Assigning storage responsibility in distributed storage system with replication
By Francis Pelletier | November 7, 2017 at 2:28 pmeBay Inc., San Jose, CA, has been assigned a patent (9,800,575) developed by Lewis, Mark S., Pleasanton, CA, and Povzner, Anna, San Jose, CA, for a “assigning storage responsibility in a distributed data storage system with replication.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A data location table master system generates a master data location table storing associations of tokens with storage nodes for varying responsibility levels. When the master data location table is updated, the data location table master system updates storage nodes affected by the update as well as other storage nodes and application nodes in the system. Then, the storage nodes and the application nodes store a copy of the master data location table. A token migration and synchronization process reallocates data object storage among the storage nodes based on the updated master data location table.”
The patent application was filed on September 24, 2014 (14/495,431).
