Abstract
Example object storage systems, meta object generators, and methods provide meta objects for replication of configuration data between data object stores. A meta object may be generated that includes configuration data. A meta object identifier may be assigned to the meta object. The meta object may be stored in a first object store with related data objects and may be replicated to a second object data store with the related data objects.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a first object data store;
- a second object data store;
- a metadata store associated with the first object data store and configured to store configuration data for the first object data store, wherein the configuration data includes configuration parameters for rebuilding the configuration data;
- and
- a meta object generator configured to:
- generate a meta object, wherein:
- the meta object is a data object containing object data;
- and
- the object data includes meta object data selected from the configuration parameters;
- assign a meta object identifier to the meta object;
- and
- store the meta object with related data objects in the first object data store, wherein a plurality of data objects replicated to the second object data store include the meta object and the related data objects.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- generating a meta object, wherein:
- the meta object is a data object containing object data;
- the object data includes meta object data selected from configuration data;
- the configuration data configures a first object data store;
- and
- the configuration data includes configuration parameters for rebuilding the configuration data;
- assigning a meta object identifier to the meta object;
- storing the meta object with related data objects in the first object data store;
- and
- replicating a plurality of data objects to a second object data store, wherein the plurality of data objects includes the meta object and the related data objects.
