technical field
[0001] The invention relates to computer security technology, in particular to a light-weight autonomous block management method of a data-intensive file system. Background technique
[0002] Data-intensive file system DiFS, such as Google File System GFS, Hadoop Distributed File System HDFS, etc., has become the main file system for big data storage management. The current data-intensive file system DiFS adopts a master-slave architecture. The master node (metadata server) manages all metadata, and the slave node (data storage node) is only responsible for data storage. In order to maintain high availability, these storage systems usually divide data files into blocks of fixed size, each data block usually has 3 copies, and distribute them to different data storage nodes of the cluster. The master node must record the addresses of hundreds or thousands of data storage nodes, as well as record the mapping information from the data blocks of all data files to...
