Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide methods, mediums, and systems for efficiently moving data between cluster nodes. Upon receiving a request to read or write data at a first cluster node that is in communication with a client, the first node effects the transfer to or from a second cluster node. The transfer is carried out using a combination of remote data memory access (“RDMA”), or a similar technique that bypasses a part of the network stack, and transport control protocol (“TCP”), or a similar technique that does not bypass a part of the network stack. The data is transferred using RDMA, while certain control messages are sent using TCP. By combining RDMA content transfers and TCP control messages, data transfers can be carried out faster, more efficiently, and with less processing overhead. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract translation: 示例性实施例提供用于在集群节点之间有效移动数据的方法，介质和系统。 在接收到与客户端通信的第一集群节点读取或写入数据的请求时，第一节点影响到第二集群节点的传输或从第二集群节点传送数据。 使用远程数据存储器访问（“RDMA”）或绕过网络堆栈的一部分的类似技术以及传输控制协议（“TCP”）或不绕过的类似技术来进行传送 网络堆栈的一部分。 使用RDMA传输数据，而使用TCP发送某些控制消息。 通过组合RDMA内容传输和TCP控制消息，可以更快，更有效地执行数据传输，并以较少的处理开销进行数据传输。 描述和要求保护其他实施例。
