Abstract

Techniques are provided for replay of metadata and data operations. During initial execution of operations, identifiers of objects modified by the execution of each operation are identified and stored in association with the operations. When the operations are to be replayed (e.g., executed again, such as part of a replication operation or as part of flushing content from a cache to persistent storage), the identifiers are evaluated to determine which operations are independent with respect to one another and which operations are dependent with respect to one another. In this way, independent operations are executed in parallel and dependent operations are executed serially with respect to the operations from the dependent operations depend.
