Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.Improved error messaging in the Ceph Object Gateway Previously, when an invalid placement group configuration prevented the Ceph Object Gateway from creating any of its internal pools, the error message was insufficient, making it difficult to deduce the root cause of failure. The error message now suggests there might be an issue with the configuration such as an insufficient number of placement groups or inconsistent values set for the `pg_num` and `pgp_num` parameters, making it easier for the administrator to solve the problem.

Description Harald Klein 2016-11-23 15:40:10 UTC 
Description of problem:

When the default "pg num" and "pgp num" settings in ceph.conf are misconfigured (e.g. due to a typo), rados gw can't create the pools and will print this error:

2016-11-23 11:07:07.383664 7efef6e229c0  0 ERROR:  storing info for 40f94cf3-796e-494f-bcec-655b91a58cc1: (34) Numerical result out of range

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

A more specific error messages would help our customers to quickly identify the problem.

How reproducible:

Put conflicting settings into ceph.conf:
osd pool default pg num = 33
osd pool default pgp num = 34

Steps to Reproduce:
1. misconfigure
2. try to startup rados gw
3. watch error

Actual results:

ret -34 (34) Numerical result out of range

Expected results:

Some nice error message to point the customer to his misconfiguration
