Abstract
A client device accesses a shared data system and begins moving data from one location to another. The client device generates a tombstone object that indicates that includes metadata indicating that the data has been moved. When another client accesses the data at the old location, it encounters the tombstone and begins accessing the data at the new location. If the data has not already been completely moved to the new location, the second client to access the data assists in transferring the data to the new location.
