Abstract
A client request, formatted in accordance with a file system interface, is received at an access subsystem of a distributed multi-tenant storage service. After the request is authenticated at the access subsystem, an atomic metadata operation comprising a group of file system metadata modifications is initiated, including a first metadata modification at a first node of a metadata subsystem of the storage service and a second metadata modification at a second node of the metadata subsystem. A plurality of replicas of at least one data modification corresponding to the request are saved at respective storage nodes of the service.
