Abstract:
Metadata structures and related locking techniques to improve performance and scalability in a cluster file system are disclosed. In one implementation, a method includes receiving, by a server, a request for a first file, retrieving, by the server, the first file and metadata for a second file that is related to the first file, and sending, by the server in response to the retrieving and in advance of any request for the metadata for the second file, an asynchronous lock request to obtain a lock for accessing at least a portion of the metadata for the second file.
