Abstract
A computer-implemented method for performing lookups on distributed deduplicated data systems may include (1) identifying a collection of deduplicated data stored within a plurality of nodes, (2) identifying a request to locate a deduplicated object of the collection within the plurality of nodes, (3) identifying a fingerprint of the deduplicated object, the fingerprint being generated using an algorithm that maps deduplicated objects onto a fingerprint space, (4) directing the request, based on a partitioning scheme that divides the fingerprint space among the plurality of nodes, to a first node within the plurality of nodes that is responsible for forwarding requests pertaining to a partition of the fingerprint space that includes the fingerprint, and (5) forwarding the request from the first node to a second node identified by the first node as corresponding to the fingerprint. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
