Claim 15:
16. A data processing system, comprising:
compute resources; and
a Network Interface controller (NIC), comprising:
a processor, and
a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations for managing storage of data in a distributed system, the operations comprising:
obtaining data for storage;
segmenting the data into chunks;
obtaining fingerprints for the chunks;
providing batches of the fingerprints to a storage;
after providing the batches of the fingerprints to the storage, providing, to the storage for storage, a first portion of the chunks corresponding to a first portion of the fingerprints that are new, wherein the first portion of the chunks are provided to the storage in response to receiving instructions from the storage for the first portion of the chunks; and

discarding, based on the instructions from the storage, the chunks without providing to the storage a second portion of the chunks corresponding to a second portion of the fingerprints that are not new.
