Abstract:

In order to solve the relatively fine-grained control over the transmission of network data and more efficient use of network bandwidth, we design and implement
an optimized file synchronization model which moves most calculations out of the cloud and shared part of checksum by local data table and the cloud server distributed cache
table. And this method is based on Rsync file transfer algorithm and took Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) as the research object. Experimental results show that the model
can effectively improve the cloud storage file synchronization of I/O performance, and reduce synchronization costs.

Key words: cloud storage, file synchronization, Rsync, Hadoop distributed file system, checksum, distributed cache
