Thanks Martin for your suggestion!
I will definitely try bluestore later. The version of Ceph I am using is 
v10.2.10 Jewel, do you think it’s stable enough to use Bluestore for Jewel or 
should I upgrade Ceph to Luminous?

Please never use the Datasheet values to select your SSD. We never had a single 
one that that delivers the shown perfomance in a Ceph Journal use case.

However, do not use Filestore anymore. Especialy with newer kernel versions. 
Use Bluestore instead.

Thanks Merrick!

I checked with Intel spec [1], the performance Intel said is,

•  Sequential Read (up to) 500 MB/s
•  Sequential Write (up to) 330 MB/s
•  Random Read (100% Span) 72000 IOPS
•  Random Write (100% Span) 20000 IOPS

I think these indicator should be must better than general HDD, and I have run 
read/write commands with “rados bench” respectively,   there should be some 
difference.

And is there any kinds of configuration that could give us any performance gain 
with this SSD (Intel S4500)?

Only certain SSD's are good for CEPH Journals as can be seen @ 
https://www.sebastien-han.fr/blog/2014/10/10/ceph-how-to-test-if-your-ssd-is-suitable-as-a-journal-device/

The SSD your using isn't listed but doing a quick search online it appears to 
be a SSD designed for read workloads as a "upgrade" from a HD so probably is 
not designed for the high write requirements a journal demands.
Therefore when it's been hit by 3 OSD's of workloads your not going to get much 
more performance out of it than you would just using the disk as your seeing.

Hi all,

We want to compare the performance between HDD partition as the journal (inline 
from OSD disk) and SSD partition as the journal, here is what we have done, we 
have 3 nodes used as Ceph OSD,  each has 3 OSD on it. Firstly, we created the 
OSD with journal from OSD partition, and run “rados bench” utility to test the 
performance, and then migrate the journal from HDD to SSD (Intel S4500) and run 
“rados bench” again, the expected result is SSD partition should be much better 
than HDD, but the result shows us there is nearly no change,

The configuration of Ceph is as below,
pool size: 3
osd size: 3*3
pg (pgp) num: 300
osd nodes are separated across three different nodes
rbd image size: 10G (10240M)

The utility I used is,
rados bench -p rbd $duration write
rados bench -p rbd $duration seq
rados bench -p rbd $duration rand

Is there anything wrong from what I did?  Could anyone give me some suggestion?


Best Regards,
Dave Chen
