Enhanced application write performance

1. A method for enhanced application write operations, the method comprising:

performing a write operation by an application node;

committing the write operation to a local buffer cache;

sending the application node an indication that the write operation was successful;

flushing the local buffer cache to a disk;

sending a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to a gateway node;

generating a combined RPC based on combining one or more writes on the local buffer cache; and

sending the generated combined RPC to the gateway node.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the write by the application node further comprises:

a primary fileset on a primary cluster and a secondary fileset on a secondary cluster,

wherein the write is performed by the application node on the primary fileset on the primary cluster and the write is replicated to the secondary fileset on the secondary cluster.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein committing the write to the local buffer cache further comprises:

storing the write in a buffer cache queue.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein sending the application node the indication that the write operation was successful further comprises:

returning an indication of success to the application node.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein flushing the local buffer cache to the disk is based on a buffer flush trigger, wherein the buffer flush trigger is selected from the group consisting of a full buffer cache, a time threshold, and a plurality of transferred data required by a receiving node.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disk is located on a node in the cluster, and wherein flushing the local buffer cache to the disk further comprises:

committing the write to the disk located on the node in the cluster.

7. A computer system for enhanced application write operations, comprising:

one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:

performing a write operation by an application node;

committing the write operation to a local buffer cache;

sending the application node an indication that the write operation was successful;

flushing the local buffer cache to a disk;

sending a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to a gateway node;

generating a combined RPC based on combining one or more writes on the local buffer cache; and

sending the generated combined RPC to the gateway node.

8. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein performing the write by the application node further comprises:

a primary fileset on a primary cluster and a secondary fileset on a secondary cluster,

wherein the write is performed by the application node on the primary fileset on the primary cluster and the write is replicated to the secondary fileset on the secondary cluster.

9. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein committing the write to the local buffer cache further comprises:

storing the write in a buffer cache queue.

10. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein sending the application node the indication that the write operation was successful further comprises:

returning an indication of success to the application node.

11. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein flushing the local buffer cache to the disk is based on a buffer flush trigger, wherein the buffer flush trigger is selected from the group consisting of a full buffer cache, a time threshold, and a plurality of transferred data required by a receiving node.

12. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the disk is located on a node in the cluster, and wherein flushing the local buffer cache to the disk further comprises:

committing the write to the disk located on the node in the cluster.

13. A computer program product for enhanced application write operations, comprising:

one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage media, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

performing a write operation by an application node;

committing the write operation to a local buffer cache;

sending the application node an indication that the write operation was successful;

flushing the local buffer cache to a disk;

sending a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to a gateway node;

generating a combined RPC based on combining one or more writes on the local buffer cache; and

sending the generated combined RPC to the gateway node.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein performing the write by the application node further comprises:

a primary fileset on a primary cluster and a secondary fileset on a secondary cluster,

wherein the write is performed by the application node on the primary fileset on the primary cluster and the write is replicated to the secondary fileset on the secondary cluster.

15. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein committing the write to the local buffer cache further comprises:

storing the write in a buffer cache queue.

16. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein flushing the local buffer cache to the disk is based on a buffer flush trigger, wherein the buffer flush trigger is selected from the group consisting of a full buffer cache, a time threshold, and a plurality of transferred data required by a receiving node.

17. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the disk is located on a node in the cluster, and wherein flushing the local buffer cache to the disk further comprises:

committing the write to the disk located on the node in the cluster.
