13.0.1
------
* *RGW, MON*:
Commands variously marked as "del", "delete", "remove" etc. should now all be
normalized as "rm". Commands already supporting alternatives to "rm" remain
backward-compatible.
* *CephFS*:
* Upgrading an MDS cluster to 12.2.3+ will result in all active MDS
exiting due to feature incompatibilities once an upgraded MDS comes online
(even as standby). Operators may ignore the error messages and continue
upgrading/restarting or follow this upgrade sequence:
Reduce the number of ranks to 1 (`ceph fs set <fs_name> max_mds 1`), wait
for all other MDS to deactivate, leaving the one active MDS, upgrade the
single active MDS, then upgrade/start standbys. Finally, restore the
previous max_mds.
See also: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/23172
* Several "ceph mds" commands have been obsoleted and replaced
by equivalent "ceph fs" commands:
- mds dump -> fs dump
- mds getmap -> fs dump
- mds stop -> mds deactivate
- mds set_max_mds -> fs set max_mds
- mds set -> fs set
- mds cluster_down -> fs set joinable false
- mds cluster_up -> fs set joinable true
- mds add_data_pool -> fs add_data_pool
- mds remove_data_pool -> fs rm_data_pool
- mds rm_data_pool -> fs rm_data_pool
* As the multiple MDS feature is now standard, it is now enabled by
default. ceph fs set allow_multimds is now deprecated and will be
removed in a future release.
* As the directory fragmentation feature is now standard, it is now
enabled by default. ceph fs set allow_dirfrags is now deprecated and
will be removed in a future release.
* MDS daemons now activate and deactivate based on the value of
max_mds. Accordingly, ceph mds deactivate has been deprecated as it
is now redundant.
* Taking a CephFS cluster down is now done by setting the down flag which
deactivates all MDS. For example: `ceph fs set cephfs down true`.
* Preventing standbys from joining as new actives (formerly the now
deprecated cluster_down flag) on a file system is now accomplished by
setting the joinable flag. This is useful mostly for testing so that a
file system may be quickly brought down and deleted.
* New CephFS file system attributes session_timeout and session_autoclose
are configurable via `ceph fs set`. The MDS config options
mds_session_timeout, mds_session_autoclose, and mds_max_file_size are now
obsolete.
* Each mds rank now maintains a table that tracks open files and their
ancestor directories. Recovering MDS can quickly get open files' pathes,
significantly reducing the time of loading inodes for open files. MDS
creates the table automatically if it does not exist.
* *RBD*
* The RBD C API's rbd_discard method now enforces a maximum length of
2GB to match the C++ API's Image::discard method. This restriction
prevents overflow of the result code.
* The rbd CLI's "lock list" JSON and XML output has changed.
* The rbd CLI's "showmapped" JSON and XML output has changed.
* RBD now optionally supports simplified image clone semantics where
non-protected snapshots can be cloned; and snapshots with linked clones
can be removed and the space automatically reclaimed once all remaining
linked clones are detached. This feature is enabled by default if
the OSD "require-min-compat-client" flag is set to mimic or later; or can be
overridden via the "rbd_default_clone_format" configuration option.
* The sample ``crush-location-hook`` script has been removed. Its output is
equivalent to the built-in default behavior, so it has been replaced with an
example in the CRUSH documentation.
* The "rcceph" script (systemd/ceph in the source code tree, shipped as
/usr/sbin/rcceph in the ceph-base package for CentOS and SUSE) has been
dropped. This script was used to perform admin operations (start, stop,
restart, etc.) on all OSD and/or MON daemons running on a given machine.
This functionality is provided by the systemd target units (ceph-osd.target,
ceph-mon.target, etc.).
* The python-ceph-compat package is declared deprecated, and will be dropped
when all supported distros have completed the move to Python 3. It has
already been dropped from those supported distros where Python 3 is standard
and Python 2 is optional (currently only SUSE).
* The -f option of the rados tool now means "--format" instead of "--force",
for consistency with the ceph tool.
>= 13.0.2
---------
The ceph-rest-api command-line tool (obsoleted by the MGR "restful" module and
deprecated since v12.2.5) has been dropped.
There is a MGR module called "restful" which provides similar functionality
via a "pass through" method. See http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/mgr/restful
for details.
>= 12.2.5
---------
The ceph-rest-api command-line tool included in the ceph-mon package has been
obsoleted by the MGR "restful" module. The ceph-rest-api tool is hereby
declared deprecated and will be dropped in Mimic.
The MGR "restful" module provides similar functionality via a "pass through"
method. See http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/mgr/restful for details.
13.0.2
------
* The format of the 'config diff' output via the admin socket has changed. It
now reflects the source of each config option (e.g., default, config file,
command line) as well as the final (active) value.
* The `pg force-recovery` command will not work for erasure-coded
PGs when a Luminous monitor is running along with a Mimic OSD.
Please use the recommended upgrade order of monitors before OSDs to
avoid this issue.
* It is no longer possible to adjust ``pg_num`` on a pool that is
still being created.
13.0.3
------
* The ``osd_mon_report_interval_min`` option has been renamed to
``osd_mon_report_interval``, and the ``osd_mon_report_interval_max``
(unused) has been eliminated. If this value has been customized on
your cluster then your configuration should be adjusted in order to
avoid reverting to the default value.
* *rados list-inconsistent-obj format changes:*
* Various error strings have been improved. For example, the "oi" or "oi_attr"
in errors which stands for object info is now "info" (e.g. oi_attr_missing is
now info_missing).
* The object's "selected_object_info" is now in json format instead of string.
* The attribute errors (attr_value_mismatch, attr_name_mismatch) only apply to user
attributes. Only user attributes are output and have the internal leading underscore
stripped.
* If there are hash information errors (hinfo_missing, hinfo_corrupted,
hinfo_inconsistency) then "hashinfo" is added with the json format of the
information. If the information is corrupt then "hashinfo" is a string
containing the value.
* If there are snapset errors (snapset_missing, snapset_corrupted,
snapset_inconsistency) then "snapset" is added with the json format of the
information. If the information is corrupt then "snapset" is a string containing
the value.
* If there are object information errors (info_missing, info_corrupted,
obj_size_info_mismatch, object_info_inconsistency) then "object_info" is added
with the json format of the information instead of a string. If the information
is corrupt then "object_info" is a string containing the value.
* *rados list-inconsistent-snapset format changes:*
* Various error strings have been improved. For example, the "ss_attr" in
errors which stands for snapset info is now "snapset" (e.g. ss_attr_missing is
now snapset_missing). The error snapset_mismatch has been renamed to snapset_error
to better reflect what it means.
* The head snapset information is output in json format as "snapset." This means that
even when there are no head errors, the head object will be output when any shard
has an error. This head object is there to show the snapset that was used in
determining errors.
* The config-key interface can store arbitrary binary blobs but JSON
can only express printable strings. If binary blobs are present,
the 'ceph config-key dump' command will show them as something like
``<<< binary blob of length N >>>``.
* The Ceph LZ4 compression plugin is now enabled by default, and introduces
a new build dependency.
* Monitors will now prune on-disk full maps if the number of maps grows above
a certain number (mon_osdmap_full_prune_min, default: 10000), thus
preventing unbounded growth of the monitor data store. This feature is
enabled by default, and can be disabled by setting
`mon_osdmap_full_prune_enabled` to false.
* Bootstrap auth keys will now be generated automatically on a fresh
deployment; these keys will also be generated, if missing, during upgrade.
* The (read-only) Ceph manager dashboard introduced in Ceph Luminous has been
replaced with a new implementation, providing a drop-in replacement offering
a number of additional management features. To access the new dashboard, you
first need to define a username and password. See the documentation for a
feature overview and installation instructions:
