Abstract
A method is described. The method includes receiving logs from multiple connector nodes, each of the logs having entries that describe changes made to a file system at its respective one of the connector nodes. The method includes constructing a directed acyclic graph (DAG) from the logs' respective entries, the DAG comprising nodes connected by flows, the nodes describing actions made to directories and files of the file system, wherein, a flow of the flows connects a subset of the nodes that describe actions made to a particular directory or file of the file system. The method includes removing one or more irrelevant nodes from the DAG. The method includes applying actions described by remaining nodes of the DAG to an object storage system having respective objects for directories and files of the file system.
