Patent number: 11934660Abstract: Embodiments are directed to tiered data store with persistent layers. A write tier in the file system for storing in a file system. A value for a performance metric that corresponds to write requests to the file system may be predicted based on characteristics of the write requests such that the performance metric may be determined based on a plurality of interactions with the write tier. The predicted value that exceeds a threshold value of the performance metric may be employed to cause performance of further actions, including: queuing a portion of the write requests in a memory buffer based on the predicted value and the threshold value; combining the queued portion of the write requests into s; storing the data segments in the write tier such that a measured value of the performance metric may be less than the threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Qumulo, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Christopher McMullan, Aaron James Passey, Jonathan Michael MacLaren, Yuxi Bai, Thomas Gregory Rothschilds, Michael Anthony Chmiel, Tyler Morrison Moody, Pathirat Kosakanchit, Rowan Arthur Phipps
