Water-Filling: A Novel Approach of Load Rebalancing for File Systems in Cloud

File systems serves as the backend for cloud computing and load balancing is the relevant issue in context of resource utilization for distributed file systems in cloud. Prior to this, it is fruitful to identify the load on the storage servers (nodes) which is equivalent to number of file chunks it stored. Here is an extension of load balancing i.e. water-filling load rebalancing operated on distributed approach based on water-filling methodology, contrasting all the earlier algorithms that were grounded on centralized and distributed approaches, is used for balancing the load on servers by distributing file chunks making it more amplified to perform map reducing tasks. Water-filling approach enhances the scope of algorithm by calculating the total load exchange cost and rejoining cost in terms of file chunks migrated. Besides this, distributed approach, which employs self reliant load balancing on each node, is preferred due to its effortlessness. In distributed approach the node having highest and the lowest load is preferred to exchange chunks but often not on least possible load exchange cost. In this paper, an improved load distribution task based on physical network locality significance is calculated by water-filling algorithm, is used as metric for minimizing the load exchange cost to improve the
