<div dir="ltr">We've been having issues with our container servers timing out and simply returning a 404. The container servers themselves are on busy disks that aren't particularly overloaded, but are definitely under load.<div>
<br></div><div>The messages look like the following:</div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">Feb 10 20:22:19 proxy01 swift ERROR with Container server storage01:6001/slot-11 re: Trying to GET /v1/AUTH_swift/very_busy_container: Timeout (10s) (txn: tx6b921c72e5524589839fe-0052f934e7</font></div>
<div><br></div><div>I realize this container has too many keys, but unfortunately I cannot shard it for now because we need to keep parity with S3 (which does internal bucket sharding).</div><div><br></div><div>What are the best ways to tackle busy container servers timing out? Should I increase the node timeout, or begin creating separate container servers that are running on SSDs? Is there any serious drawback to increase the node timeout?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, has there been any update on internal container sharding? This feature would make S3 migrations much easier.</div><div><div><br></div><div>Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.</div><div>
