Graffiti: A Framework for Testing Collaborative Distributed File System Metadata
نویسندگان
چکیده
Managing storage in the face of relentless growth in the number and variety of files on storage systems creates demand for rich file system metadata as is made evident by the recent emergence of rich metadata support in many applications as well as file systems. Yet, little support exists for sharing metadata across file systems even though it is not uncommon for users to manage multiple file systems and to frequently share copies of files across devices and with other users. Encouraged by the surge in popularity for collaborative bookmarking sites that share the burden of creating metadata for online content [21] we present Graffiti, a distributed organization layer for collaboratively sharing rich metadata across heterogeneous file systems. The primary purpose of Graffiti is to provide a research and rapid prototyping platform for managing metadata across file systems and users.

Graffiti: A Framework for Testing Collaborative Distributed Metadata
The growth in metadata has been triggered by two key catalyzing events. The first is the explosive growth in storage size and storage demands. As the number and variety of files grows the need for metadata to organize this information windfall becomes more critical. An example of this need for metadata can be seen in music collections where filenames and folders alone are not sufficient to orga...
