Abstract
Managing lock coordinator rebalance in distributed file systems is provided herein. A node device of a cluster of node devices can comprise a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can comprise determining an occurrence of a group change between a cluster of node devices and executing a probe function based on the occurrence of the group change. Further, the operations can comprise reasserting first locks of a group of locks based on a result of the probe function indicating reassertion of the first locks. The second locks of the group of locks, other than the first locks, are not reasserted based on the result of the probe function. The cluster of node devices can operate as a distributed file system.
