FILE TRANSFER TO A DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM

摘要

A file storage system to receive a file from a client device includes a determination module to determine a primary set of virtual segments from amongst a plurality of virtual segments of the file to be received from the client device. Each of the plurality of virtual segments is a logical portion of the file. The file storage system further includes a receiving module to establish a secure connection and a plurality of file transfer protocol connections corresponding to the secure connection, with the client device, to receive the primary set of virtual segments from the client device. The receiving module further receives, in parallel, the primary set of virtual segments from the client device for storage, through the plurality of file transfer protocol connections.

1. A client device to transfer a file to a distributed file system, the client device comprising:
a processor; a segmentation module coupled to the processor to segment the file into a plurality of virtual segments, to be stored onto a plurality of data nodes of the distributed file system, wherein at least one virtual segment from amongst the plurality of virtual segments is to be stored onto a data node from amongst the plurality of data nodes; a communication module coupled to the processor to receive a plurality of secure connection requests and at least one file transfer protocol connection request corresponding to each of the plurality of secure connection requests, from the plurality of data nodes, to transfer the plurality of virtual segments to the plurality of data nodes; and a transferring module coupled to the processor to transfer the plurality of virtual segments to the plurality of data nodes of the distributed file system through the plurality of secure connections, in parallel, wherein a virtual segment from amongst the plurality of virtual segments is transferred to a data node from amongst the plurality of data nodes through a respective file transfer protocol connection.
