If it helps, here is a log with 2/5 from a recent failover which took
3.5 minutes: https://termbin.com/b022
This is 14.2.11 with the optimized recall/cache tuning.


the "Updating MDS map to version" keep showing from init-rejoin at around
2021-03-18 17:12:52.863
until
2021-03-18 17:22:36.356
while the rejoin itself finished atĀ 
2021-03-18 17:15:58.325

So,if it do associated to paxos(with too much changes between then), maybe pinning someĀ 
subtree/directory to particular mds/rank would help too.

Indeed rejoin is always the longest step -- even with cephfs_metadata
on SSDs. These MDSs had the cache limit set to 8GB, and you can see
that the rejoining MDS needed 56GB while booting.

I haven't had a chance to test the rejoin/openfiletables optimizations
yet. (https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/37383)
But I had understood that this is intended to decrease that rejoin
memory usage -- will it also speed things up?
