Description

Want to have estimates of storage usage.

Proposal:

Keep-balance keeps track of storage usage per-project, and updates the project records at the conclusion of each run, similarly to how it currently maintains the replication status fields for collections.

For each project, it should record:

  • Perceived usage - approximately what you would get from sum(file_size_total) of collections in the project
  • Project deduplicated usage - each unique block counted exactly once
  • Whole cluster deduplicated usage - each unique block size multiplied by the ratio of (appearances of that block in project / appearances in whole cluster)

Related:

The total bytes counts up manifest streams and not files so if you have a collection with a single 10 KiB file that's embedded in a 64 MiB block, it gets counted as 64 MiB and not 10 KiB. This seems to result in somewhat exaggerated deduplication ratios. There should be a metric that counts just the 10 KiB referenced.

From Matrix discussion:

Peter:

Basically, the deduplication ratio on some clusters seems a little exaggerated.
My suspicion is that it may be over-counting due to the block packing/slicing behavior
basically I'd like a number which corresponds to sum(file_size_total) -- the usage as perceived by the user. Also if you were to export the entire thing to some other storage system, that's what you'd actually use. (I'm assuming file_size_total means what I think it means but I now I have to go check).

Tom:
I see, that makes sense. So, currently the ratio only tells you block de-duplication, but to compare a regular filesystem you would want to account for both block de-duplication and block-packing wastage.
I think file_size_total should work.
