A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240036773A1) discloses a method for sub-cluster recovery in a data storage environment with multiple nodes. The method involves creating a partition group index to index data items into partition groups, deduplicating the data items stored in a node concurrently with indexing, formatting the deduplicated data items into a recovery file based on the partition group index, and loading the recovery file onto a different set of nodes for restoration. The patent also includes claims related to recovering nodes, accessing original file locations, generating per node data, and determining duplicates before deduplication.

Furthermore, the patent describes an apparatus for sub-cluster recovery in the data storage environment, comprising a processor, memory, and instructions to create a partition group index, deduplicate data items, format them into a recovery file, and load them onto nodes for restoration. The apparatus also includes functionalities for recovering nodes, accessing original file locations, generating per node data, determining duplicates, and storing deduplicated data items in a secondary data repository. Additionally, the patent covers a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for sub-cluster recovery, including instructions for creating a partition group index, deduplicating data items, formatting them into a recovery file, and loading them onto nodes for restoration.
