Abstract

The disclosed embodiments provide a task scheduling method and apparatus. Network resources needed for a task to perform cross-cluster reading and writing are analyzed to obtain usage information of the occupied network resources for reading and writing; and the task is scheduled according to the usage information of the network resources needed for reading and writing. Because the usage information of the network resources occupied for reading and writing respectively represent network resources that can be saved by the cluster where access data is located when the task is scheduled for reading and writing, it can be determined that the cluster to which the task is scheduled can enable the task to occupy less network resources, thereby solving the problem of high bandwidth usage across clusters in current systems.
