packages for both are available on ceph.com.

Upgrade sequencing
------------------

There are no specific upgrade restrictions on the order or sequence of
upgrading from 0.67.x Dumpling. However, you cannot run any of the
"ceph osd pool set" commands while your monitors are running separate versions.
Doing so could result in inadvertently changing cluster configuration settings
and exhausting compute resources in your OSDs.

It is also possible to do a rolling upgrade from 0.61.x Cuttlefish,
but there are ordering restrictions.  (This is the same set of
restrictions for Cuttlefish to Dumpling.)

#. Upgrade ceph-common on all nodes that will use the command line 'ceph' utility.
#. Upgrade all monitors (upgrade ceph package, restart ceph-mon
   daemons).  This can happen one daemon or host at a time.  Note that
   because cuttlefish and dumpling monitors can't talk to each other,
   all monitors should be upgraded in relatively short succession to
   minimize the risk that an a untimely failure will reduce
   availability.
#. Upgrade all osds (upgrade ceph package, restart ceph-osd daemons).
   This can happen one daemon or host at a time.
#. Upgrade radosgw (upgrade radosgw package, restart radosgw daemons).


Upgrading from v0.71
--------------------

* ceph-fuse and radosgw now use the same default values for the admin
  socket and log file paths that the other daemons (ceph-osd,
  ceph-mon, etc.) do.  If you run these daemons as non-root, you may
  need to adjust your ceph.conf to disable these options or to adjust
  the permissions on /var/run/ceph and /var/log/ceph.

Upgrading from v0.67 Dumpling
-----------------------------

* ceph-fuse and radosgw now use the same default values for the admin
  socket and log file paths that the other daemons (ceph-osd,
  ceph-mon, etc.) do.  If you run these daemons as non-root, you may
  need to adjust your ceph.conf to disable these options or to adjust
  the permissions on /var/run/ceph and /var/log/ceph.

* The MDS now disallows snapshots by default as they are not
  considered stable.  The command 'ceph mds set allow_snaps' will
  enable them.

* For clusters that were created before v0.44 (pre-argonaut, Spring
  2012) and store radosgw data, the auto-upgrade from TMAP to OMAP
  objects has been disabled.  Before upgrading, make sure that any
  buckets created on pre-argonaut releases have been modified (e.g.,
  by PUTing and then DELETEing an object from each bucket).  Any
  cluster created with argonaut (v0.48) or a later release or not
  using radosgw never relied on the automatic conversion and is not
  affected by this change.

* Any direct users of the 'tmap' portion of the librados API should be
  aware that the automatic tmap -> omap conversion functionality has
  been removed.

* Most output that used K or KB (e.g., for kilobyte) now uses a
  lower-case k to match the official SI convention.  Any scripts that
  parse output and check for an upper-case K will need to be modified.

* librados::Rados::pool_create_async() and librados::Rados::pool_delete_async()
  don't drop a reference to the completion object on error, caller needs to take
  care of that. This has never really worked correctly and we were leaking an
  object

* 'ceph osd crush set <id> <weight> <loc..>' no longer adds the osd to the
  specified location, as that's a job for 'ceph osd crush add'.  It will
  however continue to work just the same as long as the osd already exists
  in the crush map.

* The OSD now enforces that class write methods cannot both mutate an
  object and return data.  The rbd.assign_bid method, the lone
  offender, has been removed.  This breaks compatibility with
  pre-bobtail librbd clients by preventing them from creating new
  images.

* librados now returns on commit instead of ack for synchronous calls.
  This is a bit safer in the case where both OSDs and the client crash, and
  is probably how it should have been acting from the beginning. Users are
  unlikely to notice but it could result in lower performance in some
  circumstances. Those who care should switch to using the async interfaces,
  which let you specify safety semantics precisely.

* The C++ librados AioComplete::get_version() method was incorrectly
  returning an int (usually 32-bits).  To avoid breaking library
  compatibility, a get_version64() method is added that returns the
  full-width value.  The old method is deprecated and will be removed
  in a future release.  Users of the C++ librados API that make use of
  the get_version() method should modify their code to avoid getting a
  value that is truncated from 64 to to 32 bits.

v0.71
=====

This development release includes a significant amount of new code and
refactoring, as well as a lot of preliminary functionality that will be needed
for erasure coding and tiering support.  There are also several significant
patch sets improving this with the MDS.

Upgrading
---------

* The MDS now disallows snapshots by default as they are not
  considered stable.  The command 'ceph mds set allow_snaps' will
  enable them.

* For clusters that were created before v0.44 (pre-argonaut, Spring

  objects has been disabled.  Before upgrading, make sure that any
  buckets created on pre-argonaut releases have been modified (e.g.,
  by PUTing and then DELETEing an object from each bucket).  Any
  cluster created with argonaut (v0.48) or a later release or not
  using radosgw never relied on the automatic conversion and is not
  affected by this change.

  don't drop a reference to the completion object on error, caller needs to take

* rgw: fix inefficient use of std::list::size() (Yehuda Sadeh)


v0.69
=====

Upgrading
---------

* The sysvinit /etc/init.d/ceph script will, by default, update the
  CRUSH location of an OSD when it starts.  Previously, if the
  monitors were not available, this command would hang indefinitely.
  Now, that step will time out after 10 seconds and the ceph-osd daemon
  will not be started.

* Users of the librados C++ API should replace users of get_version()
  with get_version64() as the old method only returns a 32-bit value
  for a 64-bit field.  The existing 32-bit get_version() method is now
  deprecated.

* The OSDs are now more picky that request payload match their
  declared size.  A write operation across N bytes that includes M
  bytes of data will now be rejected.  No known clients do this, but
  the because the server-side behavior has changed it is possible that
  an application misusing the interface may now get errors.

* The OSD now enforces that class write methods cannot both mutate an
  object and return data.  The rbd.assign_bid method, the lone
  offender, has been removed.  This breaks compatibility with
  pre-bobtail librbd clients by preventing them from creating new
  images.

* librados now returns on commit instead of ack for synchronous calls.
  This is a bit safer in the case where both OSDs and the client crash, and
  is probably how it should have been acting from the beginning. Users are
  unlikely to notice but it could result in lower performance in some
  circumstances. Those who care should switch to using the async interfaces,
  which let you specify safety semantics precisely.

* The C++ librados AioComplete::get_version() method was incorrectly
  returning an int (usually 32-bits).  To avoid breaking library
  compatibility, a get_version64() method is added that returns the
  full-width value.  The old method is deprecated and will be removed
  in a future release.  Users of the C++ librados API that make use of
  the get_version() method should modify their code to avoid getting a
  value that is truncated from 64 to to 32 bits.

  is probably how it should have been acting from the beginning. Users are
  unlikely to notice but it could result in lower performance in some
  circumstances. Those who care should switch to using the async interfaces,
  which let you specify safety semantics precisely.

* The C++ librados AioComplete::get_version() method was incorrectly
  returning an int (usually 32-bits).  To avoid breaking library
  compatibility, a get_version64() method is added that returns the
  full-width value.  The old method is deprecated and will be removed
  in a future release.  Users of the C++ librados API that make use of
  the get_version() method should modify their code to avoid getting a
  value that is truncated from 64 to to 32 bits.
