Offloading upload processing of a file in a distributed system using a key that includes a hash created using attribute(s) of a requestor and/or the file

Abstract:

Techniques are described herein that are capable of offloading upload processing of a file in a distributed system. A request is received from a requestor to upload a file to a transactional database of a DBMS. Information regarding the requestor and/or the file is extracted from the request. A determination is made that the file is to be uploaded to a non-indexing file storage system in lieu of the transactional database based at least in part on the extracted information satisfying one or more criteria. A key that includes a hash is generated. The hash is created using attribute(s) of the requestor and/or the file from the extracted information. The key is provided to the requestor. The key and at least a portion of the file are received from the requestor. Uploading of the file to the non-indexing file storage system in lieu of the transactional database is initiated.
