Abstract
An apparatus and a method are provided. The apparatus of data analytics in a key-value solid state device (KVSSD) are disclosed. The KVSSD includes at least one KVSSD data container; and at least one KVSSD analytics container associated with at least one of the at least one KVSSD data container. The KVSSD data and analytics containers may be configured to store data and data analytics results in key-value pairs. The apparatus may include a virtual analytics container which is configured to utilize a field programmable gate array (FPGA) for performing a logical operation on data stored in multiple containers. A key in a key-value pair stored in a KVSSD analytics container may include a KVSSD data container identifier, a logical offset, and a user key that is also a key in a KVSSD data container associated with the KVSSD data container identifier. A value in a key-value pair may include a header of a fixed size, and analytics result information that depends on a type stored in the header. The type may include a first type to indicate storing user data associated with analytics and a second type to indicate holding references within the KVSSD data container where a key is written.
