Description of problem: straw buckets behave badly when weights are 0, or when weights are duplicated. See upstream bugs http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/10214 http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/9998 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. bucket with mix of non-zero and zero weight items 2. change a 0 weight item to .001 Actual results: lots of data moves Expected results: little data moves Additional info: fixed in upstream 0.80.9
Needs to be shipped in an async errata ASAP.
This does not need an async update. It can go in 1.2.4 (whenever that may be).
Re-targeting at 1.3. Setting flags accordingly.
This might be one of those tickets which doesn't need to be so explicit given we will be rebasing on Hammer and bringing this - and a bunch of other things - in en masse.
I'd like to keep this targeted at 1.2.4 for now. Neil's right; for the 1.3 version, Bug 1210037 ("rebase ceph to 0.94") will take care of this.
We'll take in in as part of the RHCS 1.2 rebase to Ceph v0.80.11 (bz 1271774)
@Ken: Since you'll do the rebase, I'm reassigning to you.
The fix is for users to upgrade to RHCeph 1.3.
