Abstract
A computer-implemented method for natural batching of I/O operations on a replication log may include: 1) identifying a replication log that records the order of writes within a cluster replication system, 2) determining that the replication log is unavailable, 3) queuing incoming I/O operations for the replication log in a single batch while the replication log is unavailable, 4) determining that the replication log has become available, 5) ceasing queuing of incoming I/O operations for the replication log based on the determination that the replication log has become available, and 6) grouping a plurality of I/O operations in the single batch for processing in parallel by assigning a same generation number to the plurality of I/O operations. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
