Developer Guide (Quick)¶
This guide will describe how to build and test Ceph for development.
Development¶
The run-make-check.sh script will install Ceph dependencies,
compile everything in debug mode and run a number of tests to verify
the result behaves as expected.
$ ./run-make-check.sh
Optionally if you want to work on a specific component of Ceph, install the dependencies and build Ceph in debug mode with required cmake flags.
Example:
$ ./install-deps.sh
$ ./do_cmake.sh -DWITH_MANPAGE=OFF -DWITH_BABELTRACE=OFF -DWITH_MGR_DASHBOARD_FRONTEND=OFF
Running a development deployment¶
Ceph contains a script called vstart.sh (see also Deploying a development cluster) which allows developers to quickly test their code using
a simple deployment on your development system. Once the build finishes successfully, start the ceph
deployment using the following command:
$ cd ceph/build # Assuming this is where you ran cmake
$ make vstart
$ ../src/vstart.sh -d -n -x
You can also configure vstart.sh to use only one monitor and one metadata server by using the following:
$ MON=1 MDS=1 ../src/vstart.sh -d -n -x
The system creates two pools on startup: cephfs_data_a and cephfs_metadata_a. Let’s get some stats on the current pools:
$ bin/ceph osd pool stats
*** DEVELOPER MODE: setting PATH, PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH ***
pool cephfs_data_a id 1
nothing is going on
pool cephfs_metadata_a id 2
nothing is going on
$ bin/ceph osd pool stats cephfs_data_a
*** DEVELOPER MODE: setting PATH, PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH ***
pool cephfs_data_a id 1
nothing is going on
$ bin/rados df
POOL_NAME USED OBJECTS CLONES COPIES MISSING_ON_PRIMARY UNFOUND DEGRADED RD_OPS RD WR_OPS WR
cephfs_data_a 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
cephfs_metadata_a 2246 21 0 63 0 0 0 0 0 42 8192
total_objects 21
total_used 244G
total_space 1180G
Make a pool and run some benchmarks against it:
$ bin/ceph osd pool create mypool
$ bin/rados -p mypool bench 10 write -b 123
Place a file into the new pool:
$ bin/rados -p mypool put objectone <somefile>
$ bin/rados -p mypool put objecttwo <anotherfile>
List the objects in the pool:
$ bin/rados -p mypool ls
Once you are done, type the following to stop the development ceph deployment:
$ ../src/stop.sh
Resetting your vstart environment¶
The vstart script creates out/ and dev/ directories which contain the cluster’s state. If you want to quickly reset your environment, you might do something like this:
[build]$ ../src/stop.sh
[build]$ rm -rf out dev
[build]$ MDS=1 MON=1 OSD=3 ../src/vstart.sh -n -d
Running a RadosGW development environment¶
Set the RGW environment variable when running vstart.sh to enable the RadosGW.
$ cd build
$ RGW=1 ../src/vstart.sh -d -n -x
You can now use the swift python client to communicate with the RadosGW.
$ swift -A http://localhost:8000/auth -U test:tester -K testing list
$ swift -A http://localhost:8000/auth -U test:tester -K testing upload mycontainer ceph
$ swift -A http://localhost:8000/auth -U test:tester -K testing list
