Abstract

Embodiments for, in an object storage environment, managing data replication between first and second sites of a distributed computing environment by one or more processors. A first pass metadata hash is calculated for each of the objects in an object-set that is subsequently transferred from the first to the second site. Responsive to the second site, a second pass metadata hash is calculated for remaining objects of the object-set that are identified by the second site at a sub-object level using a predetermined size.
