Abstract

Decades of research on distributed file systems and storage systems exists. New researchers and engineers have a lot of literature to study, but only a comparatively small number of high-level design choices are available when creating a distributed file system. And within each aspect of the system, typically several common approaches are used. So, rather than surveying distributed file systems, this article presents a survey of important design decisions and, within those decisions, the most commonly used options. It also presents a qualitative exploration of their tradeoffs. We include several relatively recent designs and their variations that illustrate other tradeoff choices in the design space, despite being underexplored. In doing so, we provide a primer on distributed file systems, and we also show areas that are overexplored and underexplored, in the hopes of inspiring new research.
分布式文件系统设计选择综述
对分布式文件系统和存储系统的研究已经进行了几十年。新的研究人员和工程师有很多文献要研究,但是在创建分布式文件系统时,只有相对较少的高级设计选择可用。在系统的每个方面,通常使用几种常用方法。因此,本文不是考察分布式文件系统,而是考察重要的设计决策,以及在这些决策中最常用的选项。它还对它们的权衡进行了定性探索。我们包括了几个相对较新的设计和它们的变化,说明了设计空间中的其他权衡选择,尽管尚未得到充分的探索。在这样做的过程中,我们提供了分布式文件系统的入门,我们还展示了被过度探索和未被充分探索的领域,希望能激发新的研究。
