Abstract

A request for an operation on a directory is received that requires a hydration of one or more files within the directory. A process is initiated to hydrate dehydrated descendent files of the folder. During the hydration process, attempts to introduce new dehydrated files in the folder are blocked. The request is processed when the hydration is complete.
