Abstract:
Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for tiering metadata. The method includes selecting a consecutive range of addresses of a logical device having a parent data structure associated therewith maintaining a first set of hash values at a first granularity of the logical device. A second hash value then may be calculated over the consecutive range of addresses of the logical device at a second granularity of the logical device and inserted into a child data structure associated with the parent data structure. Entries in the parent data structure at the first granularity for the consecutive range of addresses then may be freed in favor of the second hash value at the second granularity for the consecutive range of addresses inserted into the child data structure, for storing hash values for other addresses of the logical device.
