Abstract :
Searching and managing information are becoming increasingly important for large distributed storage systems. This paper presents a metadata management mechanism named CBMM, which is based on the Chord protocol to organize the metadata server cluster. Utilizing the advantages of Chord protocol for distributing metadata across a cluster of metadata servers can highly improve the throughput, balance metadata distribution, and afford dynamic scalability of metadata servers.
