Abstract
Intelligent management of stub files in hierarchical storage is provided by: in response to identifying a file to migrate from a file system to offline storage, providing metadata for the file to a machine learning engine; receiving a stub profile for the file from the machine learning engine that indicates an offset from a beginning of the file and a length from the offset for previewing the file; and migrating the portion of the file from the file system to an offline storage based on the stub profile. In some embodiments this further comprises: monitoring file system operations; in response to detecting a read operation of the portion of the file: determining a file type; providing file data to the machine learning engine; and performing a supervised learning operation based on the file type and the file data to update the machine learning engine.
