Abstract
An apparatus includes a processor component to receive a node device identifier defining an ordering among multiple node devices and among multiple blocks of data distributed among the multiple node devices, and transmit a size of a first subset of the multiple blocks stored within the node device to a control device. In response to receiving instructions to receive a second subset from another node device, perform operations including: receive and store the second subset; group the blocks of data of the first and second subsets into multiple segments in an order that corresponds to the ordering among the multiple blocks, wherein each segment is sized to fit minimum and maximum sizes for transmission to storage device(s); transmit the multiple segments to the storage device(s); and relay multiple segment identifiers from the storage device(s) to the control device in an order corresponding to the ordering among the multiple segments.
