Hi Maxime,
This is a very interesting concept. Instead of the primary affinity being used
to choose SSD for primary copy, you set crush rule to first choose an osd in
the ‘ssd-root’, then the ‘hdd-root’ for the second set.
And with 'step chooseleaf first {num}’
> If {num} > 0 && < pool-num-replicas, choose that many buckets.
So 1 chooses that bucket
> If {num} < 0, it means pool-num-replicas - {num}
And -1 means it will fill remaining replicas on this bucket.
This is a very interesting concept, one I had not considered.
Really appreciate this feedback.
Thanks,
Reed
