  • Method for efficient caching and enumerating objects in distributed storage systems
    Patent number: 6970975
    Abstract: A method for performing efficient caching through an enumeration process is provided. The objects residing on the storage medium are cached in the order that these objects are kept in the directory of the storage medium. As a result, the directory content is enumerated in the cache. Therefore, the cache does not have to be associated with the server layout. Moreover, it is further possible to support a hierarchy of distributed caches using the disclosed invention.
