Abstract
According to one embodiment, a master storage node receives a search query for searching images from a client, where the master storage node is coupled to a number of worker storage nodes over a storage network. The master storage node performs a hash operation on one or more keywords of the search query using a first predetermined hash function, generating a first hash value. A first of the worker storage nodes is identified based on the first hash value. The master storage node redirects the search query to the first worker storage node to allow the first worker storage node service the search query. The first worker storage node is to identify one or more images from a first system memory of the first worker storage node based on the search query and to transmit the one or more images to the client.
