The research and implementation of metadata cache backup technology based on CEPH file system
Zhan Ling, Xieyun Fang, Daping Li · 2016
Based on research and analysis of the Ceph file system, the log cache backup scheme is proposed. The log cache backup scheme reduces metadata access delays by caching logs and reducing the time of storing logs to server clusters. In order to prevent the loss of cached data in metadata servers, a cached data backup scheme is proposed. Compared to the metadata management subsystem of the Ceph, the log cache backup scheme can effectively improve the access performance of metadata. Finally, based on open source codes of the Ceph file system, the log cache backup scheme is implemented. Compared to the performance of the Ceph metadata management subsystem, experiment results show that performance improvements of the log cache backup scheme are up to 11.5%.
