ABSTRACT:
In a distributed system, a server may distribute a primary object copy having one or more chunks of data associated with a primary per-chunk metadata copy to a client over a network. The client may selectively fetch and update the one or more chunks of data of the primary object copy based on the primary per-chunk metadata copy. For example, by determining at a client whether a portion of the data in a cached data object, such as a file, is changed relative to a copy of a data object for the cached data object at a server, less than all of the data of the cached data object may be replaced with a corresponding data in the copy of the data object.
