Sage Weil	fb690390e3	ceph: make CRUSH hash function a bucket property ... Make the integer hash function a property of the bucket it is used on. This allows us to gracefully add support for new hash functions without starting from scatch. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>	2009-11-07 20:18:22 -08:00
Sage Weil	c6cf726316	ceph: make CRUSH hash functions non-inline ... These are way to big to be inline. I missed crush/* when doing the inline audit for akpm's review. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>	2009-11-06 16:39:26 -08:00
Sage Weil	5ecc0a0f81	ceph: CRUSH mapping algorithm ... CRUSH is a pseudorandom data distribution function designed to map inputs onto a dynamic hierarchy of devices, while minimizing the extent to which inputs are remapped when the devices are added or removed. It includes some features that are specifically useful for storage, most notably the ability to map each input onto a set of N devices that are separated across administrator-defined failure domains. CRUSH is used to distribute data across the cluster of Ceph storage nodes. More information about CRUSH can be found in this paper: http://www.ssrc.ucsc.edu/Papers/weil-sc06.pdf Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>	2009-10-06 11:31:11 -07:00
