The disclosed embodiments disclose techniques for managing a global namespace for a distributed filesystem. Two or more cloud controllers collectively manage distributed filesystem data that is stored in a cloud storage system; the cloud controllers ensure data consistency for the stored data, and each cloud controller caches portions of the distributed filesystem. Furthermore, a global namespace for the distributed filesystem is also split across these cloud controllers, with each cloud controller “owning” (e.g., managing write accesses for) a distinct portion of the global namespace and maintaining a set of namespace mappings that indicate which portion of the namespace is assigned to each cloud controller. During operation, an initial cloud controller receives a request from a client system to access a target file in the distributed system. This initial cloud controller uses the namespace mappings for the global namespace to determine a preferred cloud controller that will handle the request.

The present invention relates to methods and systems of snapshot management of a file system in a data storage system. To represent the snapshots, the invention maintains pointers to the root block pointer of each snapshot. When the active file system is modified, this invention avoids overwriting any blocks used by previous snapshots by allocating new blocks for the modified blocks. When the invention needs to put an established block in a new location, it must update a parent block to point to the new location. The update to the parent block may then require allocating a new block for the new parent block and so forth. Parts of the file system not modified since a snapshot remain in place. The amount of space required to represent snapshots scales with the fraction of the file system that users modify. To maintain snapshot integrity, this invention keeps track of the first and last snapshots that use each block in space map blocks spread throughout the file system data space. When users delete snapshots, this invention may use a background process to find blocks no longer used by any snapshot and makes them available for future use.

Systems and methods for sharing a physical cache among one or more clients in a stream data processing pipeline are described. One embodiment, among others, is directed to a system for sharing caches between two or more clients. The system comprises a physical cache memory having a memory portion accessed through a cache index. The system further comprises at least two virtual cache spaces mapping to the memory portion and at least one virtual cache controller configured to perform a hit-miss test on the active window of the virtual cache space in response to a request from one of the clients for accessing the physical cache memory. In accordance with some embodiments, each of the virtual cache spaces has an active window which has a different size than the memory portion. Furthermore, data is accessed from the corresponding location of the memory portion when the hit-miss test of the cache index returns a hit.

A computer system having a kernel for mapping virtual memory address space to physical memory address space. The computer system uses a method for performing an input/output operation. A physical memory buffer is registered with a subsystem, and the physical memory buffer is associated with a first virtual address, a size and a key. The physical memory buffer is dynamically associated with a second virtual address which is different from the first virtual address. As part of an application program an input/output operation is requested regarding the second virtual address. An application table is used to obtain the first virtual address, the key and the size. The first virtual address, the key and the size are supplied to the subsystem. The subsystem uses the first virtual address, the key and the size, to determine the physical memory buffer and performs an input/output operation using the physical memory buffer without intervention of the kernel.
