Abstract
The described technology is generally directed towards data movement from data storage clusters. A data movement job can be split into data movement tasks, and the data movement tasks can be distributed among multiple nodes of a data storage cluster. In order to distribute the tasks, a data store that identifies the tasks can be split into multiple segments, and different groups of nodes can be assigned affinities to process tasks identified in the different segments. Furthermore, the nodes of each group of nodes can be assigned different start positions within their storage segment, to reduce the likelihood of contention between nodes in connection with claiming a same task. Some of the tasks can be generated in an already claimed state, which also reduces contention and allows for more efficient operation.
