Using global namespace addressing in a dispersed storage network
Abstract:
A method begins with a processing module of a dispersed storage network (DSN) receiving a first data object for storage in the DSN from a requesting entity based on an identifier associated with the first data object. The method continues with the processing module storing the first data object in the DSN, facilitating storage of the first data object in a cache memory using an address-based map and determining whether to transfer one or more data objects of a plurality of data objects from the cache memory. Based on a determination to transfer one or more data objects, the method continues by identifying a data object and another processing module to receive the data object, initiating a capacity query for the other processing module. The method continues with the processing module facilitating transfer of the second data object to the other processing module, receiving a transfer confirmation message; and facilitating updating the address-based map.
