Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for safely and efficiently migrating applications from one application server to another is provided. A termination request is received. When an API call has been sent by a first application since a last recurring checkpoint, the sent API call is processed one of several ways. Sometimes the API call is immediately terminated. Alternatively, the first application server waits a waiting period for an answer to the API call, and during the waiting period any new API calls are captured and not sent. Upon completion of the waiting period, if no answer has been returned, the API call is terminated. Then a new checkpoint of the application is taken in order to obtain a new checkpoint data set. The application is then migrated to another application server using the new checkpoint data set.

Abstract: In general, the invention relates to supporting multiple different character encodings in the same file system. In one embodiment, a method is provided for filename lookup that supports multiple character encodings. The method comprises storing filename data in a first character encoding into an indexed data structure. The method further comprises receiving filename data in a second encoding. The method also comprises looking up filename data in the indexed data structure using the second encoding.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system and method is provided for reverse lookups using a reverse lookup hint stored in metadata associated with a file or directory. The reverse lookup hint is used to retrieve an entry, comprising a name of the file or directory, which is stored in a map structure related to a parent directory of the file or directory. In an embodiment, the reverse lookup hint comprises a hash value generated from the name of the file or directory.

Abstract: One embodiment includes a process for reverse lookups using a map structure and a structure being referenced by the map structure that comprises receiving a structure that comprises a reference to the structure and a reverse lookup hint; locating one or more entries in a map structure that correspond to the reverse lookup hint; and identifying at least one matching entry in the map structure that corresponds to the structure.
