Abstract
Techniques are provided for providing data across multiple clusters in a single namespace. In an example, a first cluster can comprise an accelerator node that communicates with a client computer, and is configured both to refer the client computer to another cluster, and to proxy data from another cluster to the client. When the client computer accesses data at a junction in the namespace between the first cluster and a second cluster, the accelerator node can determine whether to refer the client computer or proxy the client computer. Then, the accelerator node can use this determined approach so that the client computer can access data from the second cluster.
