Abstract
An exemplary method includes sending a storage query to a plurality of storage nodes of a data storage system, the storage query including a data identifier of a data instance and an inquiry as to which of the storage nodes can store the data instance; receiving, in response to the storage query, a plurality of responses from a subset of storage nodes included in the plurality of storage nodes and that have at least a predetermined minimum amount of free storage space, the responses including information about each of the storage nodes included in the subset; selecting, based on the information included in the responses, multiple storage nodes included in the subset; and sending the data instance and the data identifier to the selected storage nodes for storage by the selected storage nodes.
