Title: Method and system for semantic metadata compression in a two-tier storage system using copy-on-write

Abstract

Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for managing metadata. The method includes determining a common characteristic of metadata entries for a plurality of files in a directory of a file system and computing a representative metadata entry for the plurality of metadata entries according to the common characteristic of the metadata entries. The plurality of metadata entries in the file system then may be represented according to the computed representative metadata entry.

Method and system for reducing metadata overhead in a two-tier storage architecture

Patent Bent, John M.; Faibish, Sorin; Ting, Dennis Pei Jean; ...

Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for maintaining dynamically loadable namespaces. The method includes presenting, to an application, a file system having a global single namespace (SN) comprising a plurality of dynamically-loadable namespaces (DLNs) maintained in a capacity tier (CT) of object storage of a storage system. In response to a job submitted by the application, dynamically loading a first dynamically-loadable namespace, including the metadata only for the first dynamically-loadable namespace, associated with the job from the capacity tier of object storage into a fast tier (FT) of storagemore » of the storage system. « less
