Abstract
The presently disclosed subject matter includes a system and methods to read, write, and distribute large volumes of data based on a finite state machine while maintaining the integrity of data. The system reads and writes records of variable size and stores such records in set of record blocks. Each block from the set of record blocks has a fixed block size and stores an integral number of records. Records are not split among two or more record blocks but instead when there is not enough vacant space to store a record in a current record block the system uses another record block to prevent splitting that record. The format and data transfer protocol implemented by the system enables the storage of large volumes of data in distributed storage devices without compromising data integrity while minimizing computational costs.
