Hi Budai,
When you ask "*how often the client is retrieving the Cluster Map?*" . The
obvious answer to that is there is nothing 'often' in it. Whenever there is
a change in the map, the monitor will inform the client.
I think you need to read about the CRUSH algorithm in Ceph. Because that
will explain you the map changes and data movement. While going through
CRUSH, forget there is a monitor node. Just suppose there is a client
machine and this client machine READ/WRITE to a cluster ( number of OSDs).
Because theoretically a Ceph client can also be a monitor (not at all
recommended for practical purposes). Once you have understood CRUSH, I am
quite sure that will answer many of your questions.
And feel free to ask about CRUSH. I would be glad to answer.

to be more specific: if we have an RBD volume used by a client (a
hypervisor, or or mapped with rbd), we assume continuous activity on the
volume. How often will the RBD client contact the monitor to get the
current map? Are you aware of any documentation page that describes this
interaction?
Thank you,
Laszlo

Hi Nghia,
in the docs (https://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/architecture/#about-pools)
there is
the statement "Ceph Clients retrieve a Cluster Map from a Ceph
Monitor, and write objects to pools." My question is how often the client
is retrieving the Cluster Map? How does the client get the knowledge about
a change in the cluster?
Thank you,
Laszlo
