Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: transforming an object storage dump into an object store table by a table generator container, wherein the object storage dump includes at least objects within an object store that are marked for deletion; transmitting records for objects from the object store table to reducer containers, such that each reducer container receives object records for at least one object, the object records comprising all object records for the at least one object, wherein a record includes an object that is collected as garbage only if the record has passed a grace period established for the object store; generating a set of cleanup tasks by the reducer containers by each reducer container sorting the records for an object such that the objects are placed in ranked order according to time, evaluating the records in chronological order, and determining records that include objects that are collected as garbage; and executing the cleanup tasks by a cleanup agent.
