Abstract
Methods and systems for optimizing a number of files stored in a distributed file system are provided. The method includes determining whether the size of a plurality of input files in a directory are less than a block size. The method further includes determining whether the size of the input files in the directory divided by a desired file size is greater than a threshold. Additionally, the method includes combining the collection of input files into a reduced set of files.
Claims20
A method for optimizing a number of files stored in a distributed file system, the method comprising:
- determining whether the size of a plurality of input files in a directory are less than a block size;
- determining whether the size of the input files in the directory divided by a desired file size is greater than a threshold;
- and
- combining the collection of input files into a reduced set of files.
A distributed file system comprising one or more processors which, alone or in combination, are configured to provide for performance of the following steps:
- determining whether the size of input files in a directory are less than a block size;
- determining whether the size of the input files in the directory divided by a desired file size is greater than a threshold;
- and
- combining the collection of input files into a reduced set of files.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor perform the following steps:
- determining whether the size of input files in a directory are less than a block size;
- determining whether the size of the input files in the directory divided by a desired file size is greater than a threshold;
- and
- combining the collection of input files into a reduced set of files.
