The Management Strategy of Metadata in Large-scale Network Storage System

The wan Internet storage system based on Distributed Hash Table uses fully distributed data and metadata management, and constructs an extensible and efficient mass storage system for the application based on Internet. However, such systems work in highly dynamic environments, and the frequent entry and exit of nodes will lead to huge communication costs. Therefore, this paper proposes a new hierarchical metadata routing management mechanism based on DHT, which makes full use of the node stabilization point to reduce the maintenance overhead of the overlay. Analysis shows that the algorithm can effectively improve efficiency and enhance stability.
