technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to data processing technology, in particular to a file processing method and device in a distributed file system (Distributed File System, DFS for short). Background technique
[0002] The storage system of the distributed file system can effectively meet the storage of massive data content of Internet business. Taking Google's distributed file system (Google File System, referred to as: GFS) as an example, the GFS cluster consists of a metadata server (master node) and multiple block servers (chunk servers).
