A Content-Based Load Balancing Algorithm for Metadata Servers in Cluster File Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A metadata service is one of the important factors to affect the performance of cluster file systems. We propose a content-based load balancing algorithm that dynamically distributes client requests to appropriate metadata servers based on the types of metadata operations. By replicating metadata and logging update messages in each server rather than moving metadata across servers, we significantly reduce the response time and evenly distribute client requests among metadata servers.

Load Balancing Approaches for Web Servers: A Survey of Recent Trends
Numerous works has been done for load balancing of web servers in grid environment. Reason behinds popularity of grid environment is to allow accessing distributed resources which are located at remote locations. For effective utilization, load must be balanced among all resources. Importance of load balancing is discussed by distinguishing the system between without load balancing and with loa...

Distributed file systems in clouds such as GFS(Google File System) and HDFS(Hadoop Distributed file systems) rely on central servers to manage the metadata and the load balancing. DFS are keys building block for cloud computing application based on the reduce programming. In this file system node at the same time provide computing and storage functions, a file dived into a number of parts alloc...
