Abstract: Systems and methods that allow operators to configure how files and directories are placed within file system views into a storage system, and how these configured file placements are performed by the distributed system. Possible features include a mechanism by which the desired placement of files and directories can be specified, a mechanism by which the placement goals can be realized in a given topology of a distributed system, and a mechanism by which changes to the placement of objects can applied retroactively. The disclosed embodiments may be able to scale to managing hundreds of billions of files spanning thousands of file system views, especially in the presence of disconnected operation.

Abstract: A system can apply file placement rules to dynamically place files and directories within file system views backed by objects in an object storage system. After detection of an update to a first file system view that causes an update of an object in a storage grid, an object manager begins evaluation of file placement rules against metadata of the object. For each file placement rule that is triggered, the object manager determines identifies gateways that export the first file system view. The object manager then instructs the gateways to update their representations of the first file system view. The disclosed embodiments may be able to scale to managing hundreds of billions of files spanning thousands of file system views, especially in the presence of disconnected operation.
