Object-based distributed index method and client

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose an object-based distributed index method, and a client. The method comprises that: the client obtains content and names of to-be-stored objects; the client performs normalization processing on the names of the to-be-stored objects to obtain a first normalization result; the client obtains the key of the idle OSD in the OSD cluster through the interface, and stores the first normalization result, the names, the content, and the key of the idle OSD into the idle OSD through the interface, so as to generate a new node; through the interface, the client queries that the distributed index is stored with a back node of a second normalization result which is greater than the first normalization result and a front node of a third normalization result which is smaller than the first normalization result; and the client constructs a pointer in the new node, sets the pointer of the new node to the key of the back node, and sets the pointer of the front node to the key of the new node. According to the embodiments of the present invention, the keys of the objects are scattered in the distributed index by using the pointer, and by querying the distributed index to locate the objects, the difficulty of deployment and maintenance can be reduced.

Benefits of technology

The technical effect that this technology allows clients on an operating system (OS) hosted within one or more servers to locate objects quickly without having them relocated when they are needed again. This reduces downtime during installation and maintainations.

Problems solved by technology

This patents describes an issue where large amounts of data may require more memory capacity due to increased demand on disk drive devices or other computer systems. To overcome these issues, it suggests storing smaller groups of related files together instead of individually accessing them separately by defaulting certain attributes like file names based upon their location within the group's own hierarchy. Additionally, there have been proposals involving setting specifications for how clients should retrieve relevant content from different servers depending on its desired destination without having to directly search over all possible configurations provided by the underlying operating system itself.
