Abstract

The embodiments relate to assigning data to processors of a file system. Metadata associated with respective blocks of data, and an initial batch of the blocks is assigned to nodes of a file system based on the metadata. Unassigned blocks are selectively assigned to one or more of the nodes. The selective assignment includes constructing a linear regression model based on node data, and determining a value for each node based on the linear regression model. Each value is associated with a predicted load corresponding to a new assignment of one or more unassigned blocks.
