ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses apparatus and process in which data files are distributed across a large scale data processing system to enable balance of work loads and storage loads at a plurality of nodes. Specifically, the invention provides significant advances in data base management by distributing meta-data in a plurality of file storage nodes to isolatively and distributively store file data in a distributed computing environment. This provides efficient allocation of storage space and work loads among nodes.
