Abstract:
A file shard store includes high performance encoding and compaction circuits. An apparatus and its method of operation avoids duplicate storage of file fragments. A plurality of tables control write operations into a plurality of log segments. Shard keys are transferred to uniquely identify fragments of files which may have been previously stored and associated with one or more of client subscribers. An apparatus comprises a plurality of location/subscription tables, a shard transfer circuit, a storage control circuit, an append-to-log circuit coupled to a large storage array, and a log segment compactor circuit.
