Problems solved by technology

Whether it is file storage or reading, it is necessary to exchange information with the metadata server, and the metadata server is a centralized management mode, and the capacity of the metadata that can be stored or read is limited, which leads to metadata The data server becomes the capacity bottleneck of the distributed file system and cannot support greater expansion
[0005] Therefore, the existing distributed file system relies on a centralized metadata server to determine the route of the data storage node, which limits the greater expansion of the distributed file system

Embodiment Construction

[0020] figure 1 The flowchart of the file processing method in the distributed file system provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention, such as figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0021] Step 101 , the client in the distributed file system receives a file operation request from a user, and the file operation request carries at least file description information and an operation type.

[0022] The client in the distributed file system is different from the client in the traditional sense. The client in the distributed file system can be understood as the interface layer between the distributed file system and the user, and the interface layer is located in the basic management layer ( Including metadata server and data block server) and storage facility layer (storage devices such as local disks, etc.), for applications (such as user generated content (User Generated Content, referred to as: UGC), social network services (Social Networking Services, referred to as ...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device for processing files in a distributed file system. The method includes: receiving a user's file operation request which at least includes file description information and an operation type; determining a meta main node used for storing metadata of the file from all nodes of a metadata server according to the file description information, and forming a distributed hash table network by all nodes of the metadata server; determining a block main node used for storing data block of the file from all nodes of a data block server according to the file description information, and forming a distributed hash table network by all nodes of the data block server; and finishing an operation between the meta main node and the block main node according to the operation type. The device comprises a receiving module, a routing determination module and a processing module. By the method and the device, expansion of the distributed file system and mass file content storage can be effectively achieved.

Description

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). There are periodic heartbeats between chunkservers to communicate with each other, and the heartbeat communicates information and status of the chunkservers. The metadata server is responsible for managing the metadata of the file system of all files. The metadata may include information such as namespace, access control information, mapping relationship between files and blocks, and the location of the current block...
