A File Distribution Mechanism based on Netty Communication Framework

Abstract The efficiency of file distribution in large-scale data processing platform is essential besides system security. Traditional CIFS file sharing method cannot meet the requirement due to its lack of security and ability to distribute fragile files. This paper introduces an innovated file distribution mechanism based on Netty framework. It utilizes zero-copy mode provided by Netty, along with multi-thread asynchronous communication. Experiment shows that it outperforms CIFS in real-time applications.
