Abstract:
Embodiments relate to efficiently replicating data from a source storage space to a target storage space. The storage spaces share a common namespace of paths where content units are stored. A shallow cache is maintained for the target storage space. Each entry in the cache includes a hash of a content unit in the target storage space and associated hierarchy paths in the target storage space where the corresponding content unit is stored. When a set of content units in the source storage space is to be replicated at the target storage space, any content unit with a hash in the cache is replicated from one of the associated paths in the cache, thus avoiding having to replicate content from the source storage space.

Claim (Index 15):
Computer-readable storage hardware storing instructions configured to cause a computing device to perform a process, the storage hardware not comprising a signal, the process comprising:\n maintaining a storage comprised of content units, each content unit stored at a full path, each full path belonging to a same namespace, wherein some of the full paths contain instances of a same respective content unit; maintaining a location cache that indicates which content units are stored at which full paths in the storage, wherein, given an arbitrary content unit, full paths where respective instances of the arbitrary content unit are stored in the storage can be obtained based on a hash of the arbitrary content unit; receiving a first request to add a first target content unit to the storage at first target full paths in the namespace; responding to the first request by obtaining a first target hash of the first target content unit, obtaining a source full path from the location cache based on the target hash, and using the obtained source full path to copy a content unit at the source full path to each of the target full paths.
