FIXED CONTENT STORAGE WITHIN A PARTITIONED CONTENT PLATFORM USING NAMESPACES, WITH DISPOSITION SERVICE |
摘要 |
A content platform (or "cluster") that comprises a redundant array of independent nodes is logically partitioned. Using a web-based interface, an administrator defines one or more "tenants" within the cluster, wherein a tenant has a set of attributes: namespaces, administrative accounts, data access accounts, and a permission mask. A namespace is a logical partition of the cluster that serves as a collection of objects typically associated with at least one defined application. Each namespace has a private file system with respect to other namespaces. This approach enables a user to segregate cluster data into logical partitions. Using the administrative interface, a namespace associated with a given tenant is selectively configured without affecting a configuration of at least one other namespace in the set of namespaces. One configuration option is a "disposition service" that, once enabled for a namespace, automatically deletes objects that were once under retention and whose retention time has expired. Preferably, the disposition service deletes objects that do not have a "retention hold" associated therewith. The service enables the content platform to automatically reclaim cluster capacity while minimizing external involvement and archive load. |
