DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM BACKUP AND SYNCHRONIZATION
First Claim
1. At least one machine readable medium that is not a transitory propagating signal, the machine readable medium including instructions that, when executed by hardware of a node, cause the node to perform operations comprising:
- identifying, from a local data store of the node, a state of a file system element identified in a file system element definition, the state being one of a plurality of states and corresponding to a data distribution action, the file system element definition being one of a plurality of file system element definitions in a collection schema of a collection;
issuing, by the node in response to identifying the state, a communication to a list of participant nodes in furtherance of completion of the data distribution action, the list of participant nodes being a subset of a plurality of nodes that are members of the collection;
receiving a response to the communication from a participant node in the list of participant nodes; and
completing the data distribution action using content from the response.

Abstract
Systems and techniques for a distributed file system element collection are described herein. A node may identify a state of a file system element, which is identified in a file system element definition, from a local data store. The state corresponds to a distribution action. The file system element definition is one of a plurality of file system element definitions in a collection schema of a collection to which the node is a member. The node may, in response to identifying the state of the file system element, issue a communication to some members of the collection in furtherance of completion of the distribution action. A response may be received by the node from a participant node in the list of participant nodes. The node may complete the distribution action using content from the response.
