SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SCALABLE OBJECT STORAGE

摘要

The present disclosure provides an advantageous systems and related methods for scalable object storage. One embodiment relates to a system that includes at least a manifest tracking subsystem and a chunk payload subsystem. The manifest tracking subsystem stores version manifests and encodes forward-references from the version manifests to chunks. The chunk payload subsystem stores the chunks and encodes back-references to version manifests that reference the chunk. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.

1. A system for providing distributed storage of data objects, the system comprising:
a manifest tracking subsystem comprising a plurality of manifest server computers communicatively interconnected by a network, the manifest tracking subsystem encoding forward-references from version manifests to chunks, wherein the chunks comprise sequences of payload bytes for objects stored in the system, and wherein the version manifests comprise encodings of metadata for specific versions of objects; and a chunk payload subsystem comprising a plurality of chunk server computers communicatively interconnected by the network, the chunk payload subsystem storing which stores the chunks and encoding back-references to version manifests that reference the chunks.
