  • Patent number: 10387255
    Abstract: A data reconstruction method is performed in a distributed storage system. A primary storage node in the distributed storage system performs EC encoding on to-be-written data to generate an EC stripe, and stores, on each storage node, each EC block in the EC stripe. When a fault occurs on some storage nodes and causes a write failure of EC blocks, the primary storage node locally stores an EC block allocated to a storage node to which the write fails and generates metadata information required for data reconstruction. After the storage node recovers from the fault, the primary storage node sends, to the storage node, the stored EC block allocated to the storage node to which the write fails and the metadata information corresponding to the EC block, so that the storage node that recovers from the fault completes the data reconstruction.

  • Patent number: 10133633
    Abstract: A data storage method is used to improve storage consistency of a distributed storage system. The method includes: a primary storage node performs EC coding on a to-be-stored data segment to obtain a target EC stripe; determines in a storage node group to which the primary storage node belongs, m+k target storage nodes used to store m+k target EC blocks of the target EC stripe; sends a preparation message to the target storage nodes; receives a response message sent by a target storage node; and sends an execution message to the target storage nodes to instruct the target storage nodes to write target EC blocks that are in preparation logs.

  • Patent number: 9823970
    Abstract: A data recovery method to improve storage consistency of a distributed storage system includes: receiving a recovery message from a storage node after a fault recovery of the faulty storage node; obtaining N lost erasure coding (EC) blocks of the faulty storage node through computation according to EC blocks stored by non-faulty storage nodes; sequentially sending N lost EC blocks to the faulty storage node for storage. In the process of sequentially sending the N lost EC blocks to the faulty storage node, when it is determined that for a first EC block that is to be stored by the faulty storage node, a second EC block having a same key value as the first EC block exists in the lost EC blocks, after the faulty storage node stores the second EC block, the first EC block is sent to the faulty storage node to store.

  • Publication number: 20160357440
    Abstract: A data distribution method for improving performance of a distributed storage system includes: receiving, by a data distribution apparatus, a storage instruction of a user, dividing to-be-stored data that the storage instruction instructs to store, into P data segments, determining a storage node group corresponding to each data segment, and finally distributing the data segment to a primary node in the corresponding storage node group.
