Abstract:
Methods and systems for load balancing in a cluster storage system are disclosed herein. The method includes identifying a source node within the cluster storage system from which to move a number of data objects, wherein the source node includes a node with a total load exceeding a threshold value. The method also includes selecting the data objects to move from the source node, wherein the data objects are chosen such that the total load of the source node no longer exceeds the threshold value. The method further includes determining a target node within the cluster storage system based on a proximity to the source node and the total load of the target node and moving the data objects from the source node to the target node.
