Placement Group Concepts
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
When you execute commands like ``ceph -w``, ``ceph osd dump``, and other
|
|
commands related to placement groups, Ceph may return values using some
|
|
of the following terms:
|
|
|
|
*Peering*
|
|
The process of bringing all of the OSDs that store
|
|
a Placement Group (PG) into agreement about the state
|
|
of all of the objects (and their metadata) in that PG.
|
|
Note that agreeing on the state does not mean that
|
|
they all have the latest contents.
|
|
|
|
*Acting Set*
|
|
The ordered list of OSDs who are (or were as of some epoch)
|
|
responsible for a particular placement group.
|
|
|
|
*Up Set*
|
|
The ordered list of OSDs responsible for a particular placment
|
|
group for a particular epoch according to CRUSH. Normally this
|
|
is the same as the *Acting Set*, except when the *Acting Set* has
|
|
been explicitly overridden via ``pg_temp`` in the OSD Map.
|
|
|
|
*Current Interval* or *Past Interval*
|
|
A sequence of OSD map epochs during which the *Acting Set* and *Up
|
|
Set* for particular placement group do not change.
|
|
|
|
*Primary*
|
|
The member (and by convention first) of the *Acting Set*,
|
|
that is responsible for coordination peering, and is
|
|
the only OSD that will accept client-initiated
|
|
writes to objects in a placement group.
|
|
|
|
*Replica*
|
|
A non-primary OSD in the *Acting Set* for a placement group
|
|
(and who has been recognized as such and *activated* by the primary).
|
|
|
|
*Stray*
|
|
An OSD that is not a member of the current *Acting Set*, but
|
|
has not yet been told that it can delete its copies of a
|
|
particular placement group.
|
|
|
|
*Recovery*
|
|
Ensuring that copies of all of the objects in a placement group
|
|
are on all of the OSDs in the *Acting Set*. Once *Peering* has
|
|
been performed, the *Primary* can start accepting write operations,
|
|
and *Recovery* can proceed in the background.
|
|
|
|
*PG Info*
|
|
Basic metadata about the placement group's creation epoch, the version
|
|
for the most recent write to the placement group, *last epoch started*,
|
|
*last epoch clean*, and the beginning of the *current interval*. Any
|
|
inter-OSD communication about placement groups includes the *PG Info*,
|
|
such that any OSD that knows a placement group exists (or once existed)
|
|
also has a lower bound on *last epoch clean* or *last epoch started*.
|
|
|
|
*PG Log*
|
|
A list of recent updates made to objects in a placement group.
|
|
Note that these logs can be truncated after all OSDs
|
|
in the *Acting Set* have acknowledged up to a certain
|
|
point.
|
|
|
|
*Missing Set*
|
|
Each OSD notes update log entries and if they imply updates to
|
|
the contents of an object, adds that object to a list of needed
|
|
updates. This list is called the *Missing Set* for that ``<OSD,PG>``.
|
|
|
|
*Authoritative History*
|
|
A complete, and fully ordered set of operations that, if
|
|
performed, would bring an OSD's copy of a placement group
|
|
up to date.
|
|
|
|
*Epoch*
|
|
A (monotonically increasing) OSD map version number
|
|
|
|
*Last Epoch Start*
|
|
The last epoch at which all nodes in the *Acting Set*
|
|
for a particular placement group agreed on an
|
|
*Authoritative History*. At this point, *Peering* is
|
|
deemed to have been successful.
|
|
|
|
*up_thru*
|
|
Before a *Primary* can successfully complete the *Peering* process,
|
|
it must inform a monitor that is alive through the current
|
|
osd map *Epoch* by having the monitor set its *up_thru* in the osd
|
|
map. This helps *Peering* ignore previous *Acting Sets* for which
|
|
*Peering* never completed after certain sequences of failures, such as
|
|
the second interval below:
|
|
|
|
- *acting set* = [A,B]
|
|
- *acting set* = [A]
|
|
- *acting set* = [] very shortly after (e.g., simultaneous failure, but staggered detection)
|
|
- *acting set* = [B] (B restarts, A does not)
|
|
|
|
*Last Epoch Clean*
|
|
The last *Epoch* at which all nodes in the *Acting set*
|
|
for a particular placement group were completely
|
|
up to date (both placement group logs and object contents).
|
|
At this point, *recovery* is deemed to have been
|
|
completed.
