Abstract
A storage system is described. The storage system includes an object store having a plurality of objects containing information. The storage system also includes a cluster of locking nodes to implement a distributed synchronization locking mechanism. The cluster of locking nodes include a proposer node and a plurality of acceptor nodes. The proposer node to broadcast to the acceptor nodes a proposed lock on at least some of the information. The acceptor nodes to vote on the proposed lock based on respective locking information kept in a local store of each acceptor node.
