Hi Cephers,

We're in the middle of trying to triage the issue with ceph cluster 
running 0.80.9 which was reported by Songbo and seeking for you experts' 
advices.

In fact, per our testing the process of stopping an working OSD and 
starting it again will lead to a huge performance downgrade. In other 
words, this issue can be reproduced quite easily, and we cannot lower 
the impact of the state of OSD by tuning the settings like 
osd_max_backfills/osd_recovery_max_chunk/osd_recovery_max_active. 
Through looking into the source code, we notice that the requests issued 
by clients will be queued firstly when the corresponding PGs are in some 
certain states (like recovering and backfill) and then processed. During 
this period, the IOPS outputted by fio drops significantly(from 2000 to 
60). What we can think of this is to guarantee the data consistency, are 
we correct? If that's the design, we're wondering how Ceph can support 
the applications that are performance-sensitive? Is there any other 
parameters we can tuning to reduce the impact?

Thanks,
Jevon
