Release v2.0.0 · OpenMPDK/dss-sdk

Gen2 Overview

DSS can now be deployed with gen2 mode, which utilizes RDD (RDMA Data Direct).
- This feature enables clients to transfer object data directly from DSS targets without the need to go through the MinIO servers.
- This allows better performance, as well as improved network and memory resource utilization in the DSS Stack.
- This feature is integrated with DSS Client APIs and allows for seamless integration with applications using the thin DSS client library.
To deploy DSS with gen2 mode enabled, it is required that both front-end (in tcp_ip_list) and back-end (in rocev2_ip_list) IP addresses be from RDMA-enabled network interfaces. See dss-ansible README for details.
dss-ansible will deploy DSS in "gen2" mode simply by setting gen2=true in your Ansible inventory file. The default value is false, which will deploy DSS in gen1 mode (not using the RDD feature, does not require RDMA front-end network).

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v2.0.0

target may be unstable when writing 4MB objects or larger (gen2 mode)
cannot deploy gen2 in disaggregated mode if using unequal number of target and host nodes
client library may not function in gen2 mode in disaggregated deployments, due to stand-alone MinIO sync issue
executing nkv_test_cli through dss_host.py requires additional arguments which are not documented
