Another option would be to move to HDFS. HopsFS, a new distribution, can scale to over 1m ops/sec: http://www.logicalclocks.com/index.php/2016/10/14/hops-smash...

As someone who has run Hdfs in production on bare metal, I wonder how much you dislik gitlab...

TL;DR - HDFS is rarely the answer, mainly due to pains usually involving crashed nameservers.

HopsFS has multiple redundant, stateless NameNodes.
