Rebalance multiple files in parallel 2. Crawl only bricks that belong to the current node Brief design explanation for the above two points. 1. Rebalance multiple files in parallel: ------------------------------------- The existing rebalance engine is single threaded. Hence, introduced multiple threads which will be running parallel to the crawler. The current rebalance migration is converted to a "Producer-Consumer" frame work. Where Producer is : Crawler Consumer is : Migrating Threads Crawler: Crawler is the main thread. The job of the crawler is now limited to fix-layout of each directory and add the files which are eligible for the migration to a global queue in a round robin manner so that we will use all the disk resources efficiently. Hence, the crawler will not be "blocked" by migration process. Producer: Producer will monitor the global queue. If any file is added to this queue, it will dqueue that entry and migrate the file. Currently 20 migration threads are spawned at the beginning of the rebalance process. Hence, multiple file migration happens in parallel. 2. Crawl only bricks that belong to the current node: -------------------------------------------------- As rebalance process is spawned per node, it migrates only the files that belongs to it's own node for the sake of load balancing. But it also reads entries from the whole cluster, which is not necessary as readdir hits other nodes. New Design: As part of the new design the rebalancer decides the subvols that are local to the rebalancer node by checking the node-uuid of root directory prior to the crawler starts. Hence, readdir won't hit the whole cluster as it has already the context of local subvols and also node-uuid request for each file can be avoided. This makes the rebalance process "more scalable".
