The metadata includes fingerprint sequences according to which the segments should be assembled. A partial match is found when a prefix of the term is found at an end of a segment or a suffix is found at a beginning of the segment.

When a fingerprint in the sequence has been recorded, a check of a next fingerprint in the sequence is made to see if it has been recorded as having the partial match. If the next fingerprint has been recorded, the first object is reported as having the term.

Abstract: Embodiments presented herein describe techniques for deduplicating chunks of data across multiple clusters. A process executing in a storage system identifies one or more chunks in an incoming stream of data. For each chunk, a first fingerprint corresponding to the chunk is generated. The process determines whether the first fingerprint matches a second fingerprint listed in a corresponding entry in a deduplication map. Each entry of the deduplication map corresponds to a chunk stored in a location in one of the storage clusters. Upon determining that the first fingerprint matches the second fingerprint, the process writes, to a local persistent storage, a pointer referencing the location in that storage cluster.
