Long Carlos Maltzahn University of California, Santa Cruz {sage, scott, elm, darrell, carlosm}@ Abstract interface, and local cache with an underlying disk or We have developed Ceph, a distributed file system that RAID [4, 7, 8, 32, 35]. OSDs replace the traditional block-level interface with one in which clients can read provides excellent performance, reliability, and scala- bility. Ceph maximizes the separation between data or write byte ranges to much larger (and often variably and metadata management by replacing allocation ta- sized) named objects, distributing low-level block allo- bles with a pseudo-random data distribution function cation decisions to the devices themselves. Clients typ- (CRUSH) designed for heterogeneous and dynamic clus- ically interact with a metadata server (MDS) to perform ters of unreliable object storage devices (OSDs). We metadata operations (open, rename), while communicat- leverage device intelligence by distributing data replica- ing directly with OSDs to perform file I/O (reads and tion, failure detection and recovery to semi-autonomous writes), significantly improving overall scalability. OSDs running a specialized local object file system. A Systems adopting this model continue to suffer from dynamic distributed metadata cluster provides extremely scalability limitations due to
