I upgraded our Luminous cluster to Nautilus a couple of weeks ago and converted the last batch of FileStore OSDs to BlueStore about 36 hours ago. Yesterday our monitor cluster went nuts and started constantly calling elections because monitor nodes were at 100% and wouldn't respond to heartbeats. I reduced the monitor cluster to one to prevent the constant elections and that let the system limp along until the backfills finished. There are large amounts of time where ceph commands hang with the CPU is at 100%, when the CPU drops I see a lot of work getting done in the monitor logs which stops as soon as the CPU is at 100% again. I did a `perf top` on the node to see what's taking all the time and it appears to be in the rocksdb code path. I've set `mon_compact_on_start = true` in the ceph.conf but that does not appear to help. The `/var/lib/ceph/mon/` directory is 311MB which is down from 3.0 GB while the backfills were going on. I've tried adding a second monitor, but it goes back to the constant elections. I tried restarting all the services without luck. I also pulled the monitor from the network work and tried restarting the mon service isolated (this helped a couple of weeks ago when `ceph -s` would cause 100% CPU and lock up the service much worse than this) and didn't see the high CPU load. So I'm guessing it's triggered from some external source. I'm happy to provide more info, just let me know what would be helpful.
