  Abstract

A metadata service is one of the important factors to affect the performance of cluster file systems. We propose a content-based load balancing algorithm that dynamically distributes client requests to appropriate metadata servers based on the types of metadata operations. By replicating metadatas and logging update messages in each server, rather than moving metadatas across servers, we significantly reduced the response time and evenly distributed client's requests among metadata servers.
