Add Support of Curl_multi_wait for RadosGW on Debian Wheezy

Jun 18, 2015 laurentbarbe

WARNING: libcurl doesn't support curl_multi_wait()
WARNING: cross zone / region transfer performance may be affected

If you have already been confronted to this error at startup of RadosGW, the problem is the version of libcurl used. To enable support of curl_multi_wait, you will need to compile radosgw with libcurl >= 7.28.0 : http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_multi_wait.html

On debian wheezy, you can use ceph-extras repo which contains libcurl 7.29.0 to recompile ceph packages :

# apt-cache policy libcurl4-gnutls-dev
libcurl4-gnutls-dev:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 7.26.0-1+wheezy13

# echo  deb http://ceph.com/packages/ceph-extras/debian wheezy main | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph-extras.list
# apt-get update

# apt-cache policy libcurl4-gnutls-dev
libcurl4-gnutls-dev:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 7.29.0-1~bpo70+1.ceph

Retrieve Ceph repo on Github (in this example, I use hammer version) :

# apt-get install git build-essential automake
# git clone --recursive https://github.com/ceph/ceph.git -b hammer
# cd ceph

Install dependencies and build packages (without libbabeltrace-ctf-dev libbabeltrace-dev, here we not need…)

# apt-get install autoconf automake autotools-dev libbz2-dev cryptsetup-bin debhelper default-jdk gdisk javahelper junit4 libaio-dev libatomic-ops-dev libblkid-dev libboost-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libedit-dev libexpat1-dev libfcgi-dev libfuse-dev libgoogle-perftools-dev libkeyutils-dev libleveldb-dev libnss3-dev libsnappy-dev liblttng-ust-dev libtool libudev-dev libxml2-dev parted pkg-config python-nose python-virtualenv sdparm uuid-dev uuid-runtime xfslibs-dev xfsprogs xmlstarlet yasm zlib1g-dev

# dpkg-buildpackage -d

On RadosGW host, you will need to add “ceph-extras” repo (for libcurl) and install radosgw packages and dependencies :

# echo  deb http://ceph.com/packages/ceph-extras/debian wheezy main | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph-extras.list
# apt-get update

# dpkg -i ceph-common_*.deb librbd1_*.deb python-cephfs_*.deb python-rbd_*.deb librados2_*.deb python-ceph_*.deb python-rados_*.deb radosgw_*.deb
