Abstract

Accelerated behavior change for upgrades in a distributed system is described herein. A method as described herein can include facilitating a file system upgrade of a first computing node of a computing cluster from a first file system version to a second file system version that is newer than the first file system version, wherein the file system upgrade comprises pre-restart operations and a system restart performed subsequent to the pre-restart operations; activating a supervisor system of the first computing node in response to the first computing node completing the file system upgrade; and causing, in response to the activating, the supervisor system of the first computing node to initiate concurrent performance of the pre-restart operations of the file system upgrade at second computing nodes of the computing cluster, distinct from the first computing node.
