A metadata server may distribute data on ingress and assign files to particular storage volumes. The metadata server may then provide a lookup function for files and be configured to distribute a file to other volumes when necessary. A job server may launch jobs as containerized applications and coordinate data access across jobs.”
The patent application was filed on May 31, 2018 (15/994,634).
