Abstract
Described herein are various systems and methods to automatically decide to aggregate data write requests in a distributed data store. A system initiates outgoing data write requests in synchronization with incoming data store commands, thereby facilitating low-latency read-back of the data. In response to an absence of data read requests, the system automatically changes such that each request includes two or more data sets, thereby breaking synchronization but consequently reducing traffic load on a switching network within the system. If the system later detects data read requests for previously stored data, the system will automatically change back to the original synchronized state, thereby decreasing the latency of accessing stored data. The system alternates between the modes of operation to achieve balance between low latency of data access and reduced traffic load on the switching network.
