+
+Description
+===========
+
+**crushtool** is a utility that lets you create, compile, decompile
+and test CRUSH map files.
+
+CRUSH is a pseudo-random data distribution algorithm that efficiently
+maps input values (which, in the context of Ceph, correspond to Placement
+Groups) across a heterogeneous, hierarchically structured device map.
+The algorithm was originally described in detail in the following paper
+(although it has evolved some since then)::
+
+ http://www.ssrc.ucsc.edu/Papers/weil-sc06.pdf
+
+The tool has four modes of operation.
+
+.. option:: --compile|-c map.txt
+
+ will compile a plaintext map.txt into a binary map file.
+
+.. option:: --decompile|-d map
+
+ will take the compiled map and decompile it into a plaintext source
+ file, suitable for editing.
+
+.. option:: --build --num_osds {num-osds} layer1 ...
+
+ will create map with the given layer structure. See below for a
+ detailed explanation.
+
+.. option:: --test
+
+ will perform a dry run of a CRUSH mapping for a range of input
+ values ``[--min-x,--max-x]`` (default ``[0,1023]``) which can be
+ thought of as simulated Placement Groups. See below for a more
+ detailed explanation.
+
+Unlike other Ceph tools, **crushtool** does not accept generic options
+such as **--debug-crush** from the command line. They can, however, be
+provided via the CEPH_ARGS environment variable. For instance, to
+silence all output from the CRUSH subsystem::
+
+ CEPH_ARGS="--debug-crush 0" crushtool ...
+
+
+Running tests with --test
+=========================
+
+The test mode will use the input crush map ( as specified with **-i
+map** ) and perform a dry run of CRUSH mapping or random placement
+(if **--simulate** is set ). On completion, two kinds of reports can be
+created.
+1) The **--show-...** option outputs human readable information
+on stderr.
+2) The **--output-csv** option creates CSV files that are
+documented by the **--help-output** option.
+
+Note: Each Placement Group (PG) has an integer ID which can be obtained
+from ``ceph pg dump`` (for example PG 2.2f means pool id 2, PG id 32).
+The pool and PG IDs are combined by a function to get a value which is
+given to CRUSH to map it to OSDs. crushtool does not know about PGs or
+pools; it only runs simulations by mapping values in the range
+``[--min-x,--max-x]``.
+
+
+.. option:: --show-statistics
+
+ Displays a summary of the distribution. For instance::
+
+ rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 5 result size == 5: 1024/1024
+
+ shows that rule **1** which is named **metadata** successfully
+ mapped **1024** values to **result size == 5** devices when trying
+ to map them to **num_rep 5** replicas. When it fails to provide the
+ required mapping, presumably because the number of **tries** must
+ be increased, a breakdown of the failures is displayed. For instance::
+
+ rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 8: 4/1024
+ rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 9: 93/1024
+ rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 10: 927/1024
+
+ shows that although **num_rep 10** replicas were required, **4**
+ out of **1024** values ( **4/1024** ) were mapped to **result size
+ == 8** devices only.
+
+.. option:: --show-mappings
+
+ Displays the mapping of each value in the range ``[--min-x,--max-x]``.
+ For instance::
+
+ CRUSH rule 1 x 24 [11,6]
+
+ shows that value **24** is mapped to devices **[11,6]** by rule
+ **1**.
+
+.. option:: --show-bad-mappings
+
+ Displays which value failed to be mapped to the required number of
+ devices. For instance::
+
+ bad mapping rule 1 x 781 num_rep 7 result [8,10,2,11,6,9]
+
+ shows that when rule **1** was required to map **7** devices, it
+ could map only six : **[8,10,2,11,6,9]**.
+
+.. option:: --show-utilization
+
+ Displays the expected and actual utilisation for each device, for
+ each number of replicas. For instance::
+
+ device 0: stored : 951 expected : 853.333
+ device 1: stored : 963 expected : 853.333
+ ...
+
+ shows that device **0** stored **951** values and was expected to store **853**.
+ Implies **--show-statistics**.
+
+.. option:: --show-utilization-all
+
+ Displays the same as **--show-utilization** but does not suppress
+ output when the weight of a device is zero.
+ Implies **--show-statistics**.
+
+.. option:: --show-choose-tries
+
+ Displays how many attempts were needed to find a device mapping.
+ For instance::
+
+ 0: 95224
+ 1: 3745
+ 2: 2225
+ ..
+
+ shows that **95224** mappings succeeded without retries, **3745**
+ mappings succeeded with one attempts, etc. There are as many rows
+ as the value of the **--set-choose-total-tries** option.
+
+.. option:: --output-csv
+
+ Creates CSV files (in the current directory) containing information
+ documented by **--help-output**. The files are named after the rule
+ used when collecting the statistics. For instance, if the rule
+ : 'metadata' is used, the CSV files will be::
+
+ metadata-absolute_weights.csv
+ metadata-device_utilization.csv
+ ...
+
+ The first line of the file shortly explains the column layout. For
+ instance::
+
+ metadata-absolute_weights.csv
+ Device ID, Absolute Weight
+ 0,1
+ ...
+
+.. option:: --output-name NAME
+
+ Prepend **NAME** to the file names generated when **--output-csv**
+ is specified. For instance **--output-name FOO** will create
+ files::
+
+ FOO-metadata-absolute_weights.csv
+ FOO-metadata-device_utilization.csv
+ ...
+
+The **--set-...** options can be used to modify the tunables of the
+input crush map. The input crush map is modified in
+memory. For example::
+
+ $ crushtool -i mymap --test --show-bad-mappings
+ bad mapping rule 1 x 781 num_rep 7 result [8,10,2,11,6,9]
+
+could be fixed by increasing the **choose-total-tries** as follows:
+
+ $ crushtool -i mymap --test \
+ --show-bad-mappings \
+ --set-choose-total-tries 500
+
+Building a map with --build
+===========================
+
+The build mode will generate hierarchical maps. The first argument
+specifies the number of devices (leaves) in the CRUSH hierarchy. Each
+layer describes how the layer (or devices) preceding it should be
+grouped.
+
+Each layer consists of::
+
+ bucket ( uniform | list | tree | straw ) size
+
+The **bucket** is the type of the buckets in the layer
+(e.g. "rack"). Each bucket name will be built by appending a unique
+number to the **bucket** string (e.g. "rack0", "rack1"...).
+
+The second component is the type of bucket: **straw** should be used
+most of the time.
+
+The third component is the maximum size of the bucket. A size of zero
+means a bucket of infinite capacity.
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+Suppose we have two rows with two racks each and 20 nodes per rack. Suppose
+each node contains 4 storage devices for Ceph OSD Daemons. This configuration
+allows us to deploy 320 Ceph OSD Daemons. Lets assume a 42U rack with 2U nodes,
+leaving an extra 2U for a rack switch.
+
+To reflect our hierarchy of devices, nodes, racks and rows, we would execute
+the following::
+
+ $ crushtool -o crushmap --build --num_osds 320 \
+ node straw 4 \
+ rack straw 20 \
+ row straw 2 \
+ root straw 0
+ # id weight type name reweight
+ -87 320 root root
+ -85 160 row row0
+ -81 80 rack rack0
+ -1 4 node node0
+ 0 1 osd.0 1
+ 1 1 osd.1 1
+ 2 1 osd.2 1
+ 3 1 osd.3 1
+ -2 4 node node1
+ 4 1 osd.4 1
+ 5 1 osd.5 1
+ ...
+
+CRUSH rulesets are created so the generated crushmap can be
+tested. They are the same rulesets as the one created by default when
+creating a new Ceph cluster. They can be further edited with::
+
+ # decompile
+ crushtool -d crushmap -o map.txt
+
+ # edit
+ emacs map.txt
+
+ # recompile
+ crushtool -c map.txt -o crushmap
