ABSTRACT
Along with the rapid development of information technology, individual users of computers are faced with many problems in dealing with massive files, such as enormous amount, serious redundancy and complex version evolution relation. These lead that the file system becomes more and more rough-and-tumble, to a certain extent putting users to trouble in daily work. This paper systematically analyzed the problems in file system management, put forward user cognitive model when faced with massive files, and then introduced the FDTVAS system which is a visual interface based on hyperbolic tree view for exploring the massive files. This system used specific algorithm to do the intelligent analysis of file relationship, took hyperbolic tree as the main visual form, and provided a series of interaction tasks according with users' cognitive model. The built system can help users get a clear insight of the file system and do the analysis and management efficiently.

Research of Massive Small Files Reading Optimization Based on Parallel Network File System
HPCC-CSS-ICESS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 IEEE 17th International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications, 2015 IEEE 7th International Symposium on Cyberspace Safety and Security, and 2015 IEEE 12th International Conf on Embedded Software and SystemsWith the rapid development of cloud computing and big data, there are more and more small files. How to manage those massive small files efficiently and provide low-latency service is becoming a hot topic in Parallel Network File System (pNFS). When ...
Enhancing HDFS with a full-text search system for massive small files
AbstractHDFS is a popular open-source system for scalable and reliable file management, which is designed as a general-purpose solution for distributed file storage. While it works well for medium or large files, it will suffer heavy performance ...
Performance Optimization for Managing Massive Numbers of Small Files in Distributed File Systems
The processing of massive numbers of small files is a challenge in the design of distributed file systems. Currently, the combined-block-storage approach is prevalent. However, the approach employs the traditional file systems such as ExtFS and may cause ...
