Abstract

Systems and techniques for a distributed file system element collection are described herein. A node may identify a state of a file system element, which is identified in a file system element definition, from a local data store. The state corresponds to a distribution action. The file system element definition is one of a plurality of file system element definitions in a collection schema of a collection to which the node is a member. The node may, in response to identifying the state of the file system element, issue a communication to some members of the collection in furtherance of completion of the distribution action. A response may be received by the node from a participant node in the list of participant nodes. The node may complete the distribution action using content from the response.
