Ceph is a scalable, open source, software-defined storage offering that runs on commodity hardware. Ceph has been developed from the ground up to deliver object, block, and file system storage in a single software platform that is self-managing, self-healing and has no single point of failure. Because of its highly scalable, software defined storage architecture, can be a powerful storage solution to consider. 
42 1 Patrick McGarry
This document covers Ceph tuning guidelines specifically for all flash deployments based on extensive testing by Intel with a variety of system, operating system and Ceph optimizations to achieve highest possible performance for servers with Intel® Xeon® processors and Intel® Solid State Drive Data Center (Intel® SSD DC) Series. Details of OEM system SKUs and Ceph reference architectures for targeted use-cases can be found on ceph.com web-site.

Server Tuning
79 1 Patrick McGarry
Ceph Client Configuration
80 1 Patrick McGarry
In a balanced system configuration both client and storage node configuration need to be optimized to get the best possible cluster performance. Care needs to be taken to ensure Ceph client node server has enough CPU bandwidth to achieve optimum performance. Below graph shows the end to end performance for different client CPU configurations for block workload.

Ceph Storage Node NUMA Tuning
84 1 Patrick McGarry
In order to avoid latency, it is important to minimize inter-socket communication between NUMA nodes to service client IO as fast as possible and avoid latency penalty.  Based on extensive set of experiments conducted in Intel, it is recommended to pin Ceph OSD processes on the same CPU socket that has NVMe SSDs, HBAs and NIC devices attached.

Memory Tuning
94 1 Patrick McGarry
Ceph default packages use tcmalloc. For flash optimized configurations, we found jemalloc providing best possible performance without performance degradation over time. Ceph supports jemalloc for the hammer release and later releases but you need to build with jemalloc option enabled.
95 1 Patrick McGarry
Below graph in figure 4 shows how thread cache size impacts throughput. By tuning thread cache size, performance is comparable between TCMalloc and JEMalloc. However as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, TCMalloc performance degrades over time unlike JEMalloc.

NVMe SSD partitioning
108 1 Patrick McGarry
It is not possible to take advantage of NVMe SSD bandwidth with single OSD.  4 is the optimum number of partitions per SSD drive that gives best possible performance.

2. IP jumbo frames
167 1 Patrick McGarry
If your switch supports jumbo frames, then the larger MTU size is helpful. Our tests showed 9000 MTU improves Sequential Read/Write performance.

Filesystem considerations
171 1 Patrick McGarry
Ceph is designed to be mostly filesystem agnostic–the only requirement being that the filesystem supports extended attributes (xattrs). Ceph OSDs depend on the Extended Attributes (XATTRs) of the underlying file system for: a) Internal object state b) Snapshot metadata c) RGW Access control Lists etc. Currently XFS is the recommended file system. We recommend using big inode size (default inode size is 256 bytes) when creating the file system:
172 1 Patrick McGarry
mkfs.xfs –i size=2048 /dev/sda1
173 1 Patrick McGarry
Setting the inode size is important, as XFS stores xattr data in the inode. If the metadata is too large to fit in the inode, a new extent is created, which can cause quite a performance problem. Upping the inode size to 2048 bytes provides enough room to write the default metadata, plus a little headroom.
174 1 Patrick McGarry
The following example mount options are recommended when using XFS:
175 1 Patrick McGarry
mount -t xfs -o noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8 /dev/sda1 /var/lib/Ceph/osd/Ceph-0
176 1 Patrick McGarry
The following are specific recommendations for Intel SSD and Ceph. 
177 1 Patrick McGarry
mkfs.xfs -f -K -i size=2048 -s size=4096 /dev/md0
178 1 Patrick McGarry
/bin/mount -o noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier /dev/md0 /data/mysql
179 1 Patrick McGarry
Disk read ahead
180 1 Patrick McGarry
Read_ahead is the file prefetching technology used in the Linux operating system. It is a system call that loads a file's contents into the page cache. When a file is subsequently accessed, its contents are read from physical memory rather than from disk, which is much faster.
181 1 Patrick McGarry
echo 2048 > /sys/block/${disk}/queue/read_ahead_kb  (default 128)

OSD: RADOS
194 1 Patrick McGarry
Tuning have significant performance impact of Ceph storage system, there are hundreds of tuning knobs for swift. We will introduce some of the most important tuning settings.
195 1 Patrick McGarry
1. Large PG/PGP number (since Cuttlefish)
196 1 Patrick McGarry
We find using large PG number per OSD (>200) will improve the performance. Also this will ease the data distribution unbalance issue
197 1 Patrick McGarry
(default to 8)
198 1 Patrick McGarry
ceph osd pool create testpool 8192 8192
199 1 Patrick McGarry
200 1 Patrick McGarry
2. omap data on separate disks (since Giant)
201 1 Patrick McGarry
Mounting omap directory to some separate SSD will improve the random write performance. In our testing we saw a ~20% performance improvement.
202 1 Patrick McGarry
203 1 Patrick McGarry
3. objecter_inflight_ops/objecter_inflight_op_bytes (since Cuttlefish)
204 1 Patrick McGarry
objecter_inflight_ops/objecter_inflight_op_bytes throttles tell objecter to throttle outgoing ops according its budget, objecter is responsible for send requests to OSD. By default tweak this parameter to 10x 
205 1 Patrick McGarry
(default to 1024/1024*1024*100)
206 1 Patrick McGarry
objecter_inflight_ops = 10240
207 1 Patrick McGarry
objecter_inflight_op_bytes = 1048576000
208 1 Patrick McGarry
209 1 Patrick McGarry
4. ms_dispatch_throttle_bytes (since Cuttlefish)
210 1 Patrick McGarry
ms_dispatch_throttle_bytes throttle is to throttle dispatch message size for simple messenger, by default tweak this parameter to 10x. 
211 1 Patrick McGarry
ms_dispatch_throttle_bytes = 1048576000
212 1 Patrick McGarry
213 1 Patrick McGarry
5. journal_queue_max_bytes/journal_queue_max_ops (since Cuttlefish)
214 1 Patrick McGarry
journal_queue_max_bytes/journal_queue_max_op throttles are to throttle inflight ops for journal, 
215 1 Patrick McGarry
If journal does not get enough budget for current op, it will block osd op thread, by default tweak this parameter to 10x.
216 1 Patrick McGarry
journal_queueu_max_ops = 3000
217 1 Patrick McGarry
journal_queue_max_bytes = 1048576000
218 1 Patrick McGarry
219 1 Patrick McGarry
220 1 Patrick McGarry
6. filestore_queue_max_ops/filestore_queue_max_bytes (since Cuttlefish)
221 1 Patrick McGarry
filestore_queue_max_ops/filestore_queue_max_bytes throttle are used to throttle inflight ops for filestore, these throttles are checked before sending ops to journal, so if filestore does not get enough budget for current op, osd op thread will be blocked, by default tweak this parameter to 10x.
222 1 Patrick McGarry
filestore_queue_max_ops=5000
223 1 Patrick McGarry
filestore_queue_max_bytes = 1048576000
224 1 Patrick McGarry
225 1 Patrick McGarry
7. filestore_op_threads controls the number of filesystem operation threads that execute in parallel
226 1 Patrick McGarry
If the storage backend is fast enough and has enough queues to support parallel operations, it’s recommended to increase this parameter, given there is enough CPU head room.
227 1 Patrick McGarry
filestore_op_threads=6
228 1 Patrick McGarry
229 1 Patrick McGarry
8. journal_max_write_entries/journal_max_write_bytes (since Cuttlefish)
230 1 Patrick McGarry
journal_max_write_entries/journal_max_write_bytes throttle are used to throttle ops or bytes for every journal write, tweaking these two parameters maybe helpful for small write, by default tweak these two parameters to 10x
231 1 Patrick McGarry
journal_max_write_entries = 5000
232 1 Patrick McGarry
journal_max_write_bytes = 1048576000
233 1 Patrick McGarry
234 1 Patrick McGarry
       
235 1 Patrick McGarry
9. osd_op_num_threads_per_shard/osd_op_num_shards (since Firefly)
236 1 Patrick McGarry
osd_op_num_shards set number of queues to cache requests , osd_op_num_threads_per_shard is    threads number for each queue,  adjusting these two parameters depends on cluster.
237 1 Patrick McGarry
After several performance tests with different settings, we concluded that default parameters provide best performance.
238 1 Patrick McGarry
239 1 Patrick McGarry
10. filestore_max_sync_interval (since Cuttlefish)
240 1 Patrick McGarry
filestore_max_sync_interval control the interval that sync thread flush data from memory to disk, by default filestore write data to memory and sync thread is responsible for flushing data to disk, then journal entries can be trimmed. Note that large filestore_max_sync_interval can cause performance spike. By default tweak this parameter to 10 seconds
241 1 Patrick McGarry
filestore_max_sync_interval = 10
242 1 Patrick McGarry
243 1 Patrick McGarry
244 1 Patrick McGarry
11. ms_crc_data/ms_crc_header (since Cuttlefish)
245 1 Patrick McGarry
Disable crc computation for simple messenger, this can reduce CPU utilization
246 1 Patrick McGarry
247 1 Patrick McGarry
12. filestore_fd_cache_shards/filestore_fd_cache_size (since Firefly)
248 1 Patrick McGarry
filestore cache is map from objectname to fd, filestore_fd_cache_shards set number of LRU Cache,  filestore_fd_cache_size is cache size, tweak these two parameter maybe reduce lookup time of fd
249 1 Patrick McGarry
250 1 Patrick McGarry
251 1 Patrick McGarry
13. Set debug level to 0 (since Cuttlefish)
252 1 Patrick McGarry
For an all-SSD Ceph cluster, set debug level for sub system to 0 will improve the performance.  
253 1 Patrick McGarry
debug_lockdep = 0/0

RBD Tuning
285 1 Patrick McGarry
To help achieve low latency on their RBD layer, we suggest the following, in addition to the CERN tuning referenced in ceph.com. 
286 1 Patrick McGarry
1) echo performance | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor /dev/null 
287 1 Patrick McGarry
2) start each ceph-osd in dedicated cgroup with dedicated cpu cores (which should be free from any other load, even the kernel one like network interrupts)
288 1 Patrick McGarry
3) increase “filestore_omap_header_cache_size” • “filestore_fd_cache_size” , for better caching (16MB for each 500GB of storage)
289 1 Patrick McGarry
For disk entry in libvirt  put address to all three ceph monitors.
290 1 Patrick McGarry
291 1 Patrick McGarry
RGW: Rados Gateway Tuning
292 1 Patrick McGarry
1. Disable usage/access log (since Cuttlefish)
293 1 Patrick McGarry
rgw enable ops log = false
294 1 Patrick McGarry
rgw enable usage log = false
295 1 Patrick McGarry
log file = /dev/null
296 1 Patrick McGarry
We find disabling usage/access log improves the performance.
297 1 Patrick McGarry
2. Using large cache size (since Cuttlefish)
298 1 Patrick McGarry
rgw cache enabled = true
299 1 Patrick McGarry
rgw cache lru size = 100000
300 1 Patrick McGarry
Caching the hot objects improves the GET performance.
301 1 Patrick McGarry
3. Using larger PG split/merge value.  (since Firefly)
302 1 Patrick McGarry
filestore_merge_threshold = 500
303 1 Patrick McGarry
filestore_split_multiple = 100
304 1 Patrick McGarry
We find PG split/merge will introduce a big overhead. Using a large value would postpone the split/merge behavior. This will help the case where lots of small files are stored in the cluster.
305 1 Patrick McGarry
4. Using load balancer with multiple RGW instances (since Cuttlefish)
306 1 Patrick McGarry
307 1 Patrick McGarry
We’ve found that the RGW has some scalability issues at present. With a single RGW instance the performance is poor. Running multiple RGW instances with a load balancer (e.g., Haproxy) will greatly improve the throughput.
308 1 Patrick McGarry
5. Increase the number of Rados handlers (since Hammer)
309 1 Patrick McGarry
Since Hammer it’s able to using multiple number of Rados handlers per RGW instances. Increasing this value should improve the performance.
310 1 Patrick McGarry
6. Using Civetweb frontend (since Giant)
311 1 Patrick McGarry
Before Giant, Apache + Libfastcgi were the recommended settings. However libfastcgi still use the very old ‘select’ mode, which is not able to handle large amount of concurrent IO in our testing. Using Civetweb frontend would help to improve the stability.
312 1 Patrick McGarry
rgw frontends =civetweb port=80
313 1 Patrick McGarry
314 1 Patrick McGarry
7. Moving bucket index to SSD (since Giant)
315 1 Patrick McGarry
Bucket index updating maybe some bottleneck if there’s millions of objects in one single bucket. We’ve find moving the bucket index to SSD storage will improve the performance.
316 1 Patrick McGarry
317 1 Patrick McGarry
8. Bucket Index Sharding (since Hammer)
318 1 Patrick McGarry
We’ve find the bucket index sharding is a problem if there’s large amount of objects inside one bucket. However the index listing speed may be impacted.
319 1 Patrick McGarry
320 1 Patrick McGarry
Erasure Coding Tuning
321 1 Patrick McGarry
1. Use larger stripe width 
322 1 Patrick McGarry
The default erasure code stripe size (4K) is not optimal, We find using a bigger value (64K) will reduce the CPU% a lot (10%+)
323 1 Patrick McGarry
osd_pool_erasure_code_stripe_width = 65536
324 1 Patrick McGarry
