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.

A system for handling Implicit transactions in a hybrid cloud cache. The hybrid cloud cache maintains folders in a metadata file system that includes a hierarchy of cached folders, and maintains a meta-file containing metadata of files and folders. The system obtains a meta-file from a cloud platform and compares that to a meta-file obtained from the hybrid cloud cache. An object associated with an Implicit metadata transaction is transferred to an internal namespace of the hybrid cloud cache if the comparison indicates that certain conditions are met. The system may perform a bottom-up traversal of the namespace and may abort the traversal if an outstanding explicit transaction for the object is present or the object exists in the cloud platform. An object may be moved to a temporary storage location if there is no explicit transaction on it and the object does not exist in the cloud platform.

A system for facilitating upload file optimization via transaction transformation. A request is received for an operation to upload a file to the cloud. The system bypasses a transaction processing (sub)system and attempts to upload the file to a staging area of the cloud. When the upload transaction is ready to be executed, the system determines an upload status of the file. The system transfers the file from the staging area to an intended destination if the file has been uploaded to the staging area. If the file is not yet uploaded to the staging area, the system determines if an upload operation failed. If an upload operation did not fail, the system waits for the upload to finish prior to transferring the file to the intended destination. If the upload operation did fail, the system uploads the file to the intended destination.

System and method for facilitating optimization of file upload operations via transaction transformation

A system and methods for grouping and executing transactions concurrently while ensuring hybrid cloud cache integrity and consistency. The system identifies upload operations in a journal and associates each such operation with an upload transaction. The upload operations may be grouped into a group of concurrently executed upload operations. If an upload transaction finishes uploading a file and there is a most recent older upload transaction having a pending upload, then the system adds the completed transaction and a dependency queue associated with that transaction to a dependency queue of the most recent older upload transaction. If the current upload transaction finishes the upload operation and the transaction has an oldest transaction identifier of the group, then the system adds a PUSHDONE record for that transaction to a hybrid cloud cache journal along with a PUSHDONE record for the other transactions depending on that completed transaction.
