Storage and Method for Adaptive Flushing in Log Structured Storage Systems

A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• monitoring data reduction information concerning a plurality of containers from a flush working set within a log memory system of a storage system, wherein the plurality of containers are associated with a storage object;
• determining an assigned working set size for a flusher based upon, at least in part, the data reduction information;
• generating the assigned working set for the flusher by adding one or more containers from the flush working set to the assigned working set based upon, at least in part, the assigned working set size;
• and
• flushing, using the flusher, the one or more containers from the assigned working set to persistent memory within the storage system.
