Abstract
Systems, methods, and machine-readable media are disclosed for running an executable object on an object storage system. An executable object including executable code is stored on a first storage node of an object storage system. The first storage node receives a request to run the executable object. The first storage node identifies the physical location of one or more data objects of interest to be processed by the executable object. The first storage node runs the executable object to process the identified one or more data objects. The first storage node receives a request from a second storage node of the object storage system for the executable object in response to one or more data objects of interest being located at the second storage node. The first storage node sends a copy of the executable object to the second storage node.
