Abstract
Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to management of big data storage and the physical removal of data via data access systems for large data processing environments having multiple application services and multiple storage services. In some embodiments, a method of physically removing data from a storage system provides for identifying one or more files needing data removal treatment, determining that a file needing data removal treatment should be queued, and populating a queue with the file. Determining that a file should be queued is based, at least in part, on a staleness tolerance. The method further provides for treating the file and replacing a previous version of the file in storage with the updated file. In some implementations, treating the file includes removing data from the file to create an updated file and may further include additional changes to the file.
