Hi Sage et. al, I know this issue is reported number of times in community and attributed to either network issue or unresponsive OSDs. Recently, we are seeing this issue when our all SSD cluster (Jewel based) is stressed with large block size and very high QD. Lowering QD it is working just fine. We are seeing the lossy connection message like below and followed by the osd marked down by monitor.

OSDs is rejoining the cluster after detecting it is marked down wrongly and rebalancing started. This is hurting performance very badly. My question is the following. 1. I have 40Gb network and I am seeing network is not utilized beyond 10-12Gb/s , no network error is reported. So, why this lossy connection message is coming ? what could go wrong here ? Is it network prioritization issue of smaller ping packets ? I tried to gaze ping round time during this and nothing seems abnormal. 2. Nothing is saturated on the OSD side , plenty of network/memory/cpu/disk is left. So, I doubt my osds are unresponsive but yes it is really busy on IO path. Heartbeat is going through separate messenger and threads as well, so, busy op threads should not be making heartbeat delayed. Increasing osd heartbeat grace is only delaying this phenomenon , but, eventually happens after several hours. Anything else we can tune here ? 3. What could be the side effect of big grace period ? I understand that detecting a faulty osd will be delayed, anything else ? 4. I saw if an OSD is crashed, monitor will detect the down osd almost instantaneously and it is not waiting till this grace period. How it is distinguishing between unresponsive and crashed osds ? In which scenario this heartbeat grace is coming into picture ? Any help on clarifying this would be very helpful.
