METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR LOOKING UP DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17747677 Titled 'METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR LOOKING UP DATA'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a method, electronic device, and computer program for looking up data in a system with a layered structure. The method involves acquiring a data identifier for the data to be looked up, which includes layer information related to a specific layer in the system. The distance between the data identifier and the node identifier for the first node is determined, and based on this distance, a second node is determined to acquire metadata for the data. The metadata is then used to determine a third node that stores the actual data, which can be acquired.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for looking up data. This method includes: acquiring, at a first node, a data identifier for data to be looked up, wherein the first node is located in a system having a layered structure, and the data identifier comprises layer information related to a layer in the layered structure. The method further includes: determining a distance between the data identifier and a node identifier for the first node. The method further includes: determining, based on the distance, a second node that can be used to acquire metadata for the data for acquiring the metadata, wherein the distance is related to positions of the first node and the second node in the layered structure. The method further includes: determining, based on the metadata, a third node storing the data for acquiring the data.
