JuiceFS is similar to HDFS/CephFS/Lustre, so it MUST has a component to manage metadata, similar to NameNode of HDFS or MDS of CephFS, this point of failure is the problem we have to address.

The underlying blob store systems is similar to DataNode or OSD in other distributed file system, could be slower than them a little bit because of the middle layers, the overall performance is determined by the disks.

So we can expect similar performance comparing to HDFS/CephFS, the benchmark results also confirm that.
