Description: RADOS metadata are data that describe and provide information about other data stored in the RADOS (Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store) system, which is a fundamental part of Ceph, a distributed storage platform. This metadata allows users and applications to manage and access data more efficiently, facilitating the organization, search, and retrieval of information. Metadata can include details such as the object’s name, size, creation date, access permissions, and other attributes that help define the context and characteristics of the stored data. The ability to effectively handle metadata is crucial in large-scale storage environments, where the amount of data can be overwhelming. RADOS uses a distributed approach to store both data and its metadata, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance. This architecture allows metadata to be accessed quickly and efficiently, enhancing user experience and optimizing overall system performance.
