Abstract
A technique performs data reduction on host data of a write request during ingest under certain circumstances. Therein, raw host data of a write request is placed from the host into a data cache. Further, a data reducing ingest operation is performed that reduces the raw host data from the data cache into reduced host data (e.g., via deduplication, compression, combinations thereof, etc.). After completion of the data reducing ingest operation, a late-binding operation is performed that updates a mapper with ability to access the reduced host data from secondary storage. Such ingest-time data reduction may be enabled/disabled (e.g., turned on or off) per input/output (I/O) operation (e.g., used only for relatively large asynchronous I/O operations) and/or activated in situations in which the ingest bandwidth is becoming a bottleneck.
