Somnath - thanks for the reply ... :-) Haven't tried anything yet - just starting to gather info/input/direction for this solution.
Looking at the S3 API info [2] - there is no mention of support for the "S3a" API extensions - namely "rename" support. The problem with backing via S3 API - if you need to rename a large (say multi GB) data object - you have to copy to new name and delete - this is a very IO expensive operation - and something we do a lot of. That in and of itself might be a deal breaker ... Any idea/input/intention of supporting the S3a exentsions within the RadosGW S3 API implementation? Plus - it seems like it's considered a "bad idea" to back Hadoop via S3 (and indirectly Ceph via RGW) [3]; though not sure if the architectural differences from Amazon's S3 implementation and the far superior Ceph make it more palatable? ~~shane [2] http://ceph.com/docs/master/radosgw/s3/ [3] https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/AmazonS3 On 7/15/15, 9:50 AM, "Somnath Roy" <somnath....@sandisk.com<mailto:somnath....@sandisk.com>> wrote: Did you try to integrate ceph +rgw+s3 with Hadoop?

I've seen a few very vague references to doing that, but haven't found any concrete info (architecture, configuration recommendations, gotchas, lessons learned, etc...). I did find the ceph.com/docs/<http://ceph.com/docs/> info [1] which discusses use of CephFS for backing Hadoop - but this would be foolish for production clusters given that CephFS isn't yet considered production quality/grade. Does anyone in the ceph-users community have experience with this that they'd be willing to share? Preferably ... via use of Ceph - not via CephFS...but I am interested in any CephFS related experiences too. If we were to do this, and Ceph proved out as a backing store to Hadoop - there is the potential to be creating a fairly large multi-Petabyte (100s ??) class backing store for Ceph. We do a very large amount of analytics on a lot of data sets for security trending correlations, etc... Our current Ceph experience is limited to a few small (90 x 4TB OSD size) clusters - which we are working towards putting in production for Glance/Cinder backing and for Block storage for various large storage need platforms (eg software and package repo/mirrors, etc...). Thanks in advance for any input, thoughts, or pointers ... ~~shane [1] http://ceph.com/docs/master/cephfs/hadoop/ _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com<mailto:ceph-users@lists.ceph.com> http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com ________________________________ PLEASE NOTE: The information contained in this electronic mail message is intended only for the use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
