Synchronization improvements

A machine implemented method for processing data, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a second data processing system, an initiation of a synchronization session between a first data processing system and the second data processing system, the synchronization session comprising at least a first portion and a second portion;
• performing, by the second data processing system, the first portion of the synchronization session;
• generating, by the second data processing system, a sync anchor checkpoint indicating completion of the first portion of the synchronization session;
• and
• transmitting, by the second data processing system, the sync anchor checkpoint to the first data processing system prior to performing the second portion of the synchronization session, wherein data of a first class to be synchronized is partitioned into a first partition and a second partition, and wherein the first partition is synchronized within the first portion and the second partition is synchronized within the second portion.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions which when executed by a data processing system cause the data processing system to perform a method of processing data, the method comprising:

• initiating, at a first data processing system, a synchronization session between the first data processing system and a second data processing system, the synchronization session comprising at least a first portion and a second portion, including
• assigning a first partition of data in a first class to be synchronized within the first portion, and
• assigning a second partition of the data in the first class to be synchronized within the second portion;
• performing, by the first data processing system, the first portion of the synchronization session;
• and
• receiving, by the first data processing system, a sync anchor checkpoint from the second data processing system after the first portion of the synchronization session has been completed, wherein the sync anchor checkpoint indicates to the first data processing system that the first portion of the synchronization session is complete before the second portion is complete.

A first data processing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instruction, which when executed from the memory, cause the processor to perform operations, including
• initiating a synchronization session between the first data processing system and a second data processing system, the synchronization session comprising at least a first portion and a second portion, including
• assigning a first partition of data in a first class to be synchronized within the first portion, and
• assigning a second partition of the data in the first class to be synchronized within the second portion;
• performing the first portion of the synchronization session;
• and
• receiving a sync anchor checkpoint from the second data processing system after the first portion of the synchronization session has been completed, wherein the sync anchor checkpoint indicates to the first data processing system that the first portion of the synchronization session is complete before the second portion is complete.

A second data processing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instruction, which when executed from the memory, cause the processor to perform operations, including
• receiving an initiation of a synchronization session between a first data processing system and the second data processing system, the synchronization session comprising at least a first portion and a second portion;
• performing the first portion of the synchronization session;
• generating a sync anchor checkpoint indicating completion of the first portion of the synchronization session;
• and
• transmitting the sync anchor checkpoint to the first data processing system prior to performing the second portion of the synchronization session, wherein data of a first class to be synchronized is partitioned into a first partition and a second partition, and wherein the first partition is synchronized within the first portion and the second partition is synchronized within the second portion.
