Abstract
A method for adjusting roles of nodes in a distributed clustered file system can include receiving a first computation operation and profiling the first computation operation according to one or more metrics. The method can also include determining, based on the profiling of the first computation operation, a first file system attribute of the first computation operation. The method can also include identifying that the first computation operation serves a first file system role and identifying a first hardware characteristic of hardware on which a first node of a plurality of nodes is hosted. The method can also include receiving an identification that the first node can utilize additional computation of the first file system role and instantiating a virtualization unit on the first node.
