Abstract:
A destination node receives metadata for a file, via replication, from a source node. If a legacy location in the metadata for the file does not include any new value for a legacy location in local metadata for the file, then the destination node stores the metadata to a local data structure. If the legacy location in the metadata includes any new value for the legacy location in the local metadata, and the new value is any new grouping tag, then the destination node extracts the new grouping tag from the legacy location in the metadata. The destination node constructs a key based on the legacy location in the metadata and uses the constructed key to search for an alternative location in the metadata for the file, for the new grouping tag. The destination node stores the new grouping tag in the alternative location in the metadata.
