Abstract

Distributed system controllers provide on-demand data access in complex, heterogenous data storage. In one embodiment, the distributed system controllers respond to name space metadata event messages published on a persistent message but to maintain a common name space in a complex of heterogenous data storage systems. In one embodiment, data unit access request metadata messages are propagated in recursive, cascading hops along a persistent message bus until the requested data unit is located and retrieved. Other features and aspects may be realized, depending upon the particular application.
