Abstract
Embodiments for performing load balancing in a filesystem of a distributed network comprising worker nodes accessing shared resources that are controlled by distributed locks to grant and prevent access from clients, by assigning a range of directory entries to each worker node, and providing feedback from each worker node to a load balancer to expose an internal state of acquired resources and other parameters of each worker node. In response to periodic updates of the directory ranges to be collocated, the system maintains directory ranges in each worker so that complete subtrees of the directory tree fit in a single range assigned to a worker. Upon receipt of a client request to access a data asset, the load balancer selects the most optimum worker to satisfy the request based on the worker internal states and other parameters.
