A torrent is a group of users collectively distributing and/or downloading a file.2 At a given moment, a user may be online as a node in none, one, or several torrents in the system.

The data is either transferred directly from one processing step to another using intermediate files or via a shared storage system, such as a distributed file system or a database (which is our target in this particular work).
Nevertheless, these parameters effect the runtime of the application and have to be considered during the job configuration (e.g. changing the replication of a huge file in a distributed file system may require prohibitive data transfers), but they may impact the job configuration process.
Like most patents, this one had a very literal name: "Systems and methods for providing a distributed file system incorporating a virtual hot spare".
As TechCrunch reported last month, Telegram's ICO whitepaper reveals plans for a distributed file storage service, a proxy service to create TOR-like secure web browsing, a platform to host decentralized apps, and payments for micropayments and peer-to-peer transactions.
