Abstract
A validation procedure employs metadata reuse using composite path signatures to make a metadata reuse determination. The procedure is performed as part of validating a set of data objects. Validating an initial subset of data objects generates N different sets of object-specific metadata, each set of which is associated with a different composite path signature. When subsequently validating another data object, a composite path signature is generated for the data object and compared with the composite path signatures of the N different sets of object-specific metadata. If a match is found, then the object-specific metadata of the matching composite path signature is reused for the data object. The object-specific metadata is remapped to an in-memory representation of the data object.
