Author Comments: The source code for this project was merged into Ceph. Experiment details (such as the benchmarking tool mdtest) are in the paper. Efforts to reproduce the paper were met with difficulty because reproducibility was not made a first class citizen. Our experiences with making this paper reproducible (including its setup and benchmarking) are published in our workshop paper titled: Popper Pitfalls: Experiences Following a Reproducibility Convention (https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3214243).
