Dividing by the first 20s of the second sample period, you're seeing ~750 client metadata operations handled per second, which is kind of a baseline level of performance (a little better than what I get running a ceph cluster locally on my workstation). That's probably corresponding to roughly the same number of file creates per second -- your workload is very much a small file one, where "files per second" is a much more meaningful measure than IOPS or MB/s. It does look like the kind of pattern where you've got a large clutch of several thousand metadata pool rados ops coming out every few seconds, then draining out over a few seconds. Your metadata pool isn't pathologically slow (it's completing at least hundreds of ops per second), but it is noticeable that during some periods where op_active is draining, handle_client_request is not incrementing -- i.e. client metadata ops are stalling while the MDS waits for its RADOS operations to complete. I can't say a massive amount beyond that, other than what you'd already figured out -- it would be worth trying to put some faster storage in for your metadata pool.
