Abstract:
The data of data objects stored in a DDOS are converted from one data format to another. The conversion is performed while the system is live and available to process requests for access to the data objects being converted. The conversion techniques do not require taking the DDOS offline. The conversion techniques also do not require locking a data object for the entire conversion of the data object.
