Follow-up Operations

After the closed-source KSAL package is installed, if you need to enable the KSAL EC algorithm in Ceph, deploy a Ceph cluster and enable the KSAL EC algorithm by referring to Compiling and Deploying Ceph. If you need to directly invoke the KSAL to optimize the system performance, you can skip Compiling and Deploying Ceph and refer to KSAL Development Reference.
