ABSTRACT

Existing metadata management methods bring about lower access efficiency in solving the problem of renaming directory. This paper proposes a metadata management method based on directory path redirection (named as DPRD) which includes the data distribution method based on directory path and the directory renaming method based on directory path redirection. Experiments show that DPRD effectively solves the lower access efficiency caused by the renaming directory.
