Is there an influence on concurrency? Can operations local to a chunk proceed entirely independently of other chunks? Per-chunk log for local operation, with global log for cross-chunk operations? Now -that- should be trivial to implement, right??? Just a small matter of software... ;-)
But, yes, 3,000 chunks does seem a bit of a pain to manage -- at least unless there is some way of automatically taking care of them. But do the chunks really need to be the same size? Could the filesystem allocate and free them, sort of like super-extents that contain metadata?
If we explore all the options, will it get done before 2020? Even if we don't explore all the options, will it get done before 2020? ;-)
