master server

The master server acts as the coordinator for the cluster.

The master server doesn't actually handle file data at all.

The master server runs the main database and the web interface.

The master server decides which chunks will act as primary or secondary.

After three days, the master server can delete a garbage chunk.

An independent master server and game servers are running.

The master server monitors chunks by looking at the checksums.

This is done using the master server network.

The primary replica holds a lease from the master server for the chunk in question.

Some copies, called shadow masters, provide limited services even when the primary master server is active.

The online play gets its server listings from a master server.

That way, if the client needs to refer to the same replica later on, it can bypass the master server.

Any changes made to accounts, security policies and access routes are all made on the master server.

Replicas can also be promoted to master server for the purpose of disaster recovery.

It was also designed so it can run on multiple servers rather than one master server.

The master server also keeps track of metadata, which is the information that describes chunks.

If that doesn't work, the master server will identify the affected replica as garbage.

One or more master servers control operations of the overall system in addition to responding to various user requests.

The master server dispatches print jobs to appropriate slave servers.

These short messages allow the master server to stay current with each chunkserver's status.

The master server also monitors chunks and verifies that each replica is current.

All any of us had was our master server image file - which, if restored, would wipe out all their data.

From that moment on, the master server keeps track of the location of chunks within the cluster.

The master server chooses the chunkserver closest to the client.

The chunkservers respond by telling the master server the contents of their inventories.
