Systems and Methods for Depth Based Cache Authoritativeness

Abstract: techniques for depth-based cache authoritativeness are provided. a method includes receiving a request for an object maintained at long-term storage (lts) system and associated with a hierarchical directory; retrieving the object from the lts system; storing the object in the cache such that the object is associated with metadata indicating (i) a storage time at which the storage occurred and (ii) whether the object is authoritative; detecting a stimulus to determine whether the object is authoritative; responsive to detecting the stimulus, determining whether the object is authoritative; and responsive to determining that the object in the cache is non-authoritative, setting the metadata indicating whether the object is authoritative to indicate that the object is not authoritative.
