  • Patent number: 9424362
    Abstract: Aspects are disclosed for publishing contents of a content store. A storage operation is performed, and a completion of the storage operation is detected. Here, the storage operation redundantly stores contents of a content set onto instances associated with a content store. The contents stored in the instances are then published in response to the completion of the storage operation. In another aspect, a dataset table is generated to facilitate storing contents of a content set, which include payload and metadata. The payload is stored onto a payload table, and the metadata is stored onto a metadata table. For this embodiment, the dataset table includes a first foreign key to the payload table, whereas the metadata table includes a second foreign key to the dataset table. The dataset table is monitored to determine a storage status of the contents, and the contents are subsequently published based on the storage status.
