Peer to peer ownership negotiation
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- tracking frequency of ownership change and relocation of a memory record between nodes of a networked system, where each node executes a segment of a shared file system for managing a plurality of memory records;
determining by a first file system segment of a first node that owns the memory record stored at a first memory, whether to change ownership of the memory record to a second node and relocate the memory record to a second memory of the second node;
wherein relocation of the memory record is to make the memory record local to the second node for a type of use by the second node; and
the change of ownership and the relocation is based on the tracked frequency of ownership and relocation, and a memory record type;
providing remote access to the memory record from the first memory to the second node via a network, when it is determined not to change ownership and relocate the memory record; and
changing ownership of the memory record and relocating the memory record via the network to the second memory of the second node for use by a second file system segment of the shared file system, when it is determined to change ownership and relocate the memory record;
wherein the change of ownership and relocation of the memory record is delayed due to lack of capacity at the second memory of the second node.

Abstract
A method of negotiating memory record ownership between network nodes, comprising: storing in a memory of a first network node a subset of a plurality of memory records and one of a plurality of file system segments of a file system mapping the memory records; receiving a request from a second network node to access a memory record of the memory records subset; identifying the memory record by using the file system segment; deciding, by a placement algorithm, whether to relocate the memory record, from the memory records subset to a second subset of the plurality of memory records stored in a memory of the second network node; when a relocation is not decided, providing remote access of the memory record via a network to the second network node; and when a relocation is decided, relocating the memory record via the network for management by the second network node.

8. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method, comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:
-
track frequency of ownership change and relocation of a memory record between nodes of a networked system, where each node executes a segment of a shared file system for managing a plurality of memory records; determine by a first file system segment of a first node that owns the memory record stored at a first memory, whether to change ownership of the memory record to a second node and relocate the memory record to a second memory of the second node;
wherein relocation of the memory record is to make the memory record local to the second node for a type of use by the second node; and
the change of ownership and the relocation is based on the tracked frequency of ownership and relocation, and a memory record type;provide remote access to the memory record from the first memory to the second node via a network, when it is determined not to change ownership and relocate the memory record; and change ownership of the memory record and relocate the memory record via the network to the second memory of the second node for use by a second file system segment of the shared file system, when it is determined to change ownership and relocate the memory record;
wherein the change of ownership and relocation of the memory record is delayed due to lack of capacity at the second memory of the second node. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system, comprising:
-
a memory containing machine readable medium comprising machine executable code having stored thereon instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory to execute the machine executable code to;track frequency of ownership change and relocation of a memory record between nodes of a networked system, where each node executes a segment of a shared file system for managing a plurality of memory records; determine by a first file system segment of a first node that owns the memory record stored at a first memory, whether to change ownership of the memory record to a second node and relocate the memory record to a second memory of the second node;
wherein relocation of the memory record is to make the memory record local to the second node for a type of use by the second node; and
the change of ownership and the relocation is based on the tracked frequency of ownership and relocation, and a memory record type;provide remote access to the memory record from the first memory to the second node via a network, when it is determined not to change ownership and relocate the memory record; and change ownership of the memory record and relocate the memory record via the network to the second memory of the second node for use by a second file system segment of the shared file system, when it is determined to change ownership and relocate the memory record;
wherein the change of ownership and relocation of the memory record is delayed due to lack of capacity at the second memory of the second node. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
