bucket_straw2_choose needs to use weights that may be different from
weight_items. For instance to compensate for an uneven distribution
caused by a low number of values. Or to fix the probability biais
introduced by conditional probabilities (see
http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/15653 for more information).
We introduce a weight_set for each straw2 bucket to set the desired
weight for a given item at a given position. The weight of a given item
when picking the first replica (first position) may be different from
the weight the second replica (second position). For instance the weight
matrix for a given bucket containing items 3, 7 and 13 could be as
follows:
position 0 position 1
item 3 0x10000 0x100000
item 7 0x40000 0x10000
item 13 0x40000 0x10000
When crush_do_rule picks the first of two replicas (position 0), item 7,
3 are four times more likely to be choosen by bucket_straw2_choose than
item 13. When choosing the second replica (position 1), item 3 is ten
times more likely to be choosen than item 7, 13.
By default the weight_set of each bucket exactly matches the content of
item_weights for each position to ensure backward compatibility.
bucket_straw2_choose compares items by using their id. The same ids are
also used to index buckets and they must be unique. For each item in a
bucket an array of ids can be provided for placement purposes and they
are used instead of the ids. If no replacement ids are provided, the
legacy behavior is preserved.
