Ceph 0.80.8/0.91发布,分布式文件系统

　　Ceph 0.91 发布，我们正在快速的达到 Hammer 版本的特性冻结阶段，但还有一些更多的开发版需要推出。Ceph 0.91 最值得关注的是 CephFS 基于子树的配额支持（ceph-fuse、libcephfs 客户端支持）；重写了 librados API 的监控提醒方法，这主要用于 RBD 和 RGW 上；OSDMap checksum 确保 maps 在集群内永远一致；librados 新的 API 调用和 librbd 用于在 posix_fadvise 后的 IO 提示建模，改进了对每个 PG 状态的存储。

　　我们期望在 Hammer 功能冻结 (0.93) 之前还需要发布两个版本。

更新内容包括：

• The 'category' field for objects has been removed.  This was originally added to track PG stat summations over different categories of objects for use by radosgw.  It is no longer has any known users and is prone to abuse because it can lead to a pg_stat_t structure that is unbounded.  The librados API calls that accept this field now ignore it, and the OSD no longers tracks the per-category summations.

• The output for 'rados df' has changed.  The 'category' level has been eliminated, so there is now a single stat object per pool.  The structure of the JSON output is different, and the plaintext output has one less column.

• The 'rados create <objectname> [category]' optional category argument is no longer supported or recognized.

• rados.py's Rados class no longer has a __del__ method; it was causing problems on interpreter shutdown and use of threads.  If your code has Rados objects with limited lifetimes and you're concerned about locked resources, call Rados.shutdown() explicitly.

• There is a new version of the librados watch/notify API with vastly improved semantics.  Any applications using this interface are encouraged to migrate to the new API.  The old API calls are marked as deprecated and will eventually be removed.

• The librados rados_unwatch() call used to be safe to call on an invalid handle.  The new version has undefined behavior when passed a bogus value (for example, when rados_watch() returns an error and handle is not defined).

• The structure of the formatted 'pg stat' command is changed for the portion that counts states by name to avoid using the '+' character (which appears in state names) as part of the XML token (it is not legal).
