  • Publication number: 20210342317
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and techniques for enabling migration of data between data storage devices without disruption to an application that relies upon the data. In some embodiments, this may involve the insertion of a redirect command into a mutation log. Upon receiving a transaction that relates to a data value, a transactor host may access the mutation log. Upon detecting the redirect command, the transactor host may generate a new mutation log in a second memory location which includes a reference to the mutation log. New mutations generated by the mutation log are then written to the new mutation log.

  • Publication number: 20210342311
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and techniques for enabling data to be updated within a data store through concurrent operations. Embodiments of the system enables multiple client applications (e.g., implemented on a cloud platform) to update data concurrently. In some embodiments, operations may be determined to be either client-managed operations or service-managed operations. Client-managed operations may be performed by a client application, whereas the client application may pass service-managed operations to a service application. The service application may put each of the service-managed operations into a commit queue wherein each service-managed operation is committed only after the one put into the queue before it has been committed.
