About this document
Naming Entities in Distributed Systems by Pradnya Randive is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This chapter discusses naming in distributed systems. It covers naming entities with identifiers and addresses. Name spaces are implemented as graphs with directory and leaf nodes. Name resolution involves starting at an initial context and following paths through the graph. Name spaces can be merged by concatenating paths or introducing mount points. Name space implementation distributes the graph across multiple machines at global, administrative, and managerial levels.
