Description

People have hacked together stretch clusters on top of Ceph using 3 sites for years, or even using 2 sites and intervening manually to change the crush map and rules if they lose a full site.

But we want to handle it automatically and make sure it's robust against corner cases such as:
  • a netsplit where the OSDs can't talk across DCs but can both reach in-quorum monitors
  • PGs peer and go active with replicas from only one DC, so if that DC is lost we lose the data despite being configured for multiple sites
  • administrators who have misconfigured their system and don't know.

The initial target configuration is 2 full sites and an off-site tiebreaker monitor.
