Gluster - C

software defined distributed storage that can scale to several petabytes. It provides interfaces for object, block and file storage. http://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Quick-Start-Guide/Architecture/

Quickstart

http://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Quick-Start-Guide/Quickstart/

gluster peer probe server2  # from server1
gluster peer probe server1  # from server2
# Once this pool has been established, it must be probed from the pool.
gluster peer status

mkdir -p /data/brick1/gv0   # both server1 and server2
gluster volume create gv0 replica 2 server1:/data/brick1/gv0 server2:/data/brick1/gv0 # any server
gluster volume start gv0

RDMA(Remote direct memory access)

http://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator Guide/RDMA Transport/

As of now only FUSE client and gNFS server would support RDMA transport.

Snapshots

http://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator Guide/Managing Snapshots/ GlusterFS volume snapshot feature is based on thinly provisioned LVM snapshot.

Ceph - C++

Ceph uniquely delivers object, block, and file storage in one unified system. A Ceph Storage Cluster consists of two types of daemons:

  • Ceph Monitor: maintains a master copy of the cluster map

  • Ceph OSD Daemon: checks its own state and the state of other OSDs and reports back to monitors.

Setup

http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/cephfs/

STEP 1: METADATA SERVER
STEP 2: MOUNT CEPHFS

Docker

http://hub.docker.com/r/ceph/

CACHE TIERING

Snapshot

http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rbd/rbd-snapshot/ Ceph supports many higher level interfaces, including QEMU, libvirt, OpenStack and CloudStack. Ceph supports the ability to create many copy-on-write (COW) clones of a block device shapshot. Snapshot layering enables Ceph block device clients to create images very quickly.
