1. A method for distributed management of a file hierarchy of a clustered file system comprising: accessing a cluster file hierarchy to determine location of a file in response to a request to write to a file, wherein a first node maintains the cluster file hierarchy; determining that management of a fileset object, which represents a fileset that includes the file, has been delegated to a second node based, at least in part, on said accessing the cluster file hierarchy; accessing a node file hierarchy maintained by the second node, wherein said cluster file hierarchy represents filesets of the clustered file system and the node hierarchy represents a subset of one or more of the filesets; and determining location of the file based, at least in part, on said accessing the node file hierarchy.
