Do you remember that one big customer we simulated on SLC? If not here is a short recap. That customer uploads a high amount of small and medium size files with a short TTL. It turns out storage nodes can handle the initial uploads but things gets expensive when the TTL kicks in. The storage nodes s…

Just a note about a new forum thread - Hashstore is coming out of tech preview: Hashstore rollout commencing!

set STORJ_HASHSTORE_TABLE_DEFAULT_KIND=mem and it’ll write out memtbls during compaction. That is all.

Can I enable hashstore during first storj node installation or still I have to edit this files manually?

My logic dictates that you first run setup, than start up the node to make those files appear, in order to change the settings and switch to hashstore, but maybe they are created at setup? I don’t realy know…

You still need to edit these files manually.

What performance do you get with hashstore compared to badger cache, as GB stored? I run hashstore only on 2 nodes and the others run the badger cache. The hashstore ones performe the worst, storing 3x less data in july than others. Do you see similar behavior? It’s not from deleted data. I have o…

[image] snorkel: Raw data: -hashstore: +300GB -badger: + 870GB Are you saying that your hashstore nodes increased by 300 GB while your badger nodes grew by more than 870 GB in July? If I recall correctly, hashstore was specifically designed for Select nodes, which handle significantly more …

Are the specs identical between those two nodes? Used space available space and so on?

Available space plenty. There are differecies between the systems, but they didn’t made any difference for ingress before switching to hashstore. They are all Synology’s 2 bays, the hashstore rig has 8GB RAM, the others have 18GB RAM. But even when I had only 1 GB RAM installed, the ingress/stored d…

Thanks for the feedback. We continuously measured the performance of thousands of piecestore/hashstore nodes. Hashstore was way better all the time. Especially with normal/large storagenodes with 20-80 M of pieces. Badger cache can help sometime (it can make the walkers faster), but still there a…

after node conversion, hashstore is very fragmentated, so it can perform a lot slower, that tested in the lab, that made from scratch. I think we will see main performance benefits when nodes start to go over 6-10TB of used space. this is how it looks like [Screenshot 2025-08-19 132941]
