maintain sessions only when needed, and maintain those sessions with only
particular Ceph OSD daemons, not with a centralized interface.
-#. **OSD Membership and Status**: Ceph OSD Daemons join a cluster and report
- on their status. At the lowest level, the Ceph OSD Daemon status is ``up``
- or ``down`` reflecting whether or not it is running and able to service
- Ceph Client requests. If a Ceph OSD Daemon is ``down`` and ``in`` the Ceph
- Storage Cluster, this status may indicate the failure of the Ceph OSD
- Daemon. If a Ceph OSD Daemon is not running (e.g., it crashes), the Ceph OSD
- Daemon cannot notify the Ceph Monitor that it is ``down``. The OSDs
- periodically send messages to the Ceph Monitor (``MPGStats`` pre-luminous,
- and a new ``MOSDBeacon`` in luminous). If the Ceph Monitor doesn't see that
- message after a configurable period of time then it marks the OSD down.
- This mechanism is a failsafe, however. Normally, Ceph OSD Daemons will
- determine if a neighboring OSD is down and report it to the Ceph Monitors.
- This assures that Ceph Monitors are lightweight processes. See `Monitoring
- OSDs`_ and `Heartbeats`_ for additional details.

Ceph OSD Daemons can scrub objects. That is, Ceph OSD Daemons can compare
