Jeff Hughes, CTO at Igneous Systems, reviews why Igneous decided to design their own Datapath. After a six month review of open source options, they took a lot of inspiration from the Ceph project. Igneous uses an algorithm similar to CRUSH as used by Ceph to deterministically layout data across a distributed system. The overall built from scratch design prioritizes capacity and performance. To that effect, the system is designed to handle 4-8 concurrent failures.
