Patent number: 12216592Abstract: A thread of a storage server determines that a command to modify a reservation record which comprises access permissions of an object stored at the server has been received. A version of the record is stored in an in-memory cache. The thread acquires a first lock associated with the record in exclusive mode, and a second lock in shared mode. The thread reads the cached version, constructs a modified version indicated in the command, and releases the second lock without updating the cache. After entries representing the modified version are stored in an operations journal, the thread acquires the second lock in exclusive mode and updates the cache. The thread then releases both locks. An indication that the command has succeeded is provided without verifying that the second version is stored at a metadata store.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2023Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Barak Pinhas, Hen Guetta, Alex Friedman

Patent number: 12216653Abstract: Methods for improving performance of tiered storage of a data processing service by detecting and reducing thrashing of data blocks between warm and cold storage tiers are disclosed. In order to understand the frequency of hits by incoming queries to data blocks that are not currently stored in the warm storage tier, the elapsed time between query hits to the respective data blocks may be tracked using timers. Times below a given amount of time may be used to indicate thrashing. For example, recently evicted data blocks that are subsequently hit by a query within a short amount of time since eviction may indicate thrashing. In scenarios in which thrashing may be occurring, a threshold corresponding to the number of times a given data block in the cold storage tier receives a query hit before being added to the warm storage tier may be turned on.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Induja Sreekanthan, Sriram Subramanian, Athanasios Papathanasiou, Vijayan Prabhakaran
