Abstract
A method of increasing the speed of disk reading and writing operations in a database by using nodes of memory and processors where the memory stores programs to be executed by the processors. The data in the database is separated into one or more buckets and at least two replicas of each bucket of data are stored in different storage devices of the nodes. Determining a subset of storage devices that will be dedicated to writing, while keeping at least one replica of each bucket dedicated to reading and dedicating at least a substantial portion of the remaining storage devices to reading.
