Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for a naming service in a distributed memory object system. In one embodiment, a name service method includes electing a primary node for the master key value store from a plurality of name service nodes, the primary node to receive master key value requests, a master key value store containing an entry for each directory within the distributed memory object, wherein the master key value store is configured for associating a directory pathname to a uniform unique identifier, and replicating the master key value store across the plurality of name service nodes. In another embodiment, a name service computing device includes a primary node for the master key value store, wherein the primary node is selected from a plurality of name service nodes and is configured to receive master key value requests, a master key value store containing an entry for each directory within the distributed memory object, wherein the master key value store is configured to associate a directory pathname to a uniform unique identifier, and the system further being in communication with the plurality of name service nodes, wherein the master key value store is rep…
