  • Metadata load distribution management
    Patent number: 10372370
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for redistributing data between memory clusters in a key value store. The data is redistributed according to a load balancing algorithm. Memory clusters are sorted into lists according to the number of intervals each cluster contains. Migration jobs are created by the load balancing algorithm to push data fragments from a larger cluster to a smaller cluster. Data fragments, or intervals, are selected for migration according to corresponding data fragments on a target cluster or the number of occupying data fragments on a target cluster. The redistribution of data helps avoid fragmentation of key ranges of intervals, decrease the overall number of non-adjacent key ranges, and to conform to the routing table requirements.
