Hi David,
sorry for the slow response, we had a hell of a week at work.
OK, so I had compression mode set to aggressive on some pools, but the global
option was not changed, because I interpreted the documentation as "pool
settings take precedence". To check your advise, I executed
ceph tell "osd.*" config set bluestore_compression_mode aggressive
and dumped a new file consisting of null-bytes. Indeed, this time I observe
compressed objects:
[root@ceph-08 ~]# ceph daemon osd.80 perf dump | grep blue
"bluefs": {
"bluestore": {
"bluestore_allocated": 2967207936,
"bluestore_stored": 3161981179,
"bluestore_compressed": 24549408,
"bluestore_compressed_allocated": 261095424,
"bluestore_compressed_original": 522190848,
Obvious questions that come to my mind:
1) I think either the documentation is misleading or the implementation is not
following documented behaviour. I observe that per pool settings do *not*
override globals, but the documentation says they will. (From doc: "Sets the
policy for the inline compression algorithm for underlying BlueStore. This
setting overrides the global setting of bluestore compression mode.") Will this
be fixed in the future? Should this be reported?
Remark: When I look at "compression_mode" under
"http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/rados/operations/pools/?highlight=bluestore%20compression#set-pool-values";
it actually looks like a copy-and-paste error. The doc here talks about
compression algorithm (see quote above) while the compression mode should be
explained. Maybe that is worth looking at?
2) If I set the global to aggressive, do I now have to disable compression
explicitly on pools where I don't want compression or is the pool default still
"none"? Right now, I seem to observe that compression is still disabled by
default.
3) Do you know what the output means? What is the compression ratio?
bluestore_compressed/bluestore_compressed_original=0.04 or
bluestore_compressed_allocated/bluestore_compressed_original=0.5? The second
ratio does not look too impressive given the file contents.
4) Is there any way to get uncompressed data compressed as a background task
like scrub?
If you have the time to look at these questions, this would be great. Most
importantly right now is that I got it to work.
Thanks for your help,
=================

Hi David,
thanks, now I see what you mean. If you are right, that would mean that the
documentation is wrong. Under
"http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/pools/#set-pool-values"; is
stated that "Sets inline compression algorithm to use for underlying BlueStore.
This setting overrides the global setting of bluestore compression algorithm".
In other words, the global setting should be irrelevant if compression is
enabled on a pool.
Well, I will try how setting both to "aggressive" or "force" works out and let
you know.
Thanks and have a nice weekend,

If you go down just a little farther you'll see the settings that you put into
your ceph.conf under the osd section (although I'd probably do global). That's
where the OSDs get the settings from. As a note, once these are set, future
writes will be compressed (if they match the compression settings which you can
see there about minimum ratios, blob sizes, etc). To compress current data,
you need to re-write it.

Hi David,
thanks for your quick answer. When I look at both references, I see exactly the
same commands:
ceph osd pool set {pool-name} {key} {value}
where on one page only keys specific for compression are described. This is the
command I found and used. However, I can't see any compression happening. If
you know about something else than "ceph osd pool set" - commands, please let
me know.
Best regards,

It's all of the settings that you found in your first email when you dumped the
configurations and such.

Hi David,
thanks for your answer. I did enable compression on the pools as described in
the link you sent below (ceph osd pool set sr-fs-data-test compression_mode
aggressive, I also tried force to no avail). However, I could not find anything
on enabling compression per OSD. Could you possibly provide a source or sample
commands?
Thanks and best regards,

When I've tested compression before there are 2 places you need to configure
compression. On the OSDs in the configuration settings that you mentioned, but
also on the [1] pools themselves. If you have the compression mode on the
pools set to none, then it doesn't matter what the OSDs configuration is and
vice versa unless you are using the setting of force. If you want to default
compress everything, set pools to passive and osds to aggressive. If you want
to only compress specific pools, set the osds to passive and the specific pools
to aggressive. Good luck.

I seem to have a problem getting bluestore compression to do anything. I
followed the documentation and enabled bluestore compression on various pools
by executing "ceph osd pool set <pool-name> compression_mode aggressive".
Unfortunately, it seems like no data is compressed at all. As an example, below
is some diagnostic output for a data pool used by a cephfs:
[root@ceph-01 ~]# ceph --version

We dumped a 4Gib file with dd from /dev/zero. Should be easy to compress with
excellent ratio. Search for a PG:

There is about 250MB data on the primary OSD, but noting seems to be compressed:
[root@ceph-07 ~]# ceph daemon osd.53 perf dump | grep blue

"bluestore_stored": 264362803,

[...]
Just to make sure, I checked one of the objects' contents:
[root@ceph-01 ~]# rados ls -p sr-fs-data-test
10000000004.0000039c
[...]
10000000004.0000039f
It is 4M chunks ...

... with all zeros:
[root@ceph-01 ~]# rados -p sr-fs-data-test get 10000000004.0000039f obj
[root@ceph-01 ~]# hexdump -C obj

00400000
All as it should be, except for compression. Am I overlooking something?
