  • Data event management for monotonic read consistency in a distributed storage system
    Patent number: 12032562
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficiently maintaining a transaction sequence witness service to ensure that requests to read data provide consistent results across all storage nodes in a distributed system. Each storage node that stores data in response to a particular update event may first update the transaction sequence witness service with the sequence number for the update event. Thus, any other storage node that services a subsequent request for the data will be able to see, via the transaction sequence witness service, the sequence number that must be available on the storage node to respond to the request.

  • Witness service for ensuring data consistency in a distributed storage system
    Patent number: 11741078
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficiently maintaining a transaction sequence witness service to ensure that requests to read data provide consistent results across all storage nodes in a distributed system. When a storage node receives a request for a data object, the node may obtain—from transaction sequence witness service—the latest sequence number associated with the object. If the sequence number indicates the object has been modified in the period of time since the currently stored version was stored, the node can obtain the current version from persistent storage.
