Abstract
Techniques are provided for implementing a distributed hierarchical cluster management system. A system comprises a data storage system and a cluster management system. The data storage system comprises a cluster of storage nodes that is partitioned into a plurality of subclusters of storage nodes. The cluster management system is deployed on at least some of the storage nodes of the data storage system, and comprises a global management system and a plurality of local management subsystems. Each local management subsystem is configured to manage a respective subcluster of the plurality of subclusters of storage nodes, and communicate with the global management system to provide subcluster status information to the global management system regarding a current state and configuration of the respective subcluster of storage nodes. The global management system is configured to manage the cluster of storage nodes using the subcluster status information provided by the local management subsystems.
