Description: A metadata pool in a distributed storage system is an essential component responsible for storing and managing information related to the data stored in the system. In distributed storage platforms, metadata is crucial for the organization and efficient access to data. This group allows the system to keep track of the location of objects, their attributes, and the operations performed on them. Metadata includes information such as the object’s name, size, creation and modification dates, as well as access permissions. The architecture of these systems is designed to be highly scalable and resilient, meaning that the metadata group plays a fundamental role in managing large volumes of data distributed across multiple nodes. Additionally, by separating metadata from actual data, the system can optimize storage performance and efficiency, allowing for faster access and better resource management. This separation also facilitates data recovery and fault management, as metadata can be replicated and distributed independently of data, thus ensuring the integrity and availability of the system as a whole.
