Abstract

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and computing devices that accelerate data access requests. With this technology, a hierarchy of a plurality of objects is inserted into a location database. Each of at least a subset of the plurality of objects comprises a physical storage location for data stored in a filesystem. One or more of the plurality of objects includes an object version number and a parent version number of a parent one of the plurality of objects. A determination is made when an invalidation event has occurred in the filesystem. The invalidation event is associated with one of the plurality of objects. The object version number for the one of the plurality of objects is modified to invalidate one or more of the subset of the objects, when the determining indicates that the invalidation event has occurred in the filesystem.
