Performance implications

Enabling container mode will allow the system to scale for number of buckets and accounts supported in the system, as compared to vault mode. The performance characteristics of the system in container mode is expected to be different from the performance characteristics of the system in vault mode. In container mode, there are additional internal system operations needed in order to support significantly larger number of buckets and accounts. These additional internal system operations involve maintaining indices, and maintaining account information in internal vaults. Depending on the number of operations per second, number of objects in a bucket and object overwrite percentage for the system, the performance in container mode could be lower than the performance in vault mode for both operations per second and latency.
