Abstract

A method for serializer maintenance and coalescing in a distributed object store (DOS) including a first partition and a second partition, involving requesting an update of an object, wherein the object includes an active globally unique identifier (AGUID) object and at least one version globally unique identifier (VGUID) object, wherein the least one VGUID object includes a first generation number and a first serializer name, determining whether a first serializer is located in the first partition using the first serializer name, wherein the first serializer is associated with the first generation number, if the first serializer is not located in the first partition, constructing a second serializer using the first serializer name, assigning a second generation number to the second serializer, obtaining an order of the update to the object using the second serializer, and creating a new VGUID object.
