Load-Balance Policy in Two Level-Cluster File System

摘要

In this paper, we explored a load-balancing algorithm in a cluster file system contains two levels of metadata-server, primary-level server quickly distributestasks to second-level servers depending on the closest load-balancing information. At the same time, we explored a method which accurately reflect I/O traffic and storage of storage-node: computing the heat-value of file, according to which we realized a more logical storage allocation. According to the experiment result, we conclude that thisnew algorithm shortens the executing time of tasks and improves the system performance compared with other load algorithm.
