    摘要: An embodiment of a method of hashing an address space to a plurality of storage servers begins with a first step of dividing the address space by a number of the storage servers to form data segments. Each data segment comprises a base address. A second step assigns the data segments to the storage servers according to a sequence. The method continues with a third step of measuring a load on each of the storage servers. According to an embodiment, the method concludes with a fourth step of adjusting data shares assigned to the storage servers according to the sequence to approximately balances the loads on the storage servers while maintaining the base address for each data segment on an originally assigned storage server. According to another embodiment, the method periodically performs the third and fourth steps to maintain an approximately balanced load on the storage servers.

    摘要: An embodiment of a method of caching data writes data units into a write cache for eventual flushing to storage. The method sets a copy-to-read-cache flag for each particular data unit that is read from the write cache. Upon flushing each data unit to the storage, the method copies the data unit to a read cache if the flag for the data unit is set. Another embodiment of a method of caching data writes data units into a write cache. The method simulates a transfer policy for copying the data units from the write cache to a read cache to determine a performance indicator for the transfer policy. Upon flushing each data unit, the method copies the data unit to the read cache if the performance indicator exceeds a threshold and the transfer policy includes copying the data unit into the read cache.

    摘要: An embodiment of a method of cooperative caching for a distributed storage system begins with a step of requesting data from storage devices which hold the data. The method continues with a step of receiving any cached blocks and expected response times for providing non-cached blocks from the storage devices. The method concludes with a step of requesting a sufficient number of the non-cached blocks from one or more particular storage devices which provides an expectation of optimal performance.
