  • Are you growing storage systems a blessing or a curse? As storage systems expands to a billions of files they become increasingly difficult to manage. Effective management requires quickly searching the metadata of the files being stored. Unfortunately, tools such as find and grep and off-the-shelf databases cannot easily scale to billions of files. Spyglass is a new approach to metadata search, which leverages file and query properties to improve performance and functionaty and to allow people to focus on using rather than merely managing their data.
