Abstract

A method, system, and computer usable program product for parallel data redundancy removal are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A plurality of values is computed for a record in a plurality of records stored in a storage device. The plurality of values for the record is distributed to corresponding queues in a plurality of queues, wherein each of the plurality of queues is associated with a corresponding section of a Bloom filter. A determination is made whether each value distributed to the corresponding queues for the record is indicated by a corresponding value in the corresponding section of the Bloom filter. The record is identified as a redundant record in response to a determination that each value distributed to the corresponding queues for the record is indicated by a corresponding value in the corresponding section of the Bloom filter.
