Locating previous versions of an object in a storage cluster
Abstract:
Technology for accessing previous versions of data objects within a storage cluster including multiple storage volumes under a common namespace is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the network storage cluster having multiple cooperative storage nodes receives a namespace identifier for a previous version of a data object. The namespace identifier includes a namespace path containing a volume junction and a time indicator indicating a point in time when the previous version of the data object existed. The network storage cluster identifies a storage volume within the network storage cluster using the volume junction. The volume junction points to a root directory of a file system of the storage volume. The network storage cluster locates, based on the namespace path, the previous version of the data object within a snapshot copy of the storage volume, wherein the snapshot copy is identified by the time indicator.
