ABSTRACT:
A data processing system and method uses metadata associated with data to be retrieved from storage to identify further data to be retrieve at least a portion of that further data from the storage in accordance with a prefetch policy. A first interface receives a data access request from an application, and a prefetcher reads metadata associated with a file and uses the metadata to identify further data to be prefetched and placed in storage or memory having a performance greater than the performance of persistent storage.
