In general it won't affect performance at all since the monitors are out of the data path. If you managed to get a cluster so large that 3 monitors couldn't support the status update messages and requests from your cluster then adding more could improve things; because each monitor has to commit to disk on every update then increasing the size of the cluster will eventually slow down those (out of the data path!) updates. > And – will accessing Ceph monitors thru a haproxy server also improve > performance? I'm not quite sure how you would do this in a way that the Ceph protocol could deal with, but maybe I'm missing something. -Greg Software Engineer #42 @ http://inktank.com | http://ceph.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
