Abstract
A method and system for storing an object in a distributed storage system are provided. An example system includes an object name identifier that receives a request to save an object having an initial object name within a file system space and determines, based on a set of regular expressions, whether the initial object name is a temporary object name. The example system also includes a converter that, when the initial object name is determined to be a temporary object name, transforms, based on the set of regular expressions, the initial object name into a permanent object name. The example system further includes a selector that applies a function to the permanent object name and selects, based on a result of the function applied to the permanent object name, a server of a plurality of servers. The object is sent to the selected server for storage.
