Content Platform Engine uses
the following queue sweeps for advanced storage areas:
- Abandoned content deletion sweep: Content requests that cannot
be processed successfully remain in a queue for any of the following
reasons: content is either abandoned by a client during upload, content
is abandoned by the system during a failed move content operation,
or content is not needed by the system due to deduplication. The sweep
deletes the abandoned content from all storage devices, also referred
to as replicas.
- Content deletion sweep: Requests to delete content are placed
in a queue. The sweep deletes the specified content from all replicas.
- Content replication sweep: Content that is not synchronously uploaded
to a replica is asynchronously uploaded. Upload requests are placed
in the replication queue, and the sweep initiates uploads to replicas.
A single set of queue sweeps services all of the advanced storage
areas set on an object store. When you create an advanced storage
area, Content Platform Engine automatically
creates the queue sweeps. A queue sweep runs continuously as a background
task, but you can define time periods that specify when processing
of sweep requests occurs. You can disable queue sweeps, set other
properties, and monitor sweep results.
