REPLICATION OF PARENT RECORD HAVING LINKED CHILD RECORDS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY REPLICATED ASYNCHRONOUSLY ACROSS DATA STORAGE REGIONS

Abstract:

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums for efficient asynchronous replication of hierarchical records across data storage locations. Methods and systems are also described for efficiently updating replicated records. Disclosed also in some examples are improved storage, replication, and distribution of data related to network-based meetings (e.g., media) in hierarchical records. Data for one or more components of the meeting (e.g., media) may be stored in a child record (called a component record). The network-based meeting may be described by a parent record with links to, and in some examples descriptions of, the meeting component records (the child records).
