  • Publication number: 20140330781
    Abstract: A system and method for parallel file system traversal using multiple job executors is disclosed. The system includes a pool of job executors, a job queue, and a trigger tracker. An object, representative of a node in the filesystem, is added (i.e., pushed) to the job queue for processing by an job executor. The job queue assigns (i.e., pops) objects to job executors in accordance to a LIFO (Last In First Out) ordering. Then the job executor performs an action such as copy. In one embodiment, the trigger tracker follows the processing of a child nodes to a particular child node. Thus, the filesystem is being traversed by several job executors at the same time.
