    "patent_abstract": "Techniques are described for partitioning B-tree keys of file systems into key ranges for parallel processing in delta generation during file storage replications between file systems in different cloud infrastructure regions. In certain embodiments, a delta generation processing for cross-region replication may utilize a key-range splitting mechanism involving a recursive algorithm that partitions B-tree keys of a source file system into roughly equal-size key ranges. All the partitioned key ranges may be processed in parallel and concurrently by different processing threads, one thread per key range, to improve the performance of the delta generation and achieve scalability.",
    "precision_class": "structural",
    "invention_explanation": "A method that splits a file system’s sorted index into similarly sized key ranges so multiple processors can identify replication changes at the same time.",
