The Lustre project develops and documents Lustre file system, a distributed parallel file system. Its architecture separates namespace and metadata operations from bulk file-content operations, allowing different servers to handle those workloads. A client can therefore resolve a file through the metadata service and transfer its content through object-storage services. The project documentation identifies these roles explicitly, which matters when reasoning about where a request travels and which service limits its performance.^[ref]
