Abstract

See full text

A computer-implemented method is provided for concurrent file and object protocol access. The method includes receiving a notification that indicates storage of an object by an object-based client, and creating a clone of the object. Also, the method includes providing a file-based client access to the clone of the object. Further, the method includes returning, in response to one or more read requests for the object received from one or more object-based clients while the file-based client modifies the clone of the object, the object to the one or more object-based clients. Moreover, the method includes, after the file-based client has finished modifying the clone of the object, replacing the object with an updated object based on the modified clone of the object.
