Distributed File System Client Simulator

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 META_SERVER_PORT=$(PORT)

• export CHUNK_SERVER_PORT=$(PORT)
