What Hacker News says

5 sources
Based on the design[1], it has a leader / follower pattern (although you should have multiple leaders with Raft consensus to avoid having a single point of failure), where the leader is called "nameserver" and decides where to put each piece of data and metadata among a set of chunk servers and metadata servers. That design is very reminiscent of CephFS's cluster monitors, metadata servers, object storage devices.
