   Title:   Proxy-Driven Server for Flexible Files Version 2

Abstract:

   Parallel NFS (pNFS) with the Flexible Files Version 2 layout type
   supports client-side erasure coding and per-chunk repair between
   clients and data servers.  This document extends that architecture
   with a proxy server role: a registered peer of the metadata server
   that polls the metadata server for work assignments and carries them
   out -- moving a file from one layout to another, reconstructing a
   whole file from surviving shards, or translating between encodings
   for clients that cannot participate in the file's native encoding
   (including NFSv3 clients).  All proxy-server-to-metadata-server
   coordination is fore-channel: the metadata server returns work
   assignments inline in the response to a proxy-server-initiated
   PROXY_PROGRESS poll, and the proxy server reports completion via a
   fore-channel PROXY_DONE.  No callback operations are required for the
   proxy server protocol.
