Curve is a distributed storage system designed and developed by NetEase, featured with high performance, easy operation and cloud native. Curve is compose of CurveBS(Curve Block Storage) and CurveFS(Curve FileSystem). CurveBS supports snapshot, clone, and recover, also supports virtual machines with qemu and physical machine with nbd. CurveFS supports POSIX based on Fuse.
Curve: v1.2.0
Ceph: L/N
Curve random read and write performance far exceeds Ceph in the block storage scenario.
Environment：3 replicas on a 6-node cluster, each node has 20xSATA SSD, 2xE5-2660 v4 and 256GB memory.
Single Vol：
Multi Vols：
The stability of the common abnormal Curve is better than that of Ceph in the block storage scenario.
| Fault Case | One Disk Failure | Slow Disk Detect | One Server Failure | Server Suspend Animation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ceph | jitter 7s | Continuous io jitter | jitter 7s | unrecoverable |
| Curve | jitter 4s | no effect | jitter 4s | jitter 4s |
Curve ops is more friendly than Curve in the block storage scenario.
| Ops scenarios | Upgrade clients | Balance |
|---|---|---|
| Ceph | do not support live upgrade | via plug-in with IO influence |
| Curve | support live upgrade with second jitter | auto with no influence on IO |

In order to improve the convenience of Curve operation and maintenance, we have designed and developed the CurveAdm project, which is mainly used to deploy and manage Curve clusters. Currently, it supports the deployment of CurveFS (CurveBS support is under development).

test cases compiling and running
Fio curve engine is added, you can clone https://github.com/skypexu/fio/tree/nebd_engine and compile the fio tool with our engine(depend on nebd lib), fio command line example: ./fio --thread --rw=randwrite --bs=4k --ioengine=nebd --nebd=cbd:pool//pfstest_test_ --iodepth=10 --runtime=120 --numjobs=10 --time_based --group_reporting --name=curve-fio-test
CURVE is coded following Google C++ Style Guide strictly. Please follow this guideline if you're trying to contribute your codes.
- Unit tests: Incremental line coverage ≥ 80%, incremental branch coverage ≥ 70%
- Integration tests: Measure together with unit tests, and should fulfill the same requirement
- Exception tests: Not required yet
After finishing the development of your code, you should submit a pull request to master branch of CURVE and fill out a pull request template. The pull request will trigger the CI automatically, and the code will only be merged after passing the CI and being reviewed.
For more detail, please refer to CONTRIBUTING.

CURVE release cycle：Half a year for major version, 1~2 months for minor version
-
Versioning format: We use a sequence of three digits and a suffix (x.y.z{-suffix}), x is the major version, y is the minor version, and z is for bugfix. The suffix is for distinguishing beta (-beta), RC (-rc) and GA version (without any suffix). Major version x will increase 1 every half year, and y will increase every 1~2 months. After a version is released, number z will increase if there's any bugfix.
All the developments will be done under master branch. If there's any new version to establish, a new branch release-x.y will be pulled from the master, and the new version will be released from this branch.
