Abstract
Presented herein are methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and devices for integrating a hybrid model of fine-grained locking and data-partitioning wherein fine-grained locking is added to existing systems that are based on hierarchical data-partitioning in order in increase parallelism with minimal code re-write. Methods for integrating a hybrid model of fine-grained locking and data-partitioning are disclosed which include: creating, by a network storage server, a plurality of domains for execution of processes of the network storage server, the plurality of domains including a domain; creating a hierarchy of storage filesystem subdomains within the domain, wherein each of the subdomains corresponds to one or more types of processes, wherein at least one of the storage filesystem subdomains maps to a data object that is locked via fine-grained locking; and assigning processes for simultaneous execution by the storage filesystem subdomains within the domain and the at least one subdomain that maps to the data object locked via fine-grained locking.
