Data management method for distributed storage system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11966305B2) discloses a data processing method for a distributed storage system involving a master control server, a slave control server, and multiple storage servers. The method, executed by the slave control server, includes transmitting requests to acquire data copy information from storage servers, updating mapping data based on the received information, and establishing a correspondence relationship between the data copy information and the storage servers. Additionally, the method involves detecting the unavailability of the master control server and adjusting the data processing accordingly.
Furthermore, the patent describes a data processing device within the slave control server of the distributed storage system. This device includes a processor and memory storing executable instructions for transmitting requests for data copy information, updating mapping data, and replacing the master control server if necessary. The device aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of data processing in distributed storage systems by ensuring accurate mapping data and seamless control service provision. Overall, the patented technology offers a systematic approach to managing data in distributed storage systems, improving data organization and system functionality.
