Doc Text:
.`RocksDB` is enabled as an option to replace `levelDB` This update enables an option to use the `RocksDB` back end for the `omap` database as opposed to `levelDB`. `RocksDB` uses the multi-threading mechanism in compaction so that it better handles the situation when the `omap` directories become very large (more than 40 G). `LevelDB` compaction takes a lot of time in such a situation and causes OSD daemons to time out. For details about conversion from `levelDB` to `RocksDB`, see the link:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3210951[Ceph - Steps to convert OSD omap backend from leveldb to rocksdb] solution on Red Hat Customer Portal.

Doing some final scale testing this week before pulling this in.

Comment 27 Warren 2017-10-13 01:29:52 UTC
I am marking this verified because it works on a newly installed system.

However on an osd after I performed the operations in step 10, I then tried to run the new compact command for ceph (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1483224).  I got:

[root@magna007 ceph-5]# ceph daemon osd.5 compact
admin_socket: exception getting command descriptions: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
admin_socket: exception getting command descriptions: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I am not sure if this is a problem or not.  I am also updating bz 1483224 as well.

This does not seem to work on Ubuntu.  After running the steps in Comment 10:

Comment 31 Warren 2017-10-16 20:19:35 UTC
Passed on both Ubuntu and Rhel.  I ran into a slight gotcha in that I ran some of the commands as root rather than the ceph user.  Josh helped me a bit and things worked after we changed permissions and ran as the correct user.  This comment also applies to bugzilla #1483224
