Abstract
Storage processes are described. For instance, dumping of cache data in a memory table at a source directory table partition in a source container group is stopped in response to receiving a close signal. A notification for creating a target directory table partition is sent to a target container group, the notification including a checkpoint at the source directory table partition. The cache data in the memory table is sent to the target container group, and the source container group is closed in response to a determination that an ownership of the target directory table partition is updated to the target container group. A rescheduling and/or upgrading solution is thus proposed for a source container group, so that the source container group is still in a service state during the rescheduling and/or upgrading solution, which improves the performance of storage services and reduces the data unavailable time.
