Abstract
In some examples, a first computing device may receive, from a second computing device, partition mapping information indicating partitions of a metadata database. The first computing device may be able to communicate with a plurality of metadata nodes, each metadata node maintaining a portion of the metadata database based on the partitioning of the metadata database to distribute the metadata database across the plurality of metadata nodes. The first computing device may determine to send a request to the metadata database based at least on key information. The first computing device may determine, based on the partition mapping information, a first metadata node of the plurality of metadata nodes indicated to maintain a partition of the metadata database corresponding to the key information. The first computing device, may send, to the first metadata node, based on the partition mapping information, a request to perform a database operation.
