SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESOLVING TRANSIENT AND LOCALIZED ERRORS IN A HYBRID CLOUD CACHE
A system for resolving transient and localized errors in a hybrid cloud cache. The system may include a subsystem within a hybrid cloud cache that provides a way to handle errors associated with uploading files or folders to a cloud. The subsystem may be used to recover files and folders created by a user that could not be pushed to the cloud, while also ensuring that metadata and data are not lost. The subsystem may work with the transaction processing subsystem of the hybrid cloud cache to facilitate the release of transactions associated with the files and folders that could not be pushed to the cloud. By doing so, the subsystem assists in unblocking subsequent transactions or user operations and allows the hybrid cloud cache to upload files and folders to the cloud without interruption.
1 . A system, comprising:
a set of computer-executable instructions; and
a processor or processors that execute the set of instructions, wherein when executed, the instructions cause the processor or processors to perform a set of operations comprising:
receiving a request to upload a file to a cloud platform;
associating the received request with a corresponding transaction in a journal of a hybrid cloud cache of the system;
determining if a parent folder of the file is in a metadata file system of a subsystem of the hybrid cloud cache used to recover files;
if the parent folder of the file is in the metadata file system of the subsystem, then moving the file to a data cache file system of the subsystem;
if the parent folder of the file is not in the metadata file system of the subsystem, then attempting to push the file to the cloud platform;
determining if a failure occurred while attempting to push the file to the cloud platform; and
if the failure occurred, then moving the file to the data cache file system of the subsystem.
