Dear Cephers,

We  are running tons of Ceph clusters on Luminous  with bluefs_allocator being 
bitmap, and when looking at Nautilus, 14.1.22, bluefs_allocator is now 
defaulting to hybrid. I am then wondering the follwoing:

1)  what will be the advantage for using hybrid instead of bitmap (which seems 
to be working very well now)?

Generally it looks like hybrid allocator is faster than bitmap, especially when long continuous chunks to be allocated in a highly fragmented space. But there were also some complains about higher tail latencies caused by hybrid allocator, e.g. https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/52804

Hopefully this is fixed in the master and to be ported back to Octopus soon.


2)  Is it saft to keep Nautilus with bluefs_allocator  settting to bitmap?

yes, it's totally safe.



Cheers,

samuel
