[Ceph-announce] v14.2.0 Nautilus released

We're glad to announce the first release of Nautilus v14.2.0 stable series. There have been a lot of changes across components from the previous Ceph releases, and we advise everyone to go through the release and upgrade notes carefully. The release also saw commits from over 300 contributors and we'd like to thank everyone from the community for making this release happen. The next major release of Ceph will be called Octopus. Consider joining us in the second edition of Cephalocon, at Barcelona this year https://ceph.com/cephalocon/barcelona-2019/ For a detailed changelog please refer to the official blog entry at http://ceph.com/releases/v14-2-0-nautilus-released/ Major Changes from Mimic ------------------------ - *Dashboard*: The Ceph Dashboard has gained a lot of new functionality: * Support for multiple users / roles * SSO (SAMLv2) for user authentication * Auditing support * New landing page, showing more metrics and health info * I18N support * REST API documentation with Swagger API New Ceph management features include: * OSD management (mark as down/out, change OSD settings, recovery profiles) * Cluster config settings editor * Ceph Pool management (create/modify/delete) * ECP management * RBD mirroring configuration * Embedded Grafana Dashboards (derived from Ceph Metrics) * CRUSH map viewer * NFS Ganesha management * iSCSI target management (via ceph-iscsi) * RBD QoS configuration * Ceph Manager (ceph-mgr) module management * Prometheus alert Management Also, the Ceph Dashboard is now split into its own package named ``ceph-mgr-dashboard``. You might want to install it separately, if your package management software fails to do so when it installs ``ceph-mgr``. - *RADOS*: * The number of placement groups (PGs) per pool can now be decreased at any time, and the cluster can `automatically tune the PG count <pg-autoscaler>`_ based on cluster utilization or administrator hints. * The new :ref:`v2 wire protocol <msgr2>` brings support for encryption on the wire. * Physical `storage devices <devices>`_ consumed by OSD and Monitor daemons are now tracked by the cluster along with health metrics (i.e., SMART), and the cluster can apply a pre-trained prediction model or a cloud-based prediction service to `warn about expected HDD or SSD failures <diskprediction>`_. * The NUMA node for OSD daemons can easily be monitored via the ``ceph osd numa-status`` command, and configured via the ``osd_numa_node`` config option. * When BlueStore OSDs are used, space utilization is now broken down by object data, omap data, and internal metadata, by pool, and by pre- and post- compression sizes. * OSDs more effectively prioritize the most important PGs and objects when performing recovery and backfill. * Progress for long-running background processes--like recovery after a device failure--is now reported as part of ``ceph status``. * An experimental `Coupled-Layer "Clay" erasure code <https://www.usenix.org/conference/fast18/presentation/vajha>`_ plugin has been added that reduces network bandwidth and IO needed for most recovery operations. - *RGW*: * S3 lifecycle transition for tiering between storage classes. * A new web frontend (Beast) has replaced civetweb as the default, improving overall performance. * A new publish/subscribe infrastructure allows RGW to feed events to serverless frameworks like knative or data pipelies like Kafka. * A range of authentication features, including STS federation using OAuth2 and OpenID::connect and an OPA (Open Policy Agent) authentication delegation prototype. * The new archive zone federation feature enables full preservation of all objects (including history) in a separate zone. - *CephFS*: * MDS stability has been greatly improved for large caches and long-running clients with a lot of RAM. Cache trimming and client capability recall is now throttled to prevent overloading the MDS. * CephFS may now be exported via NFS-Ganesha clusters in environments managed by Rook. Ceph manages the clusters and ensures high-availability and scalability. An `introductory demo <https://ceph.com/community/deploying-a-cephnfs-server-cluster-with-rook/>`_ is available. More automation of this feature is expected to be forthcoming in future minor releases of Nautilus. * The MDS ``mds_standby_for_*``, ``mon_force_standby_active``, and ``mds_standby_replay`` configuration options have been obsoleted. Instead, the operator :ref:`may now set <mds-standby-replay>` the new ``allow_standby_replay`` flag on the CephFS file system. This setting causes standbys to become standby-replay for any available rank in the file system. * MDS now supports dropping its cache which concurrently asks clients to trim their caches. This is done using MDS admin socket ``cache drop`` command. * It is now possible to check the progress of an on-going scrub in the MDS. Additionally, a scrub may be paused or aborted. See :ref:`the scrub documentation <mds-scrub>` for more information. * A new interface for creating volumes is provided via the ``ceph volume`` command-line-interface. * A new cephfs-shell tool is available for manipulating a CephFS file system without mounting. * CephFS-related output from ``ceph status`` has been reformatted for brevity, clarity, and usefulness. * Lazy IO has been revamped. It can be turned on by the client using the new CEPH_O_LAZY flag to the ``ceph_open`` C/C++ API or via the config option ``client_force_lazyio``. * CephFS file system can now be brought down rapidly via the ``ceph fs fail`` command. See :ref:`the administration page <cephfs-administration>` for more information. - *RBD*: * Images can be live-migrated with minimal downtime to assist with moving images between pools or to new layouts. * New ``rbd perf image iotop`` and ``rbd perf image iostat`` commands provide an iotop- and iostat-like IO monitor for all RBD images. * The *ceph-mgr* Prometheus exporter now optionally includes an IO monitor for all RBD images. * Support for separate image namespaces within a pool for tenant isolation. - *Misc*: * Ceph has a new set of :ref:`orchestrator modules <orchestrator-cli-module>` to directly interact with external orchestrators like ceph-ansible, DeepSea, Rook, or simply ssh via a consistent CLI (and, eventually, Dashboard) interface. Upgrading from Mimic or Luminous -------------------------------- Notes ~~~~~ * During the upgrade from Luminous to Nautilus, it will not be possible to create a new OSD using a Luminous ceph-osd daemon after the monitors have been upgraded to Nautilus. We recommend you avoid adding or replacing any OSDs while the upgrade is in progress. * We recommend you avoid creating any RADOS pools while the upgrade is in progress. * You can monitor the progress of your upgrade at each stage with the ``ceph versions`` command, which will tell you what ceph version(s) are running for each type of daemon. Instructions ~~~~~~~~~~~~ #. If your cluster was originally installed with a version prior to Luminous, ensure that it has completed at least one full scrub of all PGs while running Luminous. Failure to do so will cause your monitor daemons to refuse to join the quorum on start, leaving them non-functional. If you are unsure whether or not your Luminous cluster has completed a full scrub of all PGs, you can check your cluster's state by running:: # ceph osd dump | grep ^flags In order to be able to proceed to Nautilus, your OSD map must include the ``recovery_deletes`` and ``purged_snapdirs`` flags. If your OSD map does not contain both these flags, you can simply wait for approximately 24-48 hours, which in a standard cluster configuration should be ample time for all your placement groups to be scrubbed at least once, and then repeat the above process to recheck. However, if you have just completed an upgrade to Luminous and want to proceed to Mimic in short order, you can force a scrub on all placement groups with a one-line shell command, like:: # ceph pg dump pgs_brief | cut -d " " -f 1 | xargs -n1 ceph pg scrub You should take into consideration that this forced scrub may possibly have a negative impact on your Ceph clients' performance. #. Make sure your cluster is stable and healthy (no down or recovering OSDs). (Optional, but recommended.) #. Set the ``noout`` flag for the duration of the upgrade. (Optional, but recommended.):: # ceph osd set noout #. Upgrade monitors by installing the new packages and restarting the monitor daemons. For example, on each monitor host,:: # systemctl restart ceph-mon.target Once all monitors are up, verify that the monitor upgrade is complete by looking for the ``nautilus`` string in the mon map. The command:: # ceph mon dump | grep min_mon_release should report:: min_mon_release 14 (nautilus) If it doesn't, that implies that one or more monitors hasn't been upgraded and restarted and/or the quorum does not include all monitors. #. Upgrade ``ceph-mgr`` daemons by installing the new packages and restarting all manager daemons. For example, on each manager host,:: # systemctl restart ceph-mgr.target Please note, if you are using Ceph Dashboard, you will probably need to install ``ceph-mgr-dashboard`` separately after upgrading ``ceph-mgr`` package. The install script of ``ceph-mgr-dashboard`` will restart the manager daemons automatically for you. So in this case, you can just skip the step to restart the daemons. Verify the ``ceph-mgr`` daemons are running by checking ``ceph -s``:: # ceph -s ... services: mon: 3 daemons, quorum foo,bar,baz mgr: foo(active), standbys: bar, baz ... #. Upgrade all OSDs by installing the new packages and restarting the ceph-osd daemons on all OSD hosts:: # systemctl restart ceph-osd.target You can monitor the progress of the OSD upgrades with the ``ceph versions`` or ``ceph osd versions`` commands:: # ceph osd versions { "ceph version 13.2.5 (...) mimic (stable)": 12, "ceph version 14.2.0 (...) nautilus (stable)": 22, } #. If there are any OSDs in the cluster deployed with ceph-disk (e.g., almost any OSDs that were created before the Mimic release), you need to tell ceph-volume to adopt responsibility for starting the daemons. On each host containing OSDs, ensure the OSDs are currently running, and then:: # ceph-volume simple scan # ceph-volume simple activate --all We recommend that each OSD host be rebooted following this step to verify that the OSDs start up automatically. Note that ceph-volume doesn't have the same hot-plug capability that ceph-disk did, where a newly attached disk is automatically detected via udev events. If the OSD isn't currently running when the above ``scan`` command is run, or a ceph-disk-based OSD is moved to a new host, or the host OSD is reinstalled, or the ``/etc/ceph/osd`` directory is lost, you will need to scan the main data partition for each ceph-disk OSD explicitly. For example,:: # ceph-volume simple scan /dev/sdb1 The output will include the appopriate ``ceph-volume simple activate`` command to enable the OSD. #. Upgrade all CephFS MDS daemons. For each CephFS file system, #. Reduce the number of ranks to 1. (Make note of the original number of MDS daemons first if you plan to restore it later.):: # ceph status # ceph fs set <fs_name> max_mds 1 #. Wait for the cluster to deactivate any non-zero ranks by periodically checking the status:: # ceph status #. Take all standby MDS daemons offline on the appropriate hosts with:: # systemctl stop ceph-mds@<daemon_name> #. Confirm that only one MDS is online and is rank 0 for your FS:: # ceph status #. Upgrade the last remaining MDS daemon by installing the new packages and restarting the daemon:: # systemctl restart ceph-mds.target #. Restart all standby MDS daemons that were taken offline:: # systemctl start ceph-mds.target #. Restore the original value of ``max_mds`` for the volume:: # ceph fs set <fs_name> max_mds <original_max_mds> #. Upgrade all radosgw daemons by upgrading packages and restarting daemons on all hosts:: # systemctl restart radosgw.target #. Complete the upgrade by disallowing pre-Nautilus OSDs and enabling all new Nautilus-only functionality:: # ceph osd require-osd-release nautilus #. If you set ``noout`` at the beginning, be sure to clear it with:: # ceph osd unset noout #. Verify the cluster is healthy with ``ceph health``. #. To enable the new :ref:`v2 network protocol <msgr2>`, issue the following command:: ceph mon enable-msgr2 This will instruct all monitors that bind to the old default port 6789 for the legacy v1 protocol to also bind to the new 3300 v2 protocol port. To see if all monitors have been updated,:: ceph mon dump and verify that each monitor has both a ``v2:`` and ``v1:`` address listed. #. For each host that has been upgraded, you should update your ``ceph.conf`` file so that it either specifies no monitor port (if you are running the monitors on the default ports) or references both the v2 and v1 addresses and ports explicitly. Things will still work if only the v1 IP and port are listed, but each CLI instantiation or daemon will need to reconnect after learning the monitors also speak the v2 protocol, slowing things down a bit and preventing a full transition to the v2 protocol. This is also a good time to fully transition any config options in ``ceph.conf`` into the cluster's configuration database. On each host, you can use the following command to import any options into the monitors with:: ceph config assimilate-conf -i /etc/ceph/ceph.conf You can see the cluster's configuration database with:: ceph config dump To create a minimal but sufficient ``ceph.conf`` for each host,:: ceph config generate-minimal-conf > /etc/ceph/ceph.conf Be sure to use this new config only on hosts that have been upgraded to Nautilus, as it may contain a ``mon_host`` value that includes the new ``v2:`` and ``v1:`` prefixes for IP addresses that is only understood by Nautilus. For more information, see :ref:`msgr2_ceph_conf`. #. Consider enabling the :ref:`telemetry module <telemetry>` to send anonymized usage statistics and crash information to the Ceph upstream developers. To see what would be reported (without actually sending any information to anyone),:: ceph mgr module enable telemetry ceph telemetry show If you are comfortable with the data that is reported, you can opt-in to automatically report the high-level cluster metadata with:: ceph telemetry on For more information about the telemetry module, see `the documentation <telemetry>`_. Upgrading from pre-Luminous releases (like Jewel) ------------------------------------------------- You *must* first upgrade to Luminous (12.2.z) before attempting an upgrade to Nautilus. In addition, your cluster must have completed at least one scrub of all PGs while running Luminous, setting the ``recovery_deletes`` and ``purged_snapdirs`` flags in the OSD map. Upgrade compatibility notes --------------------------- These changes occurred between the Mimic and Nautilus releases. * ``ceph pg stat`` output has been modified in json format to match ``ceph df`` output: - "raw_bytes" field renamed to "total_bytes" - "raw_bytes_avail" field renamed to "total_bytes_avail" - "raw_bytes_avail" field renamed to "total_bytes_avail" - "raw_bytes_used" field renamed to "total_bytes_raw_used" - "total_bytes_used" field added to represent the space (accumulated over all OSDs) allocated purely for data objects kept at block(slow) device * ``ceph df [detail]`` output (GLOBAL section) has been modified in plain format: - new 'USED' column shows the space (accumulated over all OSDs) allocated purely for data objects kept at block(slow) device. - 'RAW USED' is now a sum of 'USED' space and space allocated/reserved at block device for Ceph purposes, e.g. BlueFS part for BlueStore. * ``ceph df [detail]`` output (GLOBAL section) has been modified in json format: - 'total_used_bytes' column now shows the space (accumulated over all OSDs) allocated purely for data objects kept at block(slow) device - new 'total_used_raw_bytes' column shows a sum of 'USED' space and space allocated/reserved at block device for Ceph purposes, e.g. BlueFS part for BlueStore. * ``ceph df [detail]`` output (POOLS section) has been modified in plain format: - 'BYTES USED' column renamed to 'STORED'. Represents amount of data stored by the user. - 'USED' column now represent amount of space allocated purely for data by all OSD nodes in KB. - 'QUOTA BYTES', 'QUOTA OBJECTS' aren't showed anymore in non-detailed mode. - new column 'USED COMPR' - amount of space allocated for compressed data. i.e., compressed data plus all the allocation, replication and erasure coding overhead. - new column 'UNDER COMPR' - amount of data passed through compression (summed over all replicas) and beneficial enough to be stored in a compressed form. - Some columns reordering * ``ceph df [detail]`` output (POOLS section) has been modified in json format: - 'bytes used' column renamed to 'stored'. Represents amount of data stored by the user. - 'raw bytes used' column renamed to "stored_raw". Totals of user data over all OSD excluding degraded. - new 'bytes_used' column now represent amount of space allocated by all OSD nodes. - 'kb_used' column - the same as 'bytes_used' but in KB. - new column 'compress_bytes_used' - amount of space allocated for compressed data. i.e., compressed data plus all the allocation, replication and erasure coding overhead. - new column 'compress_under_bytes' amount of data passed through compression (summed over all replicas) and beneficial enough to be stored in a compressed form. * ``rados df [detail]`` output (POOLS section) has been modified in plain format: - 'USED' column now shows the space (accumulated over all OSDs) allocated purely for data objects kept at block(slow) device. - new column 'USED COMPR' - amount of space allocated for compressed data. i.e., compressed data plus all the allocation, replication and erasure coding overhead. - new column 'UNDER COMPR' - amount of data passed through compression (summed over all replicas) and beneficial enough to be stored in a compressed form. * ``rados df [detail]`` output (POOLS section) has been modified in json format: - 'size_bytes' and 'size_kb' columns now show the space (accumulated over all OSDs) allocated purely for data objects kept at block device. - new column 'compress_bytes_used' - amount of space allocated for compressed data. i.e., compressed data plus all the allocation, replication and erasure coding overhead. - new column 'compress_under_bytes' amount of data passed through compression (summed over all replicas) and beneficial enough to be stored in a compressed form. * ``ceph pg dump`` output (totals section) has been modified in json format: - new 'USED' column shows the space (accumulated over all OSDs) allocated purely for data objects kept at block(slow) device. - 'USED_RAW' is now a sum of 'USED' space and space allocated/reserved at block device for Ceph purposes, e.g. BlueFS part for BlueStore. * The ``ceph osd rm`` command has been deprecated. Users should use ``ceph osd destroy`` or ``ceph osd purge`` (but after first confirming it is safe to do so via the ``ceph osd safe-to-destroy`` command). * The MDS now supports dropping its cache for the purposes of benchmarking.:: ceph tell mds.* cache drop <timeout> Note that the MDS cache is cooperatively managed by the clients. It is necessary for clients to give up capabilities in order for the MDS to fully drop its cache. This is accomplished by asking all clients to trim as many caps as possible. The timeout argument to the ``cache drop`` command controls how long the MDS waits for clients to complete trimming caps. This is optional and is 0 by default (no timeout). Keep in mind that clients may still retain caps to open files which will prevent the metadata for those files from being dropped by both the client and the MDS. (This is an equivalent scenario to dropping the Linux page/buffer/inode/dentry caches with some processes pinning some inodes/dentries/pages in cache.) * The ``mon_health_preluminous_compat`` and ``mon_health_preluminous_compat_warning`` config options are removed, as the related functionality is more than two versions old. Any legacy monitoring system expecting Jewel-style health output will need to be updated to work with Nautilus. * Nautilus is not supported on any distros still running upstart so upstart specific files and references have been removed. * The ``ceph pg <pgid> list_missing`` command has been renamed to ``ceph pg <pgid> list_unfound`` to better match its behaviour. * The *rbd-mirror* daemon can now retrieve remote peer cluster configuration secrets from the monitor. To use this feature, the rbd-mirror daemon CephX user for the local cluster must use the ``profile rbd-mirror`` mon cap. The secrets can be set using the ``rbd mirror pool peer add`` and ``rbd mirror pool peer set`` actions. * The 'rbd-mirror' daemon will now run in active/active mode by default, where mirrored images are evenly distributed between all active 'rbd-mirror' daemons. To revert to active/passive mode, override the 'rbd_mirror_image_policy_type' config key to 'none'. * The ``ceph mds deactivate`` is fully obsolete and references to it in the docs have been removed or clarified. * The libcephfs bindings added the ``ceph_select_filesystem`` function for use with multiple filesystems. * The cephfs python bindings now include ``mount_root`` and ``filesystem_name`` options in the mount() function. * erasure-code: add experimental *Coupled LAYer (CLAY)* erasure codes support. It features less network traffic and disk I/O when performing recovery. * The ``cache drop`` OSD command has been added to drop an OSD's caches: - ``ceph tell osd.x cache drop`` * The ``cache status`` OSD command has been added to get the cache stats of an OSD: - ``ceph tell osd.x cache status`` * The libcephfs added several functions that allow restarted client to destroy or reclaim state held by a previous incarnation. These functions are for NFS servers. * The ``ceph`` command line tool now accepts keyword arguments in the format ``--arg=value`` or ``--arg value``. * ``librados::IoCtx::nobjects_begin()`` and ``librados::NObjectIterator`` now communicate errors by throwing a ``std::system_error`` exception instead of ``std::runtime_error``. * The callback function passed to ``LibRGWFS.readdir()`` now accepts a ``flags`` parameter. it will be the last parameter passed to ``readdir()`` method. * The ``cephfs-data-scan scan_links`` now automatically repair inotables and snaptable. * Configuration values ``mon_warn_not_scrubbed`` and ``mon_warn_not_deep_scrubbed`` have been renamed. They are now ``mon_warn_pg_not_scrubbed_ratio`` and ``mon_warn_pg_not_deep_scrubbed_ratio`` respectively. This is to clarify that these warnings are related to pg scrubbing and are a ratio of the related interval. These options are now enabled by default. * The MDS cache trimming is now throttled. Dropping the MDS cache via the ``ceph tell mds.<foo> cache drop`` command or large reductions in the cache size will no longer cause service unavailability. * The CephFS MDS behavior with recalling caps has been significantly improved to not attempt recalling too many caps at once, leading to instability. MDS with a large cache (64GB+) should be more stable. * MDS now provides a config option ``mds_max_caps_per_client`` (default: 1M) to limit the number of caps a client session may hold. Long running client sessions with a large number of caps have been a source of instability in the MDS when all of these caps need to be processed during certain session events. It is recommended to not unnecessarily increase this value. * The MDS config ``mds_recall_state_timeout`` has been removed. Late client recall warnings are now generated based on the number of caps the MDS has recalled which have not been released. The new configs ``mds_recall_warning_threshold`` (default: 32K) and ``mds_recall_warning_decay_rate`` (default: 60s) sets the threshold for this warning. * The Telegraf module for the Manager allows for sending statistics to an Telegraf Agent over TCP, UDP or a UNIX Socket. Telegraf can then send the statistics to databases like InfluxDB, ElasticSearch, Graphite and many more. * The graylog fields naming the originator of a log event have changed: the string-form name is now included (e.g., ``"name": "mgr.foo"``), and the rank-form name is now in a nested section (e.g., ``"rank": {"type": "mgr", "num": 43243}``). * If the cluster log is directed at syslog, the entries are now prefixed by both the string-form name and the rank-form name (e.g., ``mgr.x mgr.12345 ...`` instead of just ``mgr.12345 ...``). * The JSON output of the ``ceph osd find`` command has replaced the ``ip`` field with an ``addrs`` section to reflect that OSDs may bind to multiple addresses. * CephFS clients without the 's' flag in their authentication capability string will no longer be able to create/delete snapshots. To allow ``client.foo`` to create/delete snapshots in the ``bar`` directory of filesystem ``cephfs_a``, use command: - ``ceph auth caps client.foo mon 'allow r' osd 'allow rw tag cephfs data=cephfs_a' mds 'allow rw, allow rws path=/bar'`` * The ``osd_heartbeat_addr`` option has been removed as it served no (good) purpose: the OSD should always check heartbeats on both the public and cluster networks. * The ``rados`` tool's ``mkpool`` and ``rmpool`` commands have been removed because they are redundant; please use the ``ceph osd pool create`` and ``ceph osd pool rm`` commands instead. * The ``auid`` property for cephx users and RADOS pools has been removed. This was an undocumented and partially implemented capability that allowed cephx users to map capabilities to RADOS pools that they "owned". Because there are no users we have removed this support. If any cephx capabilities exist in the cluster that restrict based on auid then they will no longer parse, and the cluster will report a health warning like:: AUTH_BAD_CAPS 1 auth entities have invalid capabilities client.bad osd capability parse failed, stopped at 'allow rwx auid 123' of 'allow rwx auid 123' The capability can be adjusted with the ``ceph auth caps`` command. For example,:: ceph auth caps client.bad osd 'allow rwx pool foo' * The ``ceph-kvstore-tool`` ``repair`` command has been renamed ``destructive-repair`` since we have discovered it can corrupt an otherwise healthy rocksdb database. It should be used only as a last-ditch attempt to recover data from an otherwise corrupted store. * The default memory utilization for the mons has been increased somewhat. Rocksdb now uses 512 MB of RAM by default, which should be sufficient for small to medium-sized clusters; large clusters should tune this up. Also, the ``mon_osd_cache_size`` has been increase from 10 OSDMaps to 500, which will translate to an additional 500 MB to 1 GB of RAM for large clusters, and much less for small clusters. * The ``mgr/balancer/max_misplaced`` option has been replaced by a new global ``target_max_misplaced_ratio`` option that throttles both balancer activity and automated adjustments to ``pgp_num`` (normally as a result of ``pg_num`` changes). If you have customized the balancer module option, you will need to adjust your config to set the new global option or revert to the default of .05 (5%). * By default, Ceph no longer issues a health warning when there are misplaced objects (objects that are fully replicated but not stored on the intended OSDs). You can reenable the old warning by setting ``mon_warn_on_misplaced`` to ``true``. * The ``ceph-create-keys`` tool is now obsolete. The monitors automatically create these keys on their own. For now the script prints a warning message and exits, but it will be removed in the next release. Note that ``ceph-create-keys`` would also write the admin and bootstrap keys to /etc/ceph and /var/lib/ceph, but this script no longer does that. Any deployment tools that relied on this behavior should instead make use of the ``ceph auth export <entity-name>`` command for whichever key(s) they need. * The ``mon_osd_pool_ec_fast_read`` option has been renamed ``osd_pool_default_ec_fast_read`` to be more consistent with other ``osd_pool_default_*`` options that affect default values for newly created RADOS pools. * The ``mon addr`` configuration option is now deprecated. It can still be used to specify an address for each monitor in the ``ceph.conf`` file, but it only affects cluster creation and bootstrapping, and it does not support listing multiple addresses (e.g., both a v2 and v1 protocol address). We strongly recommend the option be removed and instead a single ``mon host`` option be specified in the ``[global]`` section to allow daemons and clients to discover the monitors. * New command ``ceph fs fail`` has been added to quickly bring down a file system. This is a single command that unsets the joinable flag on the file system and brings down all of its ranks. * The ``cache drop`` admin socket command has been removed. The ``ceph tell mds.X cache drop`` remains.
