ABSTRACT:
A client node of a distributed storage system adaptive determines on an operation-by-operation basis whether to process a network-RAID IO operation (IO request) locally at the client node or to forward the IO request to a storage server of the system for processing. The client node determines to process the requested network-RAID operation at the client node when a local estimator for a type of the requested network-RAID operation is less than a central estimator for the type of the requested network-RAID operation. Otherwise, the client node determines to process the requested network-RAID operation at a storage server when the local estimator for the type of the requested network-RAID operation is greater than the central estimator for the type of the requested network-RAID operation.
