Abstract

A method, computer readable medium, and network traffic management apparatus that accesses data in a compressed file system includes obtaining an original write request from a client computing device including at least object data. The object data is compressed into a plurality of compressed blocks. A mapping of each compressed block to a portion of the object data compressed therein is generated, wherein the portion of the object data compressed therein is represented in the mapping by a unique object identifier, a start offset, and a length. The compressed blocks and the mapping are stored in at least one data storage device. At least one data access request for at least a portion of the object data is serviced based on the mapping.

Description

FIELD
This technology generally relates to accessing object data in a compressed file system, and, more particularly, to efficient methods and devices for servicing read and write data access requests independent of protocol.
BACKGROUND
In order to optimize utilization of relatively fast storage devices having limited capacity, such as in a tiered file storage system, relatively infrequently accessed files are often compressed into blocks of data and archived in relatively slow storage devices of the tiered storage system. Accessing an archived file, such as in response to a read or write request, generally requires decompressing the entire file, as identified based on a file handle or other identifier included in the request, in order to locate a portion of the file identified by a start offset and/or a length included in the request.
Accordingly, although such read and write requests often identify only a portion of the original file, all of the compressed blocks associated with the original file must be retrieved and decompressed in order to locate the requested portion, in order to service a read request, or locate the portion to be written, in order to service a write request. Additionally, in order to service a write request, the entire original file generally must be recompressed, subsequent to the write procedure, even though only a portion of the original file may have been modified. Retrieving and decompressing all of the compressed blocks associated with a file, and in the case of a write request, recompressing an entire file, requires significant time and resources thereby increasing the response time to the requesting client computing device, which is undesirable.
SUMMARY
A method for managing requests for content includes obtaining with a network traffic management apparatus an original write request from a client computing device including at least object data. The object data is compressed with the network traffic management apparatus into a plurality of compressed blocks. A mapping of each compressed block to a portion of the object data compressed therein is generated with the network traffic management apparatus, wherein the portion of the object data compressed therein is represented in the mapping by a unique object identifier, a start offset, and a length. The compressed blocks and the mapping are stored with the network traffic management apparatus in at least one data storage device. At least one data access request for at least a portion of the object data is serviced with the network traffic management based on the mapping.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for managing requests for content comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one processor, causes the processor to perform steps including obtaining an original write request from a client computing device including at least object data. The object data is compressed into a plurality of compressed blocks. A mapping of each compressed block to a portion of the object data compressed therein is generated, wherein the portion of the object data compressed therein is represented in the mapping by a unique object identifier, a start offset, and a length. The compressed blocks and the mapping are stored in at least one data storage device. At least one data access request for at least a portion of the object data is serviced based on the mapping.
A network traffic management apparatus includes a memory, configurable logic, and a processor coupled to the memory and the configurable logic, at least one of the configurable logic configured to implement or the processor configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory including obtaining an original write request from a client computing device including at least object data. The object data is compressed into a plurality of compressed blocks. A mapping of each compressed block to a portion of the object data compressed therein is generated, wherein the portion of the object data compressed therein is represented in the mapping by a unique object identifier, a start offset, and a length. The compressed blocks and the mapping are stored in at least one data storage device. At least one data access request for at least a portion of the object data is serviced based on the mapping.
This technology provides a number of advantages including methods, non-transitory computer readable medium, and devices that efficiently access data in a compressed file system, the data being required to service read or write data access requests received from networked client computing devices. With this technology, a mapping of object data to compressed blocks including compressed object data is stored and utilized to retrieve only a portion of the compressed blocks storing the object data required to service a read or write request. Accordingly, only a subset of the compressed blocks storing object data needs to be decompressed to service a read request for only a portion of a file. Additionally, only a subset of the compressed blocks storing object data needs to be decompressed, modified, and rewritten to service a write request that does not require additional storage space beyond the fixed size of the compressed blocks. As a result, resource utilization is improved as well as response time, thereby improving the user experience with the file storage system.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A network environment 10 with an exemplary network traffic management apparatus 14 for accessing data in a compressed file system is illustrated in FIG. 1. In this example, the environment 10 includes client computing devices 12, network traffic management apparatus 14, and servers 16, which are coupled together by local area networks (LAN) 28 and wide area network (WAN) 30, although other types and numbers of devices, components, and elements in other topologies could be used. While not shown, the environment 10 also may include additional network components, such as routers, switches and other devices, which are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art and thus will not be described here. This technology provides a number of advantages including methods, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus that efficiently service data access requests in a compressed file storage system.
In this example, the network traffic management apparatus 14 is coupled to client computing devices 12 through one of the LANs 28, although the client computing devices 12, or other devices, and network traffic management apparatus 14 may be coupled together via other topologies. Additionally, the network traffic management apparatus 14 is coupled to the servers 16 through another one of the LANs 28, although the servers 16, or other devices, and the network traffic management apparatus 14 may be coupled together via other topologies. LANs 28 each may employ any suitable interface mechanisms and network communication technologies including, for example, teletraffic in any suitable form (e.g., voice, modem, and the like), Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTNs), Ethernet-based Packet Data Networks (PDNs), combinations thereof, and the like. The network traffic management apparatus 14 is further coupled to client computing devices 12 through WAN 30, which may comprise any wide area network (e.g., Internet), although any other type of traffic network topology may be used. Various network processing applications, such as CIFS applications, NFS applications, HTTP Web Server applications, and/or FTP applications, may be operating on servers 16 and transmitting data (e.g., files, Web pages) through the network traffic management apparatus 14 in response to requests for content from client computing devices 12.
The network traffic management apparatus 14 facilitates servicing of data access requests in a compressed file storage system as illustrated and described with the examples herein, although network traffic management apparatus 14 may perform other types and numbers of functions, such as optimizing, securing and accelerating the traffic between client computing devices 12 and servers 16, and/or one or more applications. Network traffic management apparatus 14 includes at least one processor 18, memory 20, optional configurable logic device 21, I/O interface 22, and interface device 24 which are coupled together by bus 26, although network traffic management apparatus 14 may comprise other types and numbers of elements in other configurations. Although network traffic management apparatus 14 is shown in this example as being a standalone device, such as a BIGIP® device offered by F5 Networks, Inc., of Seattle, Wash., it should be appreciated that the network traffic management apparatus 14 could also be one of several blades servers coupled to a chassis device, such as a VIPRION® device, also offered by F5 Networks, Inc., of Seattle, Wash.
Processor(s) 18 may execute one or more computer-executable instructions stored in the memory 20 for the methods illustrated and described with reference to the examples, although the processor(s) can execute other types and numbers of instructions and perform other types and numbers of operations. The processor(s) 18 may comprise one or more central processing units (CPUs) or general purpose processors with one or more processing cores, such as AMD® processor(s), although other types of processor(s) could be used (e.g., Intel®).
Memory 20 may comprise one or more tangible storage media and/or devices, such as RAM, ROM, flash memory, CD-ROM, floppy disk, hard disk drive(s), solid state memory, DVD, or any other memory storage types or devices, including combinations thereof, which are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The various storage devices of the memory 20 may be arranged in a tiered storage system to allow for less expensive and larger capacity storage devices, for example, to store less frequently accessed, compressed and/or archived data.
Memory 20 may store one or more non-transitory computer-readable instructions of this technology as illustrated and described with reference to the examples herein that may be executed by the one or more processor(s) 18. The flow charts shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are representative of example steps or actions of this technology that may be embodied or expressed as one or more non-transitory computer or machine readable instructions stored in memory 20 that may be executed by the processor(s) 18 and/or may be implemented by configured logic in optional configurable logic device 21.
The optional configurable logic device 21 may comprise specialized hardware configured to implement one or more steps of this technology as illustrated and described with reference to the examples herein. By way of example only, the optional configurable logic device 21 may comprise one or more of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), field programmable logic devices (FPLDs), application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and/or programmable logic units (PLUs).
Input and display devices 22 enable a user, such as an administrator, to interact with the network traffic management apparatus 14, such as to input and/or view data and/or to configure, program and/or operate it by way of example only. Input devices may include a keyboard and/or a computer mouse and display devices may include a computer monitor, although other types and numbers of input devices and display devices could be used.
The interface device 24 in the network traffic management apparatus 14 is used to operatively couple and communicate between the network traffic management apparatus 14 and the client computing devices 12 and the servers 16, which are all coupled together by one or more local area networks (LAN) 28 and wide area networks (WAN) 30, although other types and numbers of communication networks or systems with other types and numbers of connections and configurations to other devices and elements. By way of example only, the local area networks (LAN) 28 and wide area networks (WAN) 30 can use TCP/IP over Ethernet and industry-standard protocols, including NFS, CIFS, SOAP, XML, LDAP, and SNMP, although other types and numbers of communication networks, can be used. In this example, the bus 26 is a hyper-transport bus in this example, although other bus types and links may be used, such as PCI.
Each of the client computing devices 12 and the servers 16 include a central processing unit (CPU) or processor, a memory, an interface device, and an I/O system, which are coupled together by a bus or other link, although other numbers and types of network devices could be used. The client computing devices 12, in this example, may run interface applications, such as Web browsers, that may provide an interface to make requests for and send content and/or data to different server-based applications via the LANs 28 and/or WANs 30.
Generally, servers 16 process requests received from client computing devices 12 via LANs 28 and/or WANs 30 according to the HTTP-based application RFC protocol or the CIFS or NFS protocol in this example, but the principles discussed herein are not limited to this example and can include other application protocols. A series of applications may run on the servers 16 that allow the transmission of data, such as object data, files, and/or metadata, requested by the client computing devices 12. The servers 16 may provide data or receive data in response to requests directed toward the respective applications on the servers 16 from the client computing devices 12. In some example, the servers 16 may further include various storage devices including a tiered file storage system and/or may be one or more tiers of a tiered file storage system including one or more other network devices. Accordingly the servers 16 can provide backup, archived, and/or compressed data storage services for other networked devices. It is to be understood that the servers 16 may be hardware or software or may represent a system with multiple servers 16 in a server pool, which may include internal or external networks. In this example the servers 16 may be any version of Microsoft® IIS servers or Apache® servers, although other types of servers may be used. Further, additional servers may be coupled to the LAN 28 and many different types of applications may be available on servers coupled to the LAN 28.
Although an exemplary network environment 10 with client computing devices 12, network traffic management apparatus 14, servers 16, LANs 28 and WANs 30 are described and illustrated herein, other types and numbers of systems, devices, blades, components, and elements in other topologies can be used. It is to be understood that the systems of the examples described herein are for exemplary purposes, as many variations of the specific hardware and software used to implement the examples are possible, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the relevant art(s).
Furthermore, each of the systems of the examples may be conveniently implemented using one or more general purpose computer systems, microprocessors, digital signal processors, and micro-controllers, programmed according to the teachings of the examples, as described and illustrated herein, and as will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art.
In addition, two or more computing systems or devices can be substituted for any one of the systems or devices in any example. Accordingly, principles and advantages of distributed processing, such as redundancy and replication also can be implemented, as desired, to increase the robustness and performance of the devices and systems of the examples. The examples may also be implemented on computer system(s) that extend across any suitable network using any suitable interface mechanisms and traffic technologies, including by way of example only teletraffic in any suitable form (e.g., voice and modem), wireless traffic media, wireless traffic networks, cellular traffic networks, G3 traffic networks, Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTNs), Packet Data Networks (PDNs), the Internet, intranets, and combinations thereof.
The examples may also be embodied as a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon for one or more aspects of the technology as described and illustrated by way of the examples herein, which when executed by a processor (or configurable hardware), cause the processor to carry out the steps necessary to implement the methods of the examples, as described and illustrated herein.
An exemplary method for servicing read data access requests in a compressed file system will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1-2. In this particular example, in step 200, the network traffic management apparatus 14 obtains at least one original write request including at least the object data to be stored, although in other examples the data may already compressed and stored as described here with reference to steps 200, 202, 204, and 206.
In step 202, the network traffic management apparatus 14 compresses the object data into at least one compressed block. In some examples, each compressed block has a fixed size or length, such as 64 kilobytes, for example, although the compressed blocks may be any other fixed size or of variable size.
In step 204, the network traffic management apparatus 14 stores the compressed blocks in the memory 20, although the compressed blocks can be stored in other data storage devices and at other locations. For example, the compressed blocks could be stored in one or more file server devices 16, a tiered storage system including the memory 20 and/or one or more file server devices 16, and/or any other data storage device(s).
In step 206, the network traffic management apparatus 14 maintains and stores a mapping of the original object data to the compressed blocks of object data, which the network traffic management apparatus 14 in the memory 20, although the mapping could be stored in other locations. One exemplary mapping is a table including object identifier, start offset, and length values for the object data included in the original write request associated with a unique identifier of the compressed block storing the compressed object data for the portion of the object data indicated by the associated start offset and length values, although other mappings of the original object data to the compressed object data can be used.
In one example, the unique identifier for each compressed block includes a file handle or other identifier shared by a plurality of compressed blocks storing compressed data for the same object as well as a start offset and a length value that together uniquely identify each compressed block. In the latter example, and in the exemplary operation in which the compressed blocks are of a fixed size, the length values will all be the same and the start offsets will all be intervals determined by the length value. In order to locate the compressed blocks at a later time, the network traffic management apparatus 14 can store a mapping of the unique identifier for each compressed block to a location of the compressed block in the data storage device or utilize any other method of maintaining the location of the compressed blocks.
In step 208, the network traffic management apparatus 14 obtains a read data access request from a client computing device 12 for object data previously stored as described and illustrated earlier with respect to steps 200, 202, 204, and 206. The read request can be based on any protocol requiring at least object identifier or file handle, start offset, and length parameters, the length parameter indicating a number of bytes, for example, including a common Internet file system (CIFS) protocol, a network file system (NFS) protocol, or a file transfer protocol (FTP), for example.
In step 210, the network traffic management apparatus 14 identifies at least one compressed block storing compressed object data required to service the read request by querying the table based on the read request parameter values. Accordingly, in one example, a read request is obtained by the network traffic management apparatus 14 from a client computing device 12 including at least parameter values F0 for the object identifier, 50 for the start offset, and 100 for the length. In this example, the mapping stored in step 206 for object F0 indicates that the compressed block having a unique identifier of C0 is storing start offset 0 and length 100, the compressed block having a unique identifier of C1 is storing start offset 100 and length 100, and the compressed block having a unique identifier of C2 is storing start offset 200 and length 75. Accordingly, in step 210, the network traffic management apparatus 14 identifies compressed blocks C0 and C1 based on the mapping of the object data byte range 50-150, as identified by the read request parameter values of 50 for the start offset and 100 for the length.
In step 212, the network traffic management apparatus 14 retrieves the identified compressed blocks from the data storage device. Accordingly, in this example, the network traffic management apparatus 14 retrieves compressed blocks C0 and C1 from a data storage device, such as one of server devices 16.
In step 214, the network traffic management apparatus 14 obtains the requested object data by decompressing the retrieved compressed blocks. Accordingly, in this example, blocks C0 and C1 are decompressed by the network traffic management apparatus 14 and the object data responsive to the received read request in step 208 is obtained based on the read request parameter values.
In step 216, the obtained object data is sent by the network traffic management apparatus 14 to the requesting one of the client computing devices 12. Because the read request included parameter values of 50 for the start offset and 100 for the length, in this example, only the second 50 bytes of object data included in compressed block C0 and only the first 50 bytes of object data included in compressed block C1 are obtained by the network traffic management apparatus 14, in step 214, and sent by the network traffic management apparatus 14, in step 216, to the requesting one of the client computing devices 12.
Accordingly, in this example, the read request received from the client computing device 12 is serviced by the network traffic management apparatus 14 without retrieving compressed block C2 from the data storage device and without decompressing compressed block C2. The ability of the network traffic management apparatus 14 to retrieve and decompress only those compressed blocks necessary to service a read request from a client computing device 12 is made possible by the mapping, stored in step 206, which allows the network traffic management apparatus 14 to identify only a subset of compressed blocks. As compressed files and objects are often archived in relatively slow data storage devices due to their relatively infrequent access by users of client computing devices 12, retrieving and decompressing only those necessary compressed blocks, instead of all compressed blocks storing object data for the object identified in the read request, can reduce resource utilization and response time, particularly when the number of compressed blocks not required to service the read request is substantial.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, an exemplary method for servicing write data access requests in a compressed file system will now be described. In this particular example, the write request is a request to modify object data previously stored in the compressed file system as described with reference to steps 300, 302, 304, and 306.
In step 300, the network traffic management apparatus 14 obtains an original write request including at least the object data to be stored.
In step 302, the network traffic management apparatus 14 compresses the object data into at least one compressed block. In this example, each of the compressed blocks includes compressed object data and at least one empty portion. In some examples, the compressed blocks each have a fixed size, such as 64 kilobytes, 4 kilobytes of which is empty and does not include compressed object data, although any size of compressed block, compressed object data, and empty storage space can be used.
In step 304, the network traffic management apparatus 14 stores the compressed blocks in a data storage device such as the memory 20 of the network traffic management apparatus 14, one or more file server devices 16, a tiered storage system including the memory 20 and/or one or more file server devices 16, and/or any other data storage device(s).
In step 306, the network traffic management apparatus 14 maintains and stores a mapping of the original object data to the compressed blocks of object data.
In step 308, the network traffic management apparatus 14 obtains a write request from a client computing device 12 including a plurality of parameter values and object data to be used to modify object data previously stored as described and illustrated earlier with respect to steps 300, 302, 304, and 306. The write request can be based on any protocol requiring at least an object identifier or parameter value identifying the object to be modified, a start offset parameter value indicating the beginning location in the object to be modified, and a length parameter value indicating the portion of the object data to be modified. Accordingly, the protocol can include CIFS, NFS, or FTP, for example.
In step 310, the network traffic management apparatus 14 identifies at least one compressed block storing compressed object data required to service the write request by referencing the mapping, such as by querying a table storing the mapping, based on the write request parameter values. In step 312, the network traffic management apparatus 14 retrieves the identified compressed blocks.
In step 314, the network traffic management apparatus 14 obtains the object data to be modified by decompressing the retrieved compressed blocks. As at least a subset of the parameters are the same for a read request as for a write request, the identification of step 310, retrieval of step 312, and obtaining of step 314 can be performed by the network traffic management apparatus 14 as described and illustrated earlier with respect to steps 210, 212, and 214, respectively.
In step 316, the network traffic management apparatus 14 modifies the object data obtained in step 314 to include at least a portion of the object data included in the write request. In step 318, the network traffic management apparatus 14 generates modified compressed blocks by compressing the modified object data. Accordingly, the modified compressed blocks include compressed write request object data along with compressed object data that was previously stored and not currently modified.
The modified compressed blocks may be smaller, the same size, or larger than the corresponding compressed blocks retrieved, in step 312, by the network traffic management apparatus 14, depending on the size of the write request object data, the size of any previously stored object data that is replaced by the write request object data, and/or the compressibility of the object data as modified, for example. If a modified compressed block is not greater than the corresponding retrieved compressed block, the network traffic management apparatus 14 completes service of the write request by replacing, in step 320, the retrieved compressed block with the modified compressed block.
If the size of any compressed block is greater than the corresponding retrieved compressed block, the network traffic management apparatus 14 can retrieve every compressed block storing object data for the object identified by the write request object identifier parameter value, as identified based on the mapping. The network traffic management apparatus 14 can then decompress all of the retrieved compressed blocks, recompress the object data, and update the mapping. Because such an operation is relatively expensive, particularly with respect to compressed and archived data stored on relatively slow data storage device(s), including the empty portion in each compressed block when compressing the object data, in step 302, can provide for expansion of the compressed data upon servicing the write request, thereby reducing the number of instances in which a modified compressed block is greater in size than a corresponding retrieved compressed block.
Accordingly, in this example, in order to service a write data access request received from a client computing device 12, only those compressed blocks storing compressed object data required to service the write request are retrieved and decompressed by the network traffic management apparatus 14. Additionally, in examples in which a space for expansion is included by the network traffic management apparatus 14 in the form of an empty portion in the compressed blocks, the number of instances in which compressed blocks other than those necessary to service the write request will need to be retrieved, decompressed, recompressed, and stored can be reduced, thereby reducing resource utilization and response time.
The examples described herein have particular advantages for applications in which only portions of an archived object or file are read by a client computing device 12. Additionally, the examples described herein have particular advantages for applications in which only portions of an object or file are written such as databases and document and source control systems, for example, although these examples also provide advantages for other applications.
With this technology a mapping of object data to compressed blocks, each including compressed object data, is maintained and stored by the network traffic management apparatus 14 upon receiving an original write request. Subsequent read and write requests requiring access to the object data can be serviced by the network traffic management apparatus 14 based on the mapping and by only retrieving and decompressing, and in the case of some write requests, modifying and recompressing, only the compressed blocks required to service the requests. By accessing fewer compressed blocks in order to service data access requests, resource utilization is reduced and response time for servicing the data access request is reduced for the user of the requesting one of the client computing devices 12.
Having thus described the basic concept of the invention, it will be rather apparent to those skilled in the art that the foregoing detailed disclosure is intended to be presented by way of example only, and is not limiting. Various alterations, improvements, and modifications will occur and are intended to those skilled in the art, though not expressly stated herein.

Additionally, the recited order of processing elements or sequences, or the use of numbers, letters, or other designations therefore, is not intended to limit the claimed processes to any order except as may be specified in the claims. Accordingly, the invention is limited only by the following claims and equivalents thereto.
