Abstract
An outcast index in a distributed file system is described. A first server can receive an indication that a first replica stored on the first server is to be modified in view of a second replica stored on a second server. The first replica and the second replica are replicas of a same file. The first server updates metadata associated with the first replica to indicate an outcast state of the first replica. The first server receives an indication that the modification of the first replica is complete. The first server updates the metadata associated with the first replica to remove the outcast state of the first replica.
