Abstract
Delayed asynchronous file replication in a distributed file system is described. A first server receives requests to perform a updates to a first replica of a file. The first server sends, to a second server, an outcast instruction to set a second replica of the file to an out-of-date state. The first server performs the updates to the first replica without sending the updates to the second server. The first server receives a request for updates for the second replica from the second server. The first server transmits the updates to the second server to facilitate a heal operation of the second replica, where completion of the heal operation causes the out-of-date state of the second replica to be changed to an up-to-date state.
