Fragmented ARES: Dynamic Storage for Large Objects

Authors: Chryssis Georgiou, Nicolas Nicolaou, and Andria Trigeorgi

Abstract

Data availability is one of the most important features in distributed storage systems, made possible by data replication. Nowadays data are generated rapidly and developing efficient, scalable and reliable storage systems has become one of the major challenges for high performance computing. In this work, we develop and prove correct a dynamic, robust and strongly consistent distributed shared memory suitable for handling large objects (such as files) and utilizing erasure coding. We do so by integrating an Adaptive, Reconfigurable, Atomic memory framework, called Ares, with the CoBFS framework, which relies on a block fragmentation technique to handle large objects. With the addition of Ares, we also enable the use of an erasure-coded algorithm to further split the data and to potentially improve storage efficiency at the replica servers and operation latency. Our development is complemented with an in-depth experimental evaluation on the Emulab and AWS EC2 testbeds, illustrating the benefits of our approach, as well as interesting tradeoffs.
