  • FILE SYSTEM MODE SWITCHING IN A DISTRIBUTED STORAGE SERVICE
    Publication number: 20170277715
    Abstract: A distributed file storage services (DFSS) that provides low latency (LL) and high throughput (HT) modes for file systems. A HT metadata subsystem (HTMS) may use a distributed transaction system for data and metadata reads and writes for file systems in HT mode. A LL metadata subsystem (LLMS) may process metadata requests for file systems in LL mode. For metadata read requests, the LLMS may locally cache at least some of the file system metadata. For metadata write requests, the LLMS may write entries to a journal and notify the access node after the entries are committed to the journal. Data reads and writes for file systems in LL mode may be handled similarly to data reads and writes for file systems in HT mode. A file system may be converted from LL to HT mode, or from HT to LL mode.
