Deleting Files in the Celeste Peer-to-Peer Storage System
Overview Celeste is a robust peer-to-peer object store built on top of a Distributed Hash Table (DHT). Celeste is a working system, developed by Sun Microsystems Laboratories. During the development of Celeste, it faced the challenge of complete object deletion, and moreover, of deleting "Files" composed of several different objects. This important problem is not solved by merely deleting meta-data, as there are scenarios in which all file contents must be deleted, e.g., due to a court order. This paper presents an algorithm that eventually deletes all file content, data and meta-data, in the aforementioned complex scenarios. The algorithm is fully functional and has been successfully integrated into Celeste.
