Design Architecture Guide

This implementation is based on the research paper DFS_simulation_14m.pdf

Simulation structure

Implementation differences

While the design is based on the above paper, this implementation leverages concurrency benefits in the go programming language.

Usage

usage: ./goSimDFS [help] <command> [<args>]

export environment variables

export CHUNK_SERVER_PORT=$(PORT)
start filesystem servers
- ./goSimDFS start
run commands
- ./goSimDFS <command> [args]

Build

go build

Requirement

this project requires a unix-like shell to work properly.
