Abstract: A method for proactively rebuilding user data in a plurality of storage nodes of a storage cluster is provided. The method includes distributing user data and metadata throughout the plurality of storage nodes such that the plurality of storage nodes can read the user data, using erasure coding, despite loss of two of the storage nodes. The method includes determining that one of the storage nodes is unreachable and determining to rebuild the user data for the one of the storage nodes that is unreachable. The method includes reading the user data across a remainder of the plurality of storage nodes, using the erasure coding and writing the user data across the remainder of the plurality of storage nodes, using the erasure coding. A plurality of storage nodes within a single chassis that can proactively rebuild the user data stored within the storage nodes is also provided.

Abstract: A method of distributed file deletion, performed by a storage system, is provided. The method includes receiving, at the storage system, a request to delete a directory and contents of the directory and adding the directory to a first set, listed in a memory in the storage system. The method includes operating on the first set, by examining each directory in the first set to identify subdirectories, adding each identified subdirectory to the first set as a directory, and adding each examined directory to a second set listed in the memory. The method includes deleting in a distributed manner across the storage system without concern for order, contents of directories, and the directories, listed in the second set.

Abstract: A processor-based method for locating data and metadata closely together in a storage system is provided. The method includes writing a first range of a file and a first metadata relating to attributes of the file into at least one segment controlled by a first authority of the file. The method includes delegating, by the first authority, a second authority for a second range of the file, and writing the second range of the file and second metadata relating to the attributes of the file into at least one segment controlled by the second authority.

Abstract: A method for distribution of directories in a storage system is provided. The method includes distributing information, regarding location in the storage system of a plurality of files in a directory, to a plurality of owners in a plurality of storage nodes of the storage system, wherein ownership of differing subsets of the plurality of files of the directory is distributed among differing owners in differing storage nodes. The method includes receiving a request for location information in the storage system of a file of the plurality of files in the directory and determining, based on a file name of the file and an identity of the directory, which of the plurality of owners has ownership of the file and the location information for the file.

Abstract: Data transformation offloading in an artificial intelligence infrastructure that includes one or more storage systems and one or more graphical processing unit (‘GPU’) servers, including: storing, within the storage system, a dataset; identifying, in dependence upon one or more machine learning models to be executed on the GPU servers, one or more transformations to apply to the dataset; and generating, by the storage system in dependence upon the one or more transformations, a transformed dataset.

Abstract: Systems and methods of deduplication aware scalable content placement are described. A method may include receiving data to be stored on one or more nodes of a storage array and calculating a plurality of hashes corresponding to the data. The method further includes determining a first subset of the plurality of hashes, determining a second subset of the plurality of hashes of the first subset, and generating a node candidate placement list. The method may further include sending the first subset to one or more nodes represented on the node candidate placement list and receiving, from the nodes represented on the node candidate placement list, characteristics corresponding to the nodes represented on the candidate placement list. The method may further include identifying one of the one or more nodes represented on the candidate placement list in view of the characteristic and sending the data to the identified node.

Abstract: A method of processing transactions associated with a command in a storage system is provided. The method includes receiving, at a first authority of the storage system, a command relating to user data. The method includes sending a transaction of the command, from the first authority to a second authority of the storage system, wherein a token accompanies the transaction and writing data in accordance with the transaction as permitted by the token into a partition that is allocated to the second authority in a storage device of the storage system.
