Description
Hi,
Ceph and RADOS are wonderfull and allow us to scale the storage. But one great feature would be to have a deduplication feature in order to reduce the footprint of similar data stored multiple times by users in the cluster.
of course, one possibility for that could be to use the underlying FS, for exemple BTRFS with the dedup patches from Josef Bacik (http://lwn.net/Articles/422331/) but :
1) they don't seem to be included/supported by the btrfs team
2) that would be more generic to have it embedded in the ceph core, allowing us to use this feature with other FS.
Does it sounds you feasible or good feature to bring in ?
Regards,
Wilfrid Allembrand
