  • Patent number: 12346196
    Abstract: A method is described. The method includes executing a PUT operation for an object including attempting to store the object's data and first protection information into S storage devices and attempting to store second protection information into one or more R additional storage devices. The method includes determining that at least one write attempt into the S storage devices was not successful.

  • Publication number: 20250028599
    Abstract: A method is described. The method includes receiving a PUT operation request from a user to store a data item. The method also includes sending S PUT commands to S working storage devices to respectively store S replicas or extents for the data item. The method also includes confirming to the user that the data item was stored after receiving X acknowledgments from the S working devices where X<S. The method also includes, in response to a crash, reading non volatile records for the S working devices that record successful stores performed by the S working devices having corresponding acknowledgements that were not responded to. The method also includes recognizing from the non volatile records that less than S of the S replicas or extents were successfully stored into the S working devices. The method includes causing those of the S replicas or extents that were not successfully stored to be stored to complete the PUT operation.

  • Patent number: 12141447
    Abstract: A method is described. The method includes storing data extent replicas for each of a plurality of data extents, wherein, data extent replicas for a same one of the data extents are stored in different physical storage devices, and wherein, a same physical storage device is permitted to store respective data extent replicas of different ones of the data extents. The method includes writing to the respective data extent replicas for at least one of the data extents multiple times without calculating one or more parity extents for the plurality of data extents. The method includes upon a writing activity criteria having been met, calculating one or more parity extents for the data extents and storing the parity extents, and, preserving at least one of the data extent replicas for each of the plurality of data extents.

  • Patent number: 11061928
    Abstract: A method is described that includes providing a snapshot counter for a storage system implemented with multiple distributed consistent database instances. The method further includes recognizing the taking of a snapshot of the storage system by incrementing the snapshot counter from a first snapshot counter value to a second snapshot counter value. The method further includes, in response to a first change for one of the distributed consistent databases subsequent to the taking of the snapshot, performing the following: saving state information of the distributed consistent database as the state information existed prior to the change and associating the first snapshot counter value to the state information. Associating the second snapshot counter's value with the distributed consistent database having the first change. Another method for the taking of a snapshot of a distributed consistent database is also described.

  • Patent number: 10754878
    Abstract: A storage system is described. The storage system includes an object store having a plurality of objects to implement a quota policy or a part of a relational database. The plurality of objects include a first plurality of immutable objects, a second plurality of immutable objects and a head object. The first plurality of immutable objects contain information kept within the database. The second plurality of immutable objects contain a hierarchy of pages for accessing the first plurality of immutable objects. The plurality of objects also include a mutable object that contains a mapping table that maps identifiers of the pages to identifiers of objects of the second plurality of immutable objects. The information is one of: quota policy information; information within a table of a relational database; a stripe of a thin provisioned file.

  • Patent number: 10248682
    Abstract: An apparatus is described including a large scale distributed storage system. The large scale distributed storage system includes an object store. The large scale distributed storage system includes a plurality of connector nodes coupled to the object store. The connector nodes are to provide access to the object store for respective users that are respectively coupled to the connector nodes. The connector nodes are to provide the following services for the respective users: a snapshot of a storage system implemented within said object store; branching from a snapshot taken of said storage system implemented within said object store; locking of information kept within said storage system implemented within said object store.

  • Patent number: 9311135
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for generating secure universal object identifiers on a multipurpose storage system is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a client system in communication with a network. An application server is in communication with the network. A storage cluster is in communication with the network. The storage cluster has a plurality of storage nodes. The client system stores a data object via the application server. The application server generates an object identifier assigned to the data object. The application server stores the data object on a storage node of the plurality of storage nodes. The data object is moved to another application server without moving contents of the data object in the storage cluster.
