initial code repo
This patch creates initial code repo. For ceph, luminous stable release will be used for base code, and next changes and optimization for ceph will be added to it. For opensds, currently any changes can be upstreamed into original opensds repo (https://github.com/opensds/opensds), and so stor4nfv will directly clone opensds code to deploy stor4nfv environment. And the scripts for deployment based on ceph and opensds will be put into 'ci' directory. Change-Id: I46a32218884c75dda2936337604ff03c554648e4 Signed-off-by: Qiaowei Ren <qiaowei.ren@intel.com>

+ crushtool -- CRUSH map manipulation tool
+==========================================
+
+.. program:: crushtool
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **crushtool** ( -d *map* | -c *map.txt* | --build --num_osds *numosds*
+ *layer1* *...* | --test ) [ -o *outfile* ]
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+**crushtool** is a utility that lets you create, compile, decompile
+and test CRUSH map files.
+
+CRUSH is a pseudo-random data distribution algorithm that efficiently
+maps input values (which, in the context of Ceph, correspond to Placement
+Groups) across a heterogeneous, hierarchically structured device map.
+The algorithm was originally described in detail in the following paper
+(although it has evolved some since then)::
+
+ http://www.ssrc.ucsc.edu/Papers/weil-sc06.pdf
+
+The tool has four modes of operation.
+
+.. option:: --compile|-c map.txt
+
+ will compile a plaintext map.txt into a binary map file.
+
+.. option:: --decompile|-d map
+
+ will take the compiled map and decompile it into a plaintext source
+ file, suitable for editing.
+
+.. option:: --build --num_osds {num-osds} layer1 ...
+
+ will create map with the given layer structure. See below for a
+ detailed explanation.
+
+.. option:: --test
+
+ will perform a dry run of a CRUSH mapping for a range of input
+ values ``[--min-x,--max-x]`` (default ``[0,1023]``) which can be
+ thought of as simulated Placement Groups. See below for a more
+ detailed explanation.
+
+Unlike other Ceph tools, **crushtool** does not accept generic options
+such as **--debug-crush** from the command line. They can, however, be
+provided via the CEPH_ARGS environment variable. For instance, to
+silence all output from the CRUSH subsystem::
+
+ CEPH_ARGS="--debug-crush 0" crushtool ...
+
+
+Running tests with --test
+=========================
+
+The test mode will use the input crush map ( as specified with **-i
+map** ) and perform a dry run of CRUSH mapping or random placement
+(if **--simulate** is set ). On completion, two kinds of reports can be
+created.
+1) The **--show-...** option outputs human readable information
+on stderr.
+2) The **--output-csv** option creates CSV files that are
+documented by the **--help-output** option.
+
+Note: Each Placement Group (PG) has an integer ID which can be obtained
+from ``ceph pg dump`` (for example PG 2.2f means pool id 2, PG id 32).
+The pool and PG IDs are combined by a function to get a value which is
+given to CRUSH to map it to OSDs. crushtool does not know about PGs or
+pools; it only runs simulations by mapping values in the range
+``[--min-x,--max-x]``.
+
+
+.. option:: --show-statistics
+
+ Displays a summary of the distribution. For instance::
+
+ rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 5 result size == 5: 1024/1024
+
+ shows that rule **1** which is named **metadata** successfully
+ mapped **1024** values to **result size == 5** devices when trying
+ to map them to **num_rep 5** replicas. When it fails to provide the
+ required mapping, presumably because the number of **tries** must
+ be increased, a breakdown of the failures is displayed. For instance::
+
+ rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 8: 4/1024
+ rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 9: 93/1024
+ rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 10: 927/1024
+
+ shows that although **num_rep 10** replicas were required, **4**
+ out of **1024** values ( **4/1024** ) were mapped to **result size
+ == 8** devices only.
+
+.. option:: --show-mappings
+
+ Displays the mapping of each value in the range ``[--min-x,--max-x]``.
+ For instance::
+
+ CRUSH rule 1 x 24 [11,6]
+
+ shows that value **24** is mapped to devices **[11,6]** by rule
+ **1**.
+
+.. option:: --show-bad-mappings
+
+ Displays which value failed to be mapped to the required number of
+ devices. For instance::
+
+ bad mapping rule 1 x 781 num_rep 7 result [8,10,2,11,6,9]
+
+ shows that when rule **1** was required to map **7** devices, it
+ could map only six : **[8,10,2,11,6,9]**.
+
+.. option:: --show-utilization
+
+ Displays the expected and actual utilisation for each device, for
+ each number of replicas. For instance::
+
+ device 0: stored : 951 expected : 853.333
+ device 1: stored : 963 expected : 853.333
+ ...
+
+ shows that device **0** stored **951** values and was expected to store **853**.
+ Implies **--show-statistics**.
+
+.. option:: --show-utilization-all
+
+ Displays the same as **--show-utilization** but does not suppress
+ output when the weight of a device is zero.
+ Implies **--show-statistics**.
+
+.. option:: --show-choose-tries
+
+ Displays how many attempts were needed to find a device mapping.
+ For instance::
+
+ 0: 95224
+ 1: 3745
+ 2: 2225
+ ..
+
+ shows that **95224** mappings succeeded without retries, **3745**
+ mappings succeeded with one attempts, etc. There are as many rows
+ as the value of the **--set-choose-total-tries** option.
+
+.. option:: --output-csv
+
+ Creates CSV files (in the current directory) containing information
+ documented by **--help-output**. The files are named after the rule
+ used when collecting the statistics. For instance, if the rule
+ : 'metadata' is used, the CSV files will be::
+
+ metadata-absolute_weights.csv
+ metadata-device_utilization.csv
+ ...
+
+ The first line of the file shortly explains the column layout. For
+ instance::
+
+ metadata-absolute_weights.csv
+ Device ID, Absolute Weight
+ 0,1
+ ...
+
+.. option:: --output-name NAME
+
+ Prepend **NAME** to the file names generated when **--output-csv**
+ is specified. For instance **--output-name FOO** will create
+ files::
+
+ FOO-metadata-absolute_weights.csv
+ FOO-metadata-device_utilization.csv
+ ...
+
+The **--set-...** options can be used to modify the tunables of the
+input crush map. The input crush map is modified in
+memory. For example::
+
+ $ crushtool -i mymap --test --show-bad-mappings
+ bad mapping rule 1 x 781 num_rep 7 result [8,10,2,11,6,9]
+
+could be fixed by increasing the **choose-total-tries** as follows:
+
+ $ crushtool -i mymap --test \
+ --show-bad-mappings \
+ --set-choose-total-tries 500
+
+Building a map with --build
+===========================
+
+The build mode will generate hierarchical maps. The first argument
+specifies the number of devices (leaves) in the CRUSH hierarchy. Each
+layer describes how the layer (or devices) preceding it should be
+grouped.
+
+Each layer consists of::
+
+ bucket ( uniform | list | tree | straw ) size
+
+The **bucket** is the type of the buckets in the layer
+(e.g. "rack"). Each bucket name will be built by appending a unique
+number to the **bucket** string (e.g. "rack0", "rack1"...).
+
+The second component is the type of bucket: **straw** should be used
+most of the time.
+
+The third component is the maximum size of the bucket. A size of zero
+means a bucket of infinite capacity.
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+Suppose we have two rows with two racks each and 20 nodes per rack. Suppose
+each node contains 4 storage devices for Ceph OSD Daemons. This configuration
+allows us to deploy 320 Ceph OSD Daemons. Lets assume a 42U rack with 2U nodes,
+leaving an extra 2U for a rack switch.
+
+To reflect our hierarchy of devices, nodes, racks and rows, we would execute
+the following::
+
+ $ crushtool -o crushmap --build --num_osds 320 \
+ node straw 4 \
+ rack straw 20 \
+ row straw 2 \
+ root straw 0
+ # id weight type name reweight
+ -87 320 root root
+ -85 160 row row0
+ -81 80 rack rack0
+ -1 4 node node0
+ 0 1 osd.0 1
+ 1 1 osd.1 1
+ 2 1 osd.2 1
+ 3 1 osd.3 1
+ -2 4 node node1
+ 4 1 osd.4 1
+ 5 1 osd.5 1
+ ...
+
+CRUSH rulesets are created so the generated crushmap can be
+tested. They are the same rulesets as the one created by default when
+creating a new Ceph cluster. They can be further edited with::
+
+ # decompile
+ crushtool -d crushmap -o map.txt
+
+ # edit
+ emacs map.txt
+
+ # recompile
+ crushtool -c map.txt -o crushmap
+
