Abstract:
In one embodiment, a cluster uses an extent store layer and a set of hash tables having a plurality of slots embodying extent metadata that describe write data of one or more write requests organized into one or more extents. One or more non-volatile logs (NVLogs) are maintained in the cluster. The one or more NVLogs include an extent store layer log maintained by the extent store layer. The extent store layer log records changes to the set of hash tables as a plurality of log stream structures, where each log stream structure is associated with a hash table. One or more storage devices of the cluster are organized as a plurality of log streams, where each log stream is associated with a corresponding log stream structure of the extent store layer log.
