PROGRAMMATICALLY CHOOSING PREFERRED STORAGE PARAMETERS FOR FILES IN LARGE-SCALE DISTRIBUTED STORAGE SYSTEMS

摘要

Methods to determine and automatically recommend or adjust configuration parameters for storing files in large-scale distributed storage systems are disclosed. These methods may receive file metadata and trace data that allows the system to identify file access patterns. Additionally, the methods may receive information about distributed storage systems in a datacenter. This information can be used to choose storage parameters on a per-file basis for storing files.
