Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing data records subject to placement condition rules in a distributed data management system comprising a plurality of nodes. The method may include receiving, by an endpoint management component of the distributed data management system, a request for a data record. The method may also include routing, by the endpoint management component of the distributed data management system, the request to a node of the distributed data management system. The method may also include upon determining that the request is a create request, verifying, by a service component of the distributed data management system, a placement condition rule for the data record, where the placement condition rule is retrieved from a configuration component of the distributed data management system.
