@Ponnuvel, thanks for testing. I've pushed the changes to the
ubuntu/groovy package branch and will ask James to +1 before we upload
to groovy. If this is low risk we can consider backporting via SRU.

Title:
  Building Ceph packages with RelWithDebInfo

Status in ceph package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This is to consider/discuss the possibility of whether the Ceph
  packages (UCA) should be built with RelWithDebInfo build option
  (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE [0]) which can be supplied to the build script
  do_cmake.sh [1].

  Currently, Upstream as well as UCA builds default to 'Debug' [0]
  builds. But is any reason why shouldn't go for RelWithDebInfo (i.e.
  "Release with Debug information")?

  
  There's one issue noted with RelWithDebInfo which has a workaround too [2].

  In general, gcc's -O2 [3] build should generate better code as well as
  there's a specific case for Ceph [4] that it improves performance.
