Abstract

In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for namespace and content manipulation within a storage system includes: defining policy rule(s), each policy rule dictating: how namespaces within the storage system may be transformed; and/or how content stored within the storage system may be transformed; receiving a request for access to a particular data set stored within the storage system; parsing the request to determine one or more transformations requested therein and/or required thereby; determining whether the particular data set is compliant with the one or more transformations; in response to determining the particular data set is compliant with the one or more transformations, providing access to the particular data set; and in response to determining the particular data set is not compliant with the one or more transformations, performing the one or more transformations to generate a transformed data set, and providing access to the transformed data set.
