Abstract
One example method includes receiving at a worker node, from each deduplication filesystem (DDFS) node in a group of DDFS nodes, respective parts of a fingerprint-file object dictionary, wherein each of the parts is created using a common fingerprint mask, merging, by the worker node, the parts, scanning the merged parts to update an intersection count between file objects stored at the DDFS nodes, generating, based on the scanning, an intersection matrix, and transferring the intersection matrix to a master node.
