    Abstract: A durable file system has been designed for storage devices that do not support write in place and/or that are susceptible to errors or failures. The durable file system also facilitates organization and access of large objects (e.g., gigabytes to terabytes in size). Regardless of whether target storage devices are configured with sequential write constraints, the durable file system writes object fragments across a set of sequences or ranges of storage units, such as logical blocks. The durable file system sequentially writes an object fragment into each storage unit sequence along with indexing information for the object fragments. In addition to writing the indexing information for the object fragments into the set of storage unit sequences, the durable file system updates the file system index with the object indexing information.

    Abstract: Technology is disclosed for deferring storage operations (e.g., writes or reads) during hostile events. When a data storage device experiences a hostile event, e.g., a vibration, shock, etc. contact by a head of the data storage device with a disk surface can cause errors or indeed damage. The technology can cause a data storage device to suspend storage operations until the hostile event is no longer detected.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques for managing data storage are disclosed. In some aspects, a front-end node responds to a request to write an object by dividing the object into multiple source data segments. The front-end node generates redundancy data for the multiple source data segments using a rateless erasure encoding. The front-end node associates a respective subset of the redundancy data with each of the multiple source data segments, wherein each subset of redundancy data and associated source data segment form an encoded segment. The rateless erasure encoding further includes defining multiple segment-level fragments within each of the encoded segments. The front-end node transmits each of the encoded segments to a selected one of multiple storage nodes, wherein each of the selected storage nodes are selected based on a determined storage layout of the encoded segments across the multiple storage nodes. For each of the received encoded segments, the storage node generates one or more protection fragments based on redundancy data generated from the segment-level fragments and stores the segment-level fragments and corresponding protection fragments across multiple storage media devices managed by the selected storage node.

    Abstract: A data management services architecture includes architectural components that run in both a storage and compute domains. The architectural components redirect storage requests from the storage domain to the compute domain, manage resources allocated from the compute domain, ensure compliance with a policy that governs resource consumption, deploy program code for data management services, dispatch service requests to deployed services, and monitor deployed services. The architectural components also include a service map to locate program code for data management services, and service instance information for monitoring deployed services and dispatching requests to deployed services. Since deployed services can be stateless or stateful, the services architecture also includes state data for the stateful services, with supporting resources that can expand or contract based on policy and/or service demand. The architectural components also include containers for the deployed services.

    Abstract: A rebuild node of a storage system can assess risk of the storage system not being able to provide a data object. The rebuild node(s) uses information about data object fragments to determine health of a data object, which relates to the risk assessment. The rebuild node obtains object fragment information from nodes throughout the storage system. With the object fragment information, the rebuild node(s) can assess object risk based, at least in part, on the object fragments indicated as existing by the nodes. To assess object risk, the rebuild node(s) treats absent object fragments (i.e., those for which an indication was not received) as lost. When too many object fragments are lost, an object cannot be rebuilt. The erasure coding technique dictates the threshold number of fragments for rebuilding an object. The risk assessment per object influences rebuild of the objects.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for a networked computing system are provided. One method includes detecting that a processor executable, policy decision point (PDP) has not responded to a request for accessing data associated with a storage system; predicting a response to the request using a machine-learned, request-response association maintained by a processor executable training device; and presenting the predicted response to a processor executable, policy enforcement point (PEP) for granting access to the data and denying access to the data, based on the predicted response.

    Abstract: An archival cloud storage service can be created with cost efficient components for large scale data storage and can efficiently use these components. A frontend of the cloud storage service presents an asynchronous storage interface to consuming devices of the cloud storage service. Providing an asynchronous storage service interface avoids at least some of the state data overhead that accompanies a time constrained interface (e.g., a request-response based interface with timeouts in seconds). Backend nodes of the cloud storage service periodically query the frontend servers to select requests that the backend nodes can fulfill. Each backend node selects requests based on backend characteristics information, likely dynamic characteristics, of the backend node. Thus, the storage system underlying the cloud storage service can be considered a self-organizing storage system.
