Abstract

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include receiving from a plurality of data nodes of a distributed file system an indication of whether a fault condition exists with respect to a storage resource of the respective data node. The method may also include receiving an input/output request for a storage resource of a particular data node from a host information handling system communicatively coupled to the distributed file system. The method may further include, responsive to the input/output request, directing the input/output request to the particular data node if no fault condition exists with respect to storage resources of the particular data node and directing the input/output request to another data node of the distributed file system if a fault condition exists with respect to one or more storage resources of the particular data node.

Claims (31)

1. A method comprising:

receiving from a plurality of data nodes of a Hadoop distributed file system an indication of whether a fault condition exists with respect to a storage resource of the respective data node;

receiving an input/output request for a storage resource of a particular data node from a host information handling system communicatively coupled to the Hadoop distributed file system; and

responsive to the input/output request:

directing the input/output request to the particular data node if no fault condition exists with respect to storage resources of the particular data node; and

directing the input/output request to another data node of the Hadoop distributed file system if a fault condition exists with respect to one or more storage resources of the particular data node.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input/output request comprises a read request.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the input/output request comprises a write request.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fault condition comprises a disk failure associated with the storage resource.

5. An information handling system comprising:

a processor; and

a computer-readable medium having stored thereon a program of instructions configured to, when read and executed by the processor:

receive from a plurality of data nodes of a Hadoop distributed file system an indication of whether a fault condition exists with respect to a storage resource of the respective data node;

receive an input/output request for a storage resource of a particular data node from a host information handling system communicatively coupled to the Hadoop distributed file system; and

responsive to the input/output request:

direct the input/output request to the particular data node if no fault condition exists with respect to storage resources of the particular data node; and

direct the input/output request to another data node of the Hadoop distributed file system if a fault condition exists with respect to one or more storage resources of the particular data node.

6. The information handling system of claim 5 , wherein the input/output request comprises a read request.

7. The information handling system of claim 5 , wherein the input/output request comprises a write request.

8. The information handling system of claim 5 , wherein the fault condition comprises a disk failure associated with the storage resource.

9. An article of manufacture comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium; and

computer-executable instructions carried on the computer readable medium, the instructions readable by a processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to:

receive from a plurality of data nodes of a Hadoop distributed file system an indication of whether a fault condition exists with respect to a storage resource of the respective data node;

receive an input/output request for a storage resource of a particular data node from a host information handling system communicatively coupled to the Hadoop distributed file system; and

responsive to the input/output request:

direct the input/output request to the particular data node if no fault condition exists with respect to storage resources of the particular data node; and

direct the input/output request to another data node of the Hadoop distributed file system if a fault condition exists with respect to one or more storage resources of the particular data node.

10. The article of claim 9 , wherein the input/output request comprises a read request.

11. The article of claim 9 , wherein the input/output request comprises a write request.

12. The article of claim 9 , wherein the fault condition comprises a disk failure associated with the storage resource.
