Abstract

Policy-based storage and retrieval combined with a distribution algorithm results in automatic and even distribution of policy-based storage structures across a set of nodes and dynamic, automated homing or ownership of policy-based storage structures. Large numbers of policy-based storage structures may be distributed without manual administration, allowing for rapid creation and destruction of storage structures. The overall load may be distributed and balanced across the server pool. Multiple entries having the same key value in a database- or table-like structure allow for distribution of policy-based storage and retrieval by key value and for queue semantics to be utilized for microqueues in the large database- or table-like structure.
