    Abstract: An indexing technique provides an index data structure for efficient retrieval of a snapshot from a long-term storage service (LTSS) of an archival storage system. The snapshot is generated from typed data of a logical entity, such as a virtual disk (vdisk). The data of the snapshot is replicated to a frontend data service of the LTSS sequentially and organized as one or more data objects for storage by a backend data service of LTSS in an object store of the archival storage system. Metadata associated with the snapshot (i.e., snapshot metadata) is recorded as a log and persistently stored on storage media local to the frontend data service. The snapshot metadata includes information describing the snapshot data, e.g., a logical offset range of a snapshot of the vdisk and, thus, is used to construct the index data structure. Notably, construction of the index data structure is deferred until after the entirety of the snapshot data has been replicated and received by the frontend data service.

    Abstract: A reference snapshot selection technique is configured to select a reference snapshot resolution algorithm used to determine an appropriate reference snapshot that may be employed to perform incremental snapshot replication of workload data between primary and secondary sites in a data replication environment. A reference resolution procedure is configured to process a set of constraints from the data replication environment to dynamically select the reference snapshot resolution algorithm based on a figure of merit that satisfies administrative constraints to reduce or optimize resource utilization in the data replication environment.

    Abstract: A technique enables coordination of unrelated software components to facilitate extensive recovery point management on a snapshot or recovery point through the use of a flexible tag structure. The tag is organized and arranged as a {key=value,[value] . . . } structure wherein the key denotes an operation that requires coordination between the unrelated software components and the value(s) denote multi-cardinality that provide parameters for coordination of the operation. The multi-cardinality aspect of the flexible tag structure provides a set of values associated with the key of the tag that enables a software component and/or protocol to insert its value(s) into the tag structure for its interpretation. The technique thus provides an extensible model where multiple components/protocols use the tag to coordinate operations on the RP by conveying certain meaning/interpretations of the tag and its values.

    Abstract: A lazy index construction technique efficiently and cost effectively manages creation and storage of an index data structure based on characteristics of storage media used by an archival storage system. The index data structure (index) is configured to reference snapshot data of snapshots stored in the archival storage system. The technique is configured to defer creation and storage of the index on the archival storage system in a lazy manner until all snapshot data is received by a replication receiver and stored on the storage media so that updates/changes to the index on the storage media are minimized. The technique may be used with any type or combination of (i) “overwrite” data structure embodied as an index (i.e., an index data structure with overwrite capabilities) stored in an (ii) archival storage system having storage media (e.g., an object store) that is not conducive to overwrite capabilities.

    Abstract: A technique improves storage efficiency of an object store configured to maintain numerous snapshots for long-term storage in an archival storage system by efficiently determining data that is exclusively owned by an expiring snapshot to allow deletion of the expiring snapshot from the object store. The technique involves managing index data structures to enable efficient garbage collection across a very large number of data objects. When a snapshot expires, the technique obviates the need to scan the numerous snapshot data objects to determine which index structures are no longer needed and can be reclaimed (garbage collected). The technique is directed to management of underlying storage based on different sets of policies. When certain snapshots expire and are ready for deletion, the technique is directed to finding those data blocks that are no longer referenced (used) by any valid snapshots.

    Abstract: A bypassing technique bypasses an indexing service and provides a bypass data path for transferring/retrieving snapshots from a production cluster to an object store. In an embodiment, the production cluster may determine how extents of the snapshots are packed into objects of the object store and transfers the snapshots directly to the object store over the bypass data path. Once the snapshot transfer is completed, the production cluster provides location metadata as to how the snapshot extents are packed into objects to the indexing service. The indexing service is invoked to create an index of the location metadata and is not involved in the data transfer of the snapshots. In another embodiment, the production cluster identifies a snapshot to restore and queries the indexing service to compute the deltas between the snapshot to be restored and a reference snapshot. The indexing service returns a set of segments that indicates the changed delta regions between the two snapshots. The production cluster then issues a direct read to the object store over the bypass data path to read the changed delta segments.
