Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a system for facilitating a lightweight distributed storage system. During operation, the system generates a data segment from a data file associated with a write operation and determines a storage key for the data segment. The storage key indicates a calculated storage path associated with a replica of the data segment. The system then determines whether a user-defined storage path is specified by a user for the data segment. If a user-defined storage path has not been specified by the user for the data segment, the system generates a data packet comprising the data segment, wherein a destination for the data packet corresponds to a target disk specified by the calculated storage path.
