Abstract
Apparatus, methods, and other embodiments associated with reducing metadata controller communication volume are described. One example apparatus produces tracking data by tracking metadata controller communications and then controls which of two different types of metadata controller communication message types are used for metadata controller communications based, at least in part, on the tracking data. One message type provides actual state and/or location information about a metadata controller. A second message type provides only information about the state and/or location information available at a metadata controller. Selectively using the second message type facilitates reducing metadata controller communication volume.
