  • Techniques for clustering compute nodes in distributed storage
    Patent number: 11221799
    Abstract: A distributed storage system. The distributed storage system includes a plurality of storage nodes (DNodes), wherein the DNodes are configured to store a plurality of elements and a plurality of data blocks, wherein each element is a persistent metadata structure, wherein at least one of the elements store at least one attribute, wherein the at least one attribute includes a plurality of pointers; and a plurality of compute nodes (CNodes), wherein each CNode has access to each of the DNodes, wherein each CNode is assigned to a respective at least one cluster of a plurality of clusters, wherein each CNode is configured to receive at least a portion of access commands directed to the respective at least one cluster and to execute the received access commands based on the plurality of elements.
