Motivation

Importance of storage space
Finding enough space to meet the demands of the customers
has been a huge challenge for cloud providers.
 Saving significant resources during web crawling, indexing,
and search.


Backup Strategies


To backup the data and replicate them across many
geographical locations.
Need for devising ingenious techniques to use the
storage space more efficiently.
Deduplication


Removing duplicate copies of files and storing only the
pointers to the original copy.
Block-level deduplication
Allows more granularity and hence offers a greater
reduction in storage space.
 Requires more processing power when compared to filelevel deduplication.


Use case
Storage of snapshots of virtual machine (VM) images in a
virtualized cloud environment.
 Detecting exact duplicates and near duplicates in web
pages.

Architecture
Cassandra Schema

create keyspace minhash;
create column family minhash_chunks with
column_type=Super;
 create column family minhash_filerecipe with
column_type=Super;
 create column family minhash_fullhash;


create keyspace files;

create column family files_minhash;
