METADATA REPORTING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND DEVICE AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The present application relates to the technical field of data processing. Provided are a metadata reporting method and apparatus, and a device and a storage medium. The method comprises: determining a corresponding load balanced allocation mode according to a magnitude relationship between the total number of ES services in an ES cluster and the total number of MDSs in a distributed file system; and allocating an ES service to each of the MDSs according to the load balanced allocation mode, and generating configuration information on the basis of the allocation result, such that the MDS performs metadata reporting for the allocated candidate ES service according to the configuration information. By means of balancing, MDSs are connected to different ESs, such that the MDSs realize, by means of load balancing, balance of pressure of metadata reporting according to conditions such as the number of ESs, that is, ES load balancing is realized, thereby exerting reporting performance to the maximum extent.
