Abstract

Techniques to process metadata involve: in response to receiving a modification transaction for metadata on a computing device, acquiring information related to a busyness degree of the computing device; and according to at least a determination that the busyness degree is greater than a threshold degree, modifying the metadata in a metadata storage apparatus of the computing device directly without generating a log related to the modification transaction in a log storage apparatus of the computing device. Accordingly, such techniques can achieve good processing performance irrespective of a busy state or non-busy state of a computing device. In particular, when the computing device is in a busy state, a newly triggered modification transaction can still be timely executed, thereby improving IOPS performance of the computing device in a busy state.
