Abstract
A method for execution by a dispersed storage (DS) cleanup unit includes determining a dead session of a DSN. A subset of a plurality of eventual consistency intent names is generated by identifying eventual consistency intent names that include a session identifier corresponding to the dead session in a prefix of the eventual consistency intent names, where the subset of the plurality of eventual consistency intent names corresponds to all eventual consistency intents of the dead session. A subset of storage units responsible for storing the all eventual consistency intents of the dead session is determined based on the prefix of the eventual consistency intent names in the subset. All eventual consistency intents of the dead session are retrieved from the subset of storage units, and execution of eventual consistency updates indicated in the all eventual consistency intents of the dead session is facilitated.
