Abstract

Techniques are provided for implementing a persistent key-value store for caching client data, journaling, and/or crash recovery. The persistent key-value store may be hosted as a primary cache that provides read and write access to key-value record pairs stored within the persistent key-value store. The key-value record pairs are stored within multiple chains in the persistent key-value store. Journaling is provided for the persistent key-value store such that incoming key-value record pairs are stored within active chains, and data within frozen chains is written in a distributed manner across distributed storage of a distributed cluster of nodes. If there is a failure within the distributed cluster of nodes, then the persistent key-value store may be reconstructed and used for crash recovery.
