PCC is a new framework which provides a group of local cache on Lustre client side. No global namespace will be provided by PCC. Each client uses its own local storage as a cache for itself. Local file system is used to manage the data on local caches. Cached I/O is directed to local filesystem while normal I/O is directed to OSTs. PCC uses HSM for data synchronization. It uses HSM copytool to restore file from local caches to Lustre OSTs. Each PCC has a copytool instance running with unique archive number. Any remote access from another Lustre client would trigger the data synchronization. If a client with PCC goes offline, the cached data becomes inaccessible for other client temporarilly. And after the PCC client reboots and the copytool restarts, the data will be accessible again. ToDo: 1) Make PCC exclusive with HSM. 2) Strong size consistence for PCC cached file among clients. 3) Support to cache partial content of a file.
