ChubaoFS is a unified distributed filesystem for small files and large files.
-
key-file data model, i.e., namespaceless, or hierachical namespace
-
unlimited scalability of both metadata and data
-
strong consistency
-
append-only or random writes
ChubaoFS has been built and deployed in production since 2013.
metadata partition: inode range
data partition: two storage engines: tiny file chunks, extents; one replication protocol
It consists of several components:
-
the cluster master. single raft replication
-
metanode. multi-raft replication, a meta partition (inode range) per raft
-
datanode. de-clustering of data partitions, replicated via a simple but efficient consistent replication protocol
