Abstract
Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) uses a specific method for disk capacity management, where disk space is partitioned into a set of blocks of fixed size called chunks. Chunk data can comprise user data and all kinds of metadata. The replication mechanism implemented in ECS works at the chunk level. However, object level data can be used to provide visibility for client applications. Thus, object arrival can be determined to track replication progress at the object level for systems with a replication mechanism that works at the chunk level.
