Abstract
A storage system. The storage system includes a plurality of storage nodes (DNodes), wherein the DNodes are configured to store a plurality of elements and a plurality of data blocks, wherein each element is a persistent metadata structure, wherein at least one of the elements store at least one attribute, wherein the at least one attribute includes a plurality of pointers, wherein at least one of the data blocks is stored in at least one of the elements when the at least one of the data blocks has a size below a threshold size; and a plurality of compute nodes (CNodes), wherein each CNode has access to each of the DNodes, wherein each CNode is configured to receive an access command and to execute the access command based on the elements.
