Abstract
One embodiment provides a system including a computer processor, a computer-readable hardware storage device, and program code embodied with the computer-readable hardware storage device for execution by the computer processor to implement a method that includes selecting a first blob for reclamation from a first data center. The first blob includes multiple erasure code groups. A first message is sent to a second data center indicating the first blob is to be reclaimed. A second message is sent to the second data center after reclaiming the first blob in the first data center. A global reclamation complete message is received from the second data center. The global reclamation complete message indicates a second blob in the second data center has been reclaimed. The global reclamation complete message is sent in response to the second data center receiving a local reclamation complete message from a third data center.
