Scaling of computing clusters in distributed computing systems

摘要

A currently operating computational cluster having multiple nodes that store cluster data can be scaled. A cluster scaling request to the current cluster may be received that indicates a change in the number or type of nodes in the current cluster. In response to receiving the cluster scaling request, a new cluster can be created as indicated in the cluster scaling request, and a copy of the cluster data from the current cluster to the nodes in the new cluster can be initiated, The network endpoint can be moved to a new cluster and the current cluster can be invalidated. In some embodiments, the current cluster can respond to read access requests while copying cluster data. [Selection] Figure 1
