MECHANISM FOR A WORK NODE SCAN PROCESS TO FACILITATE CLUSTER SCALING

摘要

A method and system that perform cluster node work assignments for tenants in a multi-tenant system. The method includes selecting a partition of a cluster tenant tracking structure having a hierarchical namespace and virtual nodes representing each tenant by a cluster node foreman controller, searching the selected partition for a tenant that is unlocked in the cluster tenant tracking structure, and initiating work for the tenant by the cluster node.
