.. index:: journal; journal configuration
|
|
|
|
Ceph OSDs use a journal for two reasons: speed and consistency.
|
|
|
|
- **Speed:** The journal enables the Ceph OSD Daemon to commit small writes
|
|
quickly. Ceph writes small, random i/o to the journal sequentially, which
|
|
tends to speed up bursty workloads by allowing the backing filesystem more
|
|
time to coalesce writes. The Ceph OSD Daemon's journal, however, can lead
|
|
to spiky performance with short spurts of high-speed writes followed by
|
|
periods without any write progress as the filesystem catches up to the
|
|
journal.
|
|
|
|
- **Consistency:** Ceph OSD Daemons require a filesystem interface that
|
|
guarantees atomic compound operations. Ceph OSD Daemons write a description
|
|
of the operation to the journal and apply the operation to the filesystem.
|
|
This enables atomic updates to an object (for example, placement group
|
|
metadata). Every few seconds--between ``filestore max sync interval`` and
|
|
``filestore min sync interval``--the Ceph OSD Daemon stops writes and
|
|
synchronizes the journal with the filesystem, allowing Ceph OSD Daemons to
|
|
trim operations from the journal and reuse the space. On failure, Ceph
|
|
OSD Daemons replay the journal starting after the last synchronization
|
|
operation.
|
|
|
|
Ceph OSD Daemons support the following journal settings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
``journal dio``
|
|
|
|
:Description: Enables direct i/o to the journal. Requires ``journal block
|
|
align`` set to ``true``.
|
|
|
|
:Type: Boolean
|
|
:Required: Yes when using ``aio``.
|
|
:Default: ``true``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``journal aio``
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 0.61 Cuttlefish
|
|
|
|
:Description: Enables using ``libaio`` for asynchronous writes to the journal.
|
|
Requires ``journal dio`` set to ``true``.
|
|
|
|
:Type: Boolean
|
|
:Required: No.
|
|
:Default: Version 0.61 and later, ``true``. Version 0.60 and earlier, ``false``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``journal block align``
|
|
|
|
:Description: Block aligns write operations. Required for ``dio`` and ``aio``.
|
|
:Type: Boolean
|
|
:Required: Yes when using ``dio`` and ``aio``.
|
|
:Default: ``true``
|
|
|
|
|
|
``journal max write bytes``
|
|
|
|
:Description: The maximum number of bytes the journal will write at
|
|
any one time.
|
|
|
|
:Type: Integer
|
|
:Required: No
|
|
:Default: ``10 << 20``
|
|
|
|
|
|
``journal max write entries``
|
|
|
|
:Description: The maximum number of entries the journal will write at
|
|
any one time.
|
|
|
|
:Type: Integer
|
|
:Required: No
|
|
:Default: ``100``
|
|
|
|
|
|
``journal queue max ops``
|
|
|
|
:Description: The maximum number of operations allowed in the queue at
|
|
any one time.
|
|
|
|
:Type: Integer
|
|
:Required: No
|
|
:Default: ``500``
|
|
|
|
|
|
``journal queue max bytes``
|
|
|
|
:Description: The maximum number of bytes allowed in the queue at
|
|
any one time.
|
|
|
|
:Type: Integer
|
|
:Required: No
|
|
:Default: ``10 << 20``
|
|
|
|
|
|
``journal align min size``
|
|
|
|
:Description: Align data payloads greater than the specified minimum.
|
|
:Type: Integer
|
|
:Required: No
|
|
:Default: ``64 << 10``
|
|
|
|
|
|
``journal zero on create``
|
|
|
|
:Description: Causes the file store to overwrite the entire journal with
|
|
``0``'s during ``mkfs``.
|
|
:Type: Boolean
|
|
:Required: No
|
|
:Default: ``false``
