Abstract
Example object storage systems, replication managers, and methods provide meta objects for priority replication of configuration data between data object stores. A meta object may be generated that includes configuration data. Data objects are selected for replication from a first replication queue. Meta objects associated with the data objects in the first replication queue are replicated, independent of the first replication queue, between object data stores.
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;
- a meta object generator configured to generate a meta object, wherein the meta object includes meta object data selected from the configuration data;
- and
- a replication manager configured to:
- select data objects from a first replication queue;
- replicate the selected data objects from the first object data store to the second object data store;
- and
- replicate, independent of the first replication queue, the meta object from the first object data store to the second object data store.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- generating a meta object, wherein the meta object includes meta object data selected from configuration data for a first object data store;
- selecting, using a first replication queue, data objects from the first object data store;
- replicating selected data objects from the first object data store to a second object data store;
- and
- replicating, independent of the first replication queue, the meta object from the first object data store to the second object data store.
