Title: Metadata compression

Abstract

A computer-executable method, system, and computer program product for managing a Parallel-Logged File System (PLFS) on a data storage system, wherein the data storage system is in communication with an application that updates the data storage system with checkpoint data, the computer-executable method, system, and computer program product comprising receiving a first checkpoint including data from the application; analyzing the data in the first checkpoint to determine whether a pattern exists in the checkpoint data; and upon a positive determination, adding the pattern into PLFS.
