Abstract
Establishing a guarantee for maintaining a replication relationship between object stores during a communications outage, an embodiment including identifying, by a first storage system, respective local clock values of one or more second storage systems, wherein the first storage system and the one or more second storage systems are among a plurality of storage systems replicating an object store, wherein the plurality of storage systems are configured to receive requests directed to the replicated object store; determining, by the first storage system in dependence upon the respective local clock values, respective clock differences of the one or more second storage systems relative to the first storage system; and ordering, by the first storage system, one or more updates to the replicated object store in dependence upon the respective clock differences.
