Hi, We have a Ceph cluster set up and are trying to evaluate Ceph for it's S3 compatible object storage. I came across this best practices document for Amazon S3, which goes over how naming keys in a particular way can improve performance of object GET and PUT operations ( http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1904/). I wonder if this also applies to the object store in Ceph. I am also curious about the best strategy to organize objects in buckets i.e. whether it's a good idea to distribute objects to predefined number of buckets (say for instance 256 or 1024 buckets) or it just doesn't matter how many objects you put in a bucket (i.e. just put all objects in a single bucket). We have objects of size ranging from 50KB to 10 MB.
You probably want to shard them over many buckets. See http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2013-March/000595.html
