Jiangang Zhang · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2008
File system metadata requests may make up over 50% of all file system operations, which should be of critical importance in large scale distributed file system. This paper designs a metadata server cluster, named BWMMS, to provide metadata service in Blue Whale1000 network storage system. Due to its dynamic, logical and impartial rules, BWMMS can provide low latency and high scalability metadata services to system uses.
