Abstract

In at least one embodiment, processing can include determining, by a first node, an update to a metadata (MD) page, wherein the first node includes a first cache; sending, from the first node to a second node, a commit message including the update to the MID page; receiving, at the second node, the commit message from the first node; and storing, by the second node, an updated version of the MID page in a second cache of the second node only if the second cache of the second node includes a cached copy of the MD page, wherein the updated version of the MID page, as stored in the second cache of the second node, is constructed by applying the first update to the cached copy of the first MD page.
