Data protection for a document database system

Abstract:

In an example, method of data protection in a document database system includes grouping documents input to the document database system into super documents, each of the super documents including a plurality of chunks, each of the plurality of chunks including one of the documents. The method further includes operating an object storage system according to a storage policy that implements parity processing, where the parity processing includes computing parity chunks for the super documents and storing the parity chunks in an object store, where a plurality of the parity chunks are computed for each of the super documents. The method further includes sending each of the super documents to the object storage system for parity processing according to the storage policy.
