Abstract

Methods and systems are provided herein to allow efficient management of data flowing in and out of an archival data storage system. In an embodiment, storage entities keep very little state information in memory to provide higher throughput. Further, storage entities may send data in large chunks to facilitate high throughput. Techniques such as batching and coalescing may be used by various storage entities to provide efficiency.
