Abstract
A device comprises a receiver configured to receive a join-lookup remote procedural call (RPC) for a file, wherein the join-lookup RPC requests a join operation of sub-files associated with the file, and a transmitter configured to transmit the file in response to the Join-Lookup RPC. A distributed file system (DFS) client comprises a transmitter configured to transmit a join-lookup RPC for a file, wherein the join-lookup RPC requests a join operation of sub-files associated with the file, and a receiver configured to receive the file in response to the Join-Lookup RPC. A method comprises receiving a join-lookup RPC for a file, wherein the join-lookup RPC requests a join operation of sub-files associated with the file, and transmitting the file in response to the Join-Lookup RPC.
