A digital library architecture supporting massive small files and efficient replica maintenance
Chunhui Shen, Weiming Lü, Jiangqin Wu, Baogang Wei · 2010
In this paper, we presented a service infrastructure based on distributed file system for massive storage in digital library. In addition, we addressed the small-file problem by merging small files into big ones, and proposed a novel dynamic replica number adjustment scheme to ensure the maximal availability and reliability in a limited storage space.
